Harrison Dining Hall Officially Opens

Sandra Mason, with husband Joe, was honored for her initiative and service to BASC and the College community at the grand opening of the newly renovated Harrison Dining Hall.

Brockport, NY – The College at Brockport officials formally opened the newly renovated Harrison Dining Hall, Thursday, November 8.

The College at Brockport President John R. Halstead, Sandra Mason, former executive director of the Brockport Auxilliary Service Corporation (BASC), and Brockport Student Government President Darnell Pierce were on hand to cut the ribbon on the latest campus capital improvement project.

As part of the formal program, recently retired former BASC director Sandra Mason was recognized for her 25 years of service to the Brockport Auxiliary Service Corporation and for her initiative and many contributions that made the Harrison transformation possible.

The beneficiary of a $6.5 million renovation, Harrison Dining Hall was transformed from the traditional all-you-care-to-eat foodservice operation into a premier facility offering a contemporary dining experience, serving approximately 900 diners at each meal.

The eatery’s new interior design incorporates a contemporary palette of earth tones with splashes of bright colors such as cobalt blue and fire engine red, with several serving stations replacing the two traditional straight-line food counters. The cuisine tempts patrons with a range of culinary options, from Mediterranean, to international, to American/regional cuisine, each station featuring its own theme and menu selections.

Diners also will enjoy traditional favorites like fresh dough pizza from an earth stone oven, burgers hot off the grill, and specialty made-to-order wraps and sandwiches, in addition to new menu items such as stir-fries and restaurant-style entrées. The new facility will showcase the restaurant-style kitchen, highlight fresh and often made-to-order entrees, and will encourage customers to interact with the food service professionals.
