Diverse Dining Experiences

The Robert Spitzer Dining Commons is open seven days a week. Hours on weekdays are from 7 a.m. – 10:30 p.m.  Weekend Hours are from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.

MSOE challenges students to maximize their potential. This challenge requires healthy and nutritious dining options and collaborative spaces. Sustainable practices and locally sourced ingredients meet students' expectations for healthy eating options. The Robert Spitzer Dining Commons is an intentionally designed space to increase and enhance food service capacity to support students, faculty, and staff. The Dining Commons creates a community with tasty dining options, places to meet, spaces to study, and a game room to socialize in. The Robert Spitzer Dining Commons is the university's central gathering location.
