Houston Market
The Houston Market, located on the ground floor of the building, has been completely renovated in 2018, including enhancements to the kitchen, serving and seating areas, and the introduction of new dining concepts. The work enables Penn Dining to provide broader food options and improve efficiency for diners, especially during peak hours. The design leverages the history and architecture of the Student Union @ Houston Hall space, the oldest student union building in the country, to create an inviting gathering place. Seating arrangements have integrated technology, allowing diners to plug-in, charge, and connect.
For Houston Market hours, please visit the Penn Dining page.
