The partnership comes after a collaborative RFP process including input from students, faculty and staff. Aramark serves hundreds of educational institutions, sports teams and businesses around the world.

“We are excited to work with Aramark to improve food service opportunities for the campus community,” said Associate Vice President for Campus Services Kasey Helton. “The collaboration will transform the dining program while maintaining high-quality standards, reasonably priced options and a variety that support the diverse needs of the Tech community.”

Aspects of the new contract will include:

• Hyper-local partnerships with area celebrity chefs and restauranteurs.
• New technology to streamline service and wait times.
• More creative menus and varied choices focused on quality, health, convenience and personalization.
• Renovations of dining facilities.
• Sustainability initiatives.

“Aramark is extremely proud to partner with Georgia Tech," said Jeff Gilliam, president of Aramark’s Higher Education division. “We look forward to helping the Institute with its campus transformation of the Wenn Student Center and ultimately enhancing the living and learning experience and environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors.”
