Call Hall Dairy Bar reopened its doors Monday with a bigger, brighter area and the same unforgettable ice cream.

After a few weeks of construction, the dairy bar has acquired more room for seating, freezers and customers.

Renee Westgate, manager of the dairy bar, said a lot of people are not aware of the reopening, but she said more people will come later in the week after the word gets out.

Westgate said the new area is brighter and feels more open with a wall of windows letting more light into the building.

"It's a little strange because it is so big," she said.

With a new air conditioner and more room, Westgate said the newly constructed area is better for employees and customers.

"I think we'll have a lot more people," she said. "It's nice. We have room to sit. We have meat sales now, too."

Monday was Nikki Wright's first day of work in the dairy bar. Although she had never seen the old set-up, she said she loved the look of the new area.

"It was a great first impression," Wright, freshman in kinesiology, said. "Everybody has commented on it."

Katie Hensler, junior in communication sciences and disorders, has worked at the dairy bar since last semester and said the new set-up was strange but a good change.

"We just have a lot more room," she said. "Things are a lot more convenient."

Hensler said customers have responded positively to the building's change and have come in just to look at the renovated set-up.

Although the area is new and improved, Westgate said customers will find everything else back to normal.

"We're just kind of back in business," she said. "We're the same old Call Hall ice cream with the same old flavors."
