DESCRIPTION: 

Marist University’s new outdoor dining destination, The Yard, was completed just in time for the Fall 2026 semester.

This 8,000-square-foot courtyard was transformed from an unused lawn into a dynamic, welcoming destination for the campus community to connect, socialize, and relax. Whether grabbing a seat in a cozy Adirondack chair around a fire pit, enjoying a meal tableside, or taking in the scenic views of campus, The Yard is the ultimate campus destination for all.
