The District on West Green
About
The District is supporting our Bobcats who have food allergies or who cannot consume gluten! We offer an entirely nut free menu, meaning those who are particularly sensitive to nuts always have somewhere to eat. We ask that nobody brings any nut products into the District to maintain this safe space for all.*
The District also features “Margaret’s Made for You,” one of our concepts where students with any special dietary need can go to receive a delicious and fresh meal made to order by one of our trained members of staff.
*Menu items may be made in separate facilities that process nuts.
*We maintain strict standards to ensure separation of allergens
