A food truck called Cravings and the first campus unit of Sodexo’s Farmer’s Field made-to-order salad concept highlight the enhancements coming to campus dining at Liberty University this fall. Also debuting will be an Auntie Anne’s unit in the school’s Tinney Cafe venue where the existing Pizza Hut unit will be adding the chain’s Wing Street offerings to its menu.

Also set to go live in time for fall classes at Liberty is an online ordering system for the Doc’s Gourmet To Go carry-out dining location, which is expected to be especially useful for faculty and staff, who can order and pay at their desks and then use Gourmet To Go’s drive thru on their way home from campus.

“The drive-thru will be an incredible asset and we’re excited to add such an innovation to a college campus,” said Sodexo Unit Marketing Coordinator Casey Guise in announcing the service.

Cravings will move around the campus throughout the week and will make appearances at sporting events. Locations and menu specials will be communicated to customers through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Farmer’s Field, which replaces the Simply To Go location currently in Tilley Student Center, will emphasize in-season, sustainable produce and protein, including fresh field greens from Liberty University Campus Garden. Customers can either choose one of six chef-designed salads from the menu or create their own mix, with the ingredients tossed together in front of them and served in a to-go container.
