With the installation of a Mongolian grill, the pizza department has grown substantially.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe renovations made to the dining hall were a much-needed improvement.\u201d Marah Russell, a student at UMPI, said in a statement. \u201cWe were left with extremely limited dining options when construction initially started. But with the addition of the Mongolian grill and updated salad bar, students seem a lot more content!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously established stations have been moved around too. The breakfast section is now all concentrated in one area instead of being spread out across the room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really enjoy the new setup of Kelly Commons,\u201d Cassie Morrell, a student at UMPI and an RA of Merriman Hall, said in a statement. \u201cThe quality of the food has improved significantly, and the design is very practical.
