Barrett students living within the Barrett College campus (ASU Tempe) are required to have a Barrett Meal Plan. The honors college, in collaboration with Barrett students, participated in establishing the meal plans and negotiating the costs with the university dining vendor, Aramark, who ultimately set the rates and options.

For more meal plan information please download the Barrett Honors College Dining Plan pamphlet.

EXCITING, WHOLESOME, INFORMED DINING AT BARRETT

To complement a “living and learning environment” at Barrett, we understand that our meal plan program must do more than serve students’ basic needs. It must encourage them to spend more time on campus studying, learning and living with fellow students, peer mentors, and Barrett faculty by offering an exceptional environment. One of the main features of the new Barrett Residential Community is its exceptional dining program. From the beginning, Dean Jacobs envisioned a refectory (as shown in the picture to the left) modeled after the “college” dining at Harvard, Yale and in the British University systems.

The Barrett experience is like no other living-learning experience offered at Arizona State University. The meal plans should look different, too. Barrett students will have options not available to students living in traditional residential communities – upscale menu items, proliferation of local, organic and sustainable foods, ethnic foods, sushi and Signature desserts.

By implementing our innovative culinary preparation and service practices, students will enjoy the variety and ingenuity of multiple menu concepts – from vegan options to steak and salmon. Also, a monthly special event calendar will be executed at select stations. In keeping with our sustainable intentions, local food providers will be featured as “local flavors” for students to enjoy.
 DISTINCT FEATURES OF THE BARRETT MEAL PLAN

Barrett will be a warm, inviting and unique eating environment—it will not be just the place where you have to eat, but the place where you want to eat, and invite your friends to meet, study and stay. There will be twice as many meal options at Barrett with a menu concentrating on healthy and fresh (farm-to-fresh) ingredients. The menu is more diverse with choices from organic vegetables to personally carved roast beef and grilled cage-free chicken to freshly baked breads prepared right before your eyes. Food station menus will change daily.

Learn more about the Barrett dining experience by reviewing the Servery Floor Plan to see the layout of the state-of the art stations offering the following options: Vegetarian & Vegan, Tuscan Pizza, Made-to-Order Pasta, Fresh & Green, Stacked Deli, Simmering Soup, Home Cooked, Rotisserie, Grilled, Around the World, Bakery, and Gelato.

At each station, we will feature educational information surrounding the daily dining experience, from where the day’s green beans were harvested to explaining the Monterey Bay Seafood practices and how we abide by them.
