NCCU's cafeteria finally reopens

After two years and $13 million in renovations, N.C. Central University's campus dining hall has reopened.

The new W.G. Pearson Cafeteria seats more than 1,200 and includes features like plasma televisions and a cyber-cafe.

It houses a convenience store and the university's ticket office.

It was a long time coming. Even the temporary cafeteria NCCU used during construction was saddled with delays and cost overruns.

The university will hold a brief ceremony Tuesday at 1 p.m. welcoming the cafeteria back to campus.

It is located on Lawson Street.
