| The summer of 1992 saw several updates to the dining facilities at Mather Hall, including renovations to the dining room and serving stations. This same year the Bistro opened as a relaxed dining space following the renovation of the [[koeppel_student_center|Koeppel Center’s]] cafeteria as a collaborative project between Trinity and Marriott Dining Services. The Bistro was designed to be a more welcoming dining space quite different from the traditional cafeteria; upon its opening, the //Trinity Tripod// reported that the new Bistro was “a place with a restaurant atmosphere” complete with an elegant dining room: “The tables are now covered with gold, printed cloths, some have umbrellas spread above them. A small glass vase rests in the center of each table, holding the week's arrangement of fresh golden flowers garnished with dried wildflowers, Swedish holly and pampas grass.” The Bistro also introduced a carry-out option for students to avoid waiting in long lines, which fulfilled many students' hopes for a smoother dining experience. | The summer of 1992 saw several updates to the dining facilities at Mather Hall, including renovations to the dining room and serving stations.
