Eastern’s spring break is finally here; that means some services and buildings on campus will be closed until students get back.

The residence halls and Greek court will close at 8 p.m. on Friday; these buildings will be open again by 1 p.m. on March 17.

The University Food Court in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union and all other dining centers will be closed from Saturday to March 18.

The Panther Shuttle will close service at 3 p.m. on Friday and resume on March 18.

According to Eastern’s website, “Residents of Thomas, Lincoln, Stevenson and Douglas only can pay a fee to stay during the Thanksgiving, winter or spring breaks as long as they receive prior approval.”
