Welcome to Campus: The Northside Dining Terrace at Drexel
Posted by Samantha Lazar on February 8, 2010
After construction that lasted through the summer and fall, the Northside Dining Terrace is officially open at Drexel. The 5,000 square foot modern building is on Race St. between 33rd and 34th, right in the heart of the residential northern part of campus. It’s a welcome addition for students with late-night cravings (most of its retailers are open until 1 a.m.) or for those simply sick of cafeteria food.
The metal and glass structure was built with environmental sustainability in mind, and the interior feels sunny and open. Once warmer weather comes through you’ll also be able to take advantage of outdoor dining space. It houses franchises selected by a campus-wide vote. There’s the ever-popular Subway and Chik-fil-A, as well as a Currito (delicious burritos) and Southern Tsunami, which makes fresh sushi on site. There’s also a small market to pick up essentials like milk, cereal, and toilet paper.
The overwhelming lines that packed the Terrace right when it opened after winter break have died down a bit, making it a welcoming and convenient place to grab a bite or take a study break.
