Dining
Sharing meals is another opportunity you'll have at University of Houston-Clear Lake to make special connections with other students, faculty and staff. Located on the first floor of the Bayou Building, the Patio Café can be an extension of your classroom. It can be a place where you can meet new people, catch up with friends, have a good meal, and even get a little homework done.
You can choose from a variety of food options, including Starbucks, different sandwich options, and grill items. The Fresh Fork provides catering services to support your dining and event needs during and after business hours. To learn more about your menu options, visit Dine On Campus, operated by Chartwells.
