Dining Information

Important Summer ’21 Information!

Over the course of this summer, Commons will gradually transition back to its pre-COVID configuration, following Maine CDC and Bates College guidelines. Beginning with May 28th, we will no longer be providing grab and go meals as seating will be available in Commons. June 1st through the 5th we will be moving from paper to reusable service ware. 

Our normal food removal policy will be in effect beginning May 28th. Diners may eat as much as they’d like while in Commons, but the packing out of meals or bulk snacks is prohibited. If you are enjoying a treat on the way out that’s fine, but the removal of meals, bulk food or any Commons china, glasses or silverware is prohibited.

If you have a conflict at the meal times provided or have a special dietary need, please reach out to Kelly Perreault at kperrea2@bates.edu or 207-786-6299.
