Three Row house kitchens are set to open for business at 10 a.m. on Friday after renovations and county inspections delayed their openings last week.

Approximately 150 students and their chefs in Bob, Casa Italiana and Storey could not use stoves, toasters, washers or ovens and kitchen managers could not stock the open kitchens when students began arriving last Thursday, said Cristiana Giannini ‘11, kitchen manager at Casa Italiana.

Instead, chefs cooked meals in neighboring residences and transported them by golf cart, and students took up additional hashing duties to cover gaps in cleaning equipment.

“Everyone was pretty patient and they all pitched in,” Giannini said. “Everyone’s been really understanding because it’s construction so they know there’s going to be delays. That’s just how it is.”

Affected students on Thursday got $10 in Cardinal Dollars, which are set to expire today.

“In an attempt to lessen the impact of the delay, we wanted to provide students with some options around breakfast in particular, as often students make use of the open kitchen for that purpose,” said Nate Boswell, associate dean of Residential Education.
