Faculty and staff can purchase Block20 meal plan for reduced price
SIU’s Culinary and Nutrition Services, commonly known as “Dining,” is offering faculty and staff the opportunity to purchase the Block20 Plan at a significant cost savings, giving them 20 meal swipes at Trueblood and Lentz Dining for $190.
Both dining halls provide an all-you-care-to-eat dine-in experience and Trueblood Dining features the Grill, which is a Mongolian-style flattop grill where guests can choose their proteins, vegetables and sauce options and then watch as their food is prepared. The dining hall hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. University Housing officials note that the dining halls support the Imagine 2030 sustainability pillar through composting food leftovers in partnership with SIU Student Sustainable Farms.
Contact University Housing at 618-453-2301 or housing@siu.edu for more information about purchasing the Block20 Plan. Additional Block20 passes can be purchased at any time. Passes carry over from the fall semester to the spring semester but end at the conclusion of the spring semester.
The regular cost for an adult meal is $12.50 plus 11.25% tax for brunch, lunch or dinner. Breakfast is $8.25 plus tax. Meals for children ages 4-12 are $6.50 each, while kids 3 and younger each free. Find menus online.
