Old building becomes cafeteria
Airmen’s center remodeled
By RICHARD OLIVER
Battalion Reporter
Work has begun in the old Air
men’s Service Center at the Texas
A&M Research and Extension Cen
ter on Highway 21 to convert it into
a cafeteria, a University official said
Friday.
Lloyd Smith, associate director of
food services, said, “It’s really just a
change in location. There’s some
construction involved to adapt the
building to put a kitchen in.”
Smith said there has been a food
service facility at the Research and
Extension Center for about 10
years, but now there is a need for
better facilities.
“It’s being built as a convenience
because of the expanding programs
out there,” he said. “There wasn’t a
real need for cafeteria space until
now. It’s a much better facility than
what we currently have. Also, most
people out there don’t have any
other place to go to eat. The closest
place to go is downtown Bryan,
which is five miles away. It’s a 15- or
20- minute drive to get to the main
campus, so there’s a real need.”
Smith believes the move will be
helpful due to crowded conditions
in the current food service facility.
“We re located right now in some
dormitory barracks which were built
just before they closed the Bryan
Air Force Base about 10 years ago,
so it really hasn’t been there very
long. The kitchen’s really cramped,
though. It’s tough trying to cook in a
kitchen made from dorm rooms.”
Smith said the new cafeteria’s
board plan will be different from the
MSC cafeteria board plan.
“It will be a five-day operation.

They have a refil mixture of people
coming in to the Engineering Ex
tension Service and the different
schools out there, so there will be a
combination of board and cash. The
people living in dorms will be on a
board operation, but there are sev
eral instructors and staff people who
eat out there also, so they’ll use cash
and we ll just intermingle the two.
It will be open to everyone who’s
got the money.”
Smith said the Airmen’s Service
Center building is in good shape
and the renovation should be com
pleted by March 1.
“The building is really in good
shape, but it hasn’t beenii
in recent years,” he;

from out there and some
