Renovation Finished, New Dining Choices AboundSeptember 23, 2008  As students, faculty and staff visit the Viking Union this fall, they’ll notice some changes to their dining options at the Viking Union Market. “We completed the renovation on-time, earlier this month, and we’re pleased to present some exciting new food choices with the start of fall quarter,” said Lisa Philbrook, director of business development. The most noticeable changes at the Viking Union Market are the two new food formats – Mediterranean Grill and Chick-fil-A Express – plus an expanded Market Fresh Soups (and Chili) area.
