In BU’s Union Court, two food vendors, Basho and Panda Express, reopened Monday. Alongside the reopenings, a new food concept, The Market, was unveiled Tuesday. The Market’s launch was accompanied by the closing of three other food options: Charles River Bread Co., Cheesology and Cranberry Farms.

Renovations to update the seating area, kitchen and several food concepts of Union Court on the first floor of the George Sherman Union began in December of 2019. Renovations will be complete by the fall 2020 semester, according to Colleen McGinty, executive director of construction services.
