Serving up hospitality since 1916!
The Allenwood is open for lunch and dinner this spring 2024 semester.
Our students have the unique opportunity to manage the Allenwood. These students are enrolled in the two laboratory courses—HOSP 330 - Applications of Food Production and Service and HOSP 413 - Restaurant Food Production and Service—and they manage the Allenwood every semester.
These courses provide hands-on learning in:
- Food production techniques
- Safe food handling procedures
- Team building
- Communication
- Leadership skills
Location
The Allenwood is located on the ground floor of Ackerman Hall (the corner of Grant and Pratt streets):
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Ackerman Hall, Room 3
911 South Drive
Indiana, PA 15705
Our students also apply and develop managerial functions of planning, organizing, influencing, and controlling an operation.
The Allenwood is operated through two courses as part of the Hospitality Management curriculum. Hours of operation are limited based upon course scheduling and will change every semester. All lunches and dinners are open to the public.
