At Lawrence, we partner with our food provider American Dining Creations to serve cooked-from-scratch foods using fresh and whole ingredients that are responsibly sourced, sometimes even from our own gardens. 

From an all-you-can-eat buffet to cozy café and a convenient grocery store, there’s a variety of nutritious and flavorful ways to fuel up. No matter your tastes and dietary needs, we strive to provide you with healthy options so you can keep shining.
