What recent events and projects mean for food service in Radford
Past emergency
The New River flooded at Radford
Hurricane Helene's rain pushed the New River out of its banks at Radford in late September 2024, as Cardinal News documented in drone photos. River flooding can cut power and water to campus and city kitchens; an emergency kitchen trailer with its own equipment can keep student and patient meals going while systems are restored.Major construction
Campus food-service work
Radford University solicited bids in February 2025 to renovate the Chick-fil-A space in Hurlburt Hall, part of ongoing campus construction that also includes electrical and HVAC replacements in academic buildings. When a campus food outlet or dining room closes for construction, a mobile kitchen trailer and a dishwashing trailer can serve the meal plan nearby.Major renovation
Dalton Hall renovation funding
Virginia's 2026 budget lists about $52.3 million for renovating Dalton Hall at Radford University. Long renovations of student-life buildings are planned well in advance, so food service can line up a long-term kitchen trailer lease before the work starts.Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Radford
Statewide emergency operations are coordinated from the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike, North Chesterfield, VA 23235; locally, City of Radford emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries, which reach Radford by the I-81 corridor. We confirm the route, gate access, and placement area with your team before dispatch.
