Campus Dining

Our main dining facility, Crossroads at Gwinn Commons, offers a restaurant-style atmosphere and menu to accommodate student preferences. SPU also has a campus convenience store (Corner Place Market), and a retail restaurant and grill (Falcon’s Landing). Espresso drinks and snacks are served at Academic Perks in Falcon’s Landing and Pura Vida coffee house in Weter Lounge.

Crossroads provides food service beginning with the evening meal the day residence halls open and ending with the evening meal on the last day of finals. Food service is not provided in Crossroads or Falcon’s Landing during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Spring breaks. Corner Place Market and Pura Vida operate on a limited schedule during breaks.

Residence Halls. All students who reside Ashton, Hill, Emerson, and Moyer are required to choose one of five “metal” meal plans: Platinum, Gold, Copper, Silver, or Bronze.

Each plan combines access to SPU’s main dining facility, Crossroads at Gwinn Commons, with a set amount of SPU Points to spend at any dining location. SPU Points are worth a penny a point and save the user sales tax. Unused SPU Points will roll from quarter to quarter but not from year to year.

Campus Apartments. Although not required to have one, students living in campus apartments may choose any meal plan, including a Block 25 (25 entrances into Crossroads at Gwinn Commons), Block 50 (50 entrances into Crossroads at Gwinn Commons), or Advantage Points.

Advantage Points are used in the same manner as SPU Points but are not linked to a metal meal plan. A minimum purchase of $15 is required. Unused Advantage Points will roll from quarter to quarter and from year to year. Blocks and Advantage Point plans are nonrefundable.

Theme Housing. Theme housing residents must choose a minimum of one Block 25 plan per year, but may choose an expanded meal plan if desired.

Meal plans are nontransferable. There are no refunds or adjustments made for meals missed. Meal-plan changes may be made at the end of each quarter to be effective the following quarter. Please refer to the Residential Student Guidebook for specific dates. Additional information regarding meal plans is available from Housing and Meal Plan Services at 206-281-2188 or online.
