Totally Renovated Terrace Dining Room Reopens

After months of extensive renovation work, the new and improved Terrace Dining Room (TDR) reopened on Tuesday, October 1 with grand fanfare, including a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by American University students, leaders, and celebrity chef Jet Tila. The total renovation of TDR - its first in almost 40 years - was the culmination of years of planning and a flurry of work completed during the past summer.

"The transformation of TDR was much more than a renovation; it was a collaborative effort by our dedicated team, vendor and campus partners to elevate the student experience. We aimed to create a modern, welcoming space that offers diverse dining options to suit a broad range of tastes and dietary preferences, and I believe we've achieved that," said Bronté Burleigh-Jones, CFO, Vice President, and Treasurer of American University.
