Hickey Dining Hall

The Hickey Dining Hall is a pivotal location here at St. Bonaventure University, especially during the pandemic. It is a place that facilitates conversation and grows friendships through meals and various campus run events. A common place that offers background entertainment through tv programs and elevator music. The Hickey is a place that should not be over looked when visiting this campus.

Due to the influx of COVID-19 cases on campus, adjustments were made in order to protect the students as best as possible. First, there was a smaller amount of tables available and limited seating, not allowing for any chairs to be moved or switched. Table spaces included multiple tables to spread consumers apart. Second, students were required to wear masks in all parts of the building, other than their tables while they were eating. Third, students were to follow a traffic pattern entering and exiting the building. Students were only allowed in by the Wolf Den, or Dev, and were only allowed to exit by Shay/Loughlen. On top of all of these changes, the food ordering process changed quite a bit. The system went from a self-serve buffet to a worker-served buffet with workers also required to wear masks.
