Old Main Market
Old Main Market is a 23,000-square-foot dining hall located at the intersection of Bearkat Boulevard and University Avenue. The structure was first proposed as early as 2007, when it was tentatively planned to be located east of the Student Health Center [1]. In 2008, the Houstonian reported the proposed location of the Northside Dining Facility had moved and would replace existing structures on Bearkat Boulevard - namely Lawrence and Mitchell Houses - north of Belvin-Buchanan Hall [2]. In March 2010, the SHSU Physical Plant announced that construction would begin approximately April 5. In May 2011, the Board of Regents approved changing the building's name upon completion to one memorializing Old Main. The $8.5 million facility opened in August 2011.
