Franklin DC renovation and addition
Hey guys. We know about the April fools joke about Franklin DC closing, but this is serious. I saw the UMass system 2026-2030 capital plan notes that Franklin DC will be renovated and expanded. They will most likely keep the old looks on the outside with a renovated interior and expanded seating and potentially new options to eat. What you want to see?
Here is my ideas
- Upgraded stir fry station for woks in Frank
- A upgraded deli, which allows for both cold and hot sandwiches and possibility for more protein and topping options, as well as equipment and menu items like in deli delish in campus center
- An upgraded Jewish station with a possibility of a Jewish deli so Jewish and non Jewish students can have pastrami on rye on campus and other Jewish selections
- A noodle bowl that can compete well against other dining halls with possible Frank’s exclusives
- Upgraded hard serve ice cream bar with more ice cream options
- An upgraded grab and go, which further increase the capacity and shorter wait times for the lunch rush
What you all want? LMK and let’s hope the old structure doesn’t get torn down as Frank is a legend!
