Bait Shop

Campus community members returned to a new look and new menu in the Bait Shop this fall, complete with a Starbucks counter.

Located in the Quad Center’s BOC (Bottom of the Center), the Bait Shop now features expanded and renovated dining and kitchen spaces. The upgrades were undertaken in partnership with Aramark, the University’s dining service provider.

The renovations also feature an accessible entrance to the Bookstore and accessible restrooms on the BOC level. Construction of an elevator is underway, and when it is completed, the Top of the Center (TOC) will also be fully accessible to those with mobility impairments.

These renovations mark the first phase of the Quad Center project. During future phases of the project, the building will receive a new roof and the TOC will be renovated to create a home for the new Impact Center.

The Impact Center will provide comprehensive career preparation for students from their first day on campus through graduation, including exploring and securing experiential learning and community partnership opportunities. This innovative student success initiative is supported by the $2.2 million Title III Strengthening Institutions grant Muskingum received in 2020 from the federal Department of Education.
