Café will open five days a week for lunch

Beginning Tuesday, January 22, Evelyn’s Café will be expanding its hours to Monday through Friday from 11AM—2PM; it will feature a locally-sourced seasonal menu. Rensselaer’s student run and sustainability focused Terra Café will be serving lunch on Wednesdays.

This expansion of café hours makes EMPAC an exceptional gathering space, providing opportunities for a meal with colleagues or a snack before or after a performance in the special atmosphere of the building. We hope to continue the expansion into the morning and evening hours in the future. And we are pleased that the daily offerings include eating local, a unique menu on campus.

—Johannes Goebel, director of EMPAC

"We are committed to showcasing local and sustainable ingredients to create a seasonal contemporary menu for our guests."

—Elaine Reynolds, Hospitality Services marketing director

Opened in 2008, the café will continue to be open one hour before all curated events as well as during intermissions and after most performances.
