The plaza, which will be on the edge of the new Innovation Campus development, will be constructed by Bauer and Son Construction and is expected to be complete and open in June.
It will include four vendor stalls that will allow food trucks to easily pull in and set up daily, similar to the ICT Pop-Up Urban Park in downtown 成人头条. The plaza will also include new lighting, sidewalks and a seating area that will eventually be adjacent to a pond on the Innovation Campus.
The list of trucks that could visit campus include Brickhouse BBQ, Brown Box Bakery, B.S. Sandwich Press, Charlie鈥檚 Pizza Taco, the Flying Stove, Funky Monkey Munchies, Garden of Eatin鈥�, Kind Kravings, Let鈥檓 Eat Brats, Lil鈥橞it Gourmet Burgers, Noble House Hawaiian Plate and Mr. Natural Soul Kitchen.
鈥淔ood trucks and college students are a winning combination,鈥� said Jodi Buchanan, owner of B.S. Sandwich Press and organizer for ICT Food Trucks. 鈥淭he food truck owners are highly anticipating this. We鈥檝e been trying to get onto campus for a long time, and we鈥檙e excited that the university is making it happen.鈥�
The Food Truck Plaza will be located at the intersection of Wheatshocker Drive and Perimeter Road across the street from the National Institute for Aviation Research.
鈥淩ight now it might seem a little removed from the rest of the campus,鈥� said John Tomblin, WSU vice president for research and technology transfer, 鈥渂ut before long it will be central to all of campus.鈥�
The plaza location is next to the Airbus Americas engineering office and Experiential Engineering building and GoCreate makerspace, which are under construction and expected to be complete in late 2016. It is also in close proximity to the area designated for a future residence hall.
