The 459 Commons dining hall will close for months of renovations beginning on March 16, according to an announcement released Wednesday.
The announcement, from LSU Auxiliary Services and food service company Chartwells, said the extensive renovations would continue though the spring and summer but finish in time for The 459 to reopen for the fall 2024 semester.
While the facility is closed, The Club at Union Square, across the street from Barnes & Noble, will serve as a main dining hall location, according to the announcement. The Club will accept both residential and commuter meal swipe plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner beginning on March 17 at 4:30 p.m.
Last spring, the LSU Board of Supervisors finance committee voted to approve a $39 million contract with Chartwells for improvements to LSU’s dining halls, including renovations to The 459.
Mock up of renovations to the 459 Commons dining hall presented to the Board of Supervisors on April 21, 2023.
