More than a million meals served in UH dining halls this past academic year
 
University of Houston Dining Services hit a significant milestone on May 5 when it surpassed the 1 million mark for the number of meals served in a single academic year in its dining halls. This is the first time that number has been reached.

The final tally for the 2012-2013 year was 1,020,315 meals served. It only includes meals served in the Fresh Food Company in Moody Towers and the Cougar Woods Dining Hall.

�A milestone like this cannot happen without folks from all areas of the university working in partnership to make it possible. We look forward to even greater things next year,� said Geoff Herbert, resident district manager for UH Dining Services.

As the University of Houston continues to grow into its Tier 1 status, UH Dining Services is committed to growing along with it in responding to the needs of the campus community. The addition of a gluten-friendly station at the Fresh Food Company offered a new service to students with gluten sensitivities. Over the past year, UHDS also has added a Taco Cabana, Subway and food trucks to meet students� needs. The University Center is being remodeled and will open in January 2014 with additional dining choices like McDonalds and Panda Express.
