Texas State students are still having to cope with several construction projects on campus. Bobcat Update's ReGine Murray has more on the story.
SB
Many students were surprised to find the number of projects still underway when they returned to campus for the spring semester. Alkek Library is about finished except for the first floor, and getting through the L-B-J Student Center can be a struggle. Luckily for students, the new Chick-Fil-A restaurant is finished and offering full service. The restaurant will have a grand opening celebration on February 5th.

Georges, the student hangout at L-B-J, will have its grand opening on January 28th, even though construction is running a little behind. Georges' twitter account and the L-B-J Student Center's website provide up-to-date information on how the project is moving forward.

Disruptions at the L-B-J Student Center will continue through at least May of 2020 when the renovations are supposed to be completed. For Bobcat Update, I'm Re'Gine Murray.

Texas State University is replacing some dining hall cashiers with self-serving kiosks. Bobcat Update's Ashley Bowerman has the story.
The Undergraduate Academic Center Café and Jones Dining Center now have touch-screen kiosks for ordering and purchasing food. The new kiosks do not accept cash. The only acceptable forms of payment are credit or debt cards as well as meal swipes, dining dollars, Bobcat Bucks, Samsung or Apple Pay. Texas State senior Darrell Green says the kiosks eliminate the much-needed customer service experience.

With a population of about 38-thousand students, the university is seeking to minimize long dining hall lines. Texas State senior Mark Brown says the kiosks increase efficiency.

Alison Quisenberry
With an enrollment of more than 38-thousand, Texas State has added several new facilities in recent years to accommodate its students. One example is the addition of the Bruce and Gloria Ingram Hall. Bobcat Update's Alison Quisenberry tells us more in this report.
Ingram Hall, or the Engineering and Science Building, was a two-year project that cost nearly 120-million-dollars. With five floors of classrooms and state-of-the-art STEM technology, Ingram Hall is the perfect home for students pursuing degrees in engineering, biology and many other topics.
[SB]
Any student -- whether they're taking classes in the building or not -- can appreciate the facility. Construction continues even though the building is already open for classes.

Emily Garcia
Texas State has introduced a new dining experience this semester. Dining halls now have self-serving kiosks available for students. Bobcat Update's Emily Garcia has the story.
Kiosks are available in Jones Dining Hall and the Undergraduate Academic Center, where students can place their orders and pay without having to speak to a restaurant employee. Simply place your order at the kiosk, take your receipt and wait for your order number to be called. The only catch is -- NO cash transactions will be accepted.

Kiosks offer a convenience.
