Washtenaw Community College has a new dining partner, ,  providing food service on the first floor of the Student Center.

Creative Dining, a Michigan-based company, serves many colleges and universities and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is excited to have them on campus to serve our community. For the last couple of months, Creative Dining and the college have partnered to create a new food service program while maintaining a safe and clean environment; delicious, high-quality food options at an affordable price; and excellent customer service. 

Java Spot is open now from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. As student volume picks up on campus, a new deli station (replacing Subway) and the Grille (including some favorite guest restaurants) will return.

Some highlights of the new partnership between Creative Dining and Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ:

Fresh Made Options Prepared Daily

Commitment to Sustainability

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and Creative Dining are committed to establishing a food service program that promotes sustainability. Some of these initiatives include source reduction of resources, responsible food sourcing, Green Seal Certified cleaning products, as well as a comprehensive recycling and composting program in conjunction with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµâ€™s recycling team.

Affordability

Creative Dining and the college are dedicated to offering high-quality food at a reasonable price.  We strive to always have a meal – an entrée, side and drink – in the $5 to $6 price range.

Mobile Ordering

A new mobile ordering app will be available soon for those of you on-the-go or looking for a more contactless process. The app will allow you to place an order, prepay for the order and set a designated pick-up time.
