“We look forward to welcoming Compass Group to the USF community. They bring deep experience and a strong record of quality service in higher education, campus facilities management and athletics,” USF President Rhea Law said. “We also want to thank Aramark for their partnership with USF. We will continue to foster a positive relationship with them through this transition, and we will work to ensure minimal disruption to operations and dedicated team members who will be offered opportunities to stay in their roles.”
The facilities management team began the transition process on Dec. 1, 2024 but transitioning will continue well into 2025. It will be part of an exciting vision for building upon the university’s existing custodial, grounds, maintenance and minor project management programs, while providing team members with additional opportunities for growth and development. USF and Compass Group are committed to creating flavorful, nutritious foods that are prepared from scratch, using authentic ingredients.
All USF dining and all facilities team members will be given the opportunity to remain in their current roles with total compensation that is equal to or better than what they receive today. The Compass Group team is connecting with these dining and facilities team members, discussing opportunities to continue serving students, faculty and the entire USF community.
“Compass Group is thrilled for the opportunity to partner with USF, continuing to support the vision, mission and values of the institution through exceptional dining service and facilities management,” said Dennis Hogan, CEO Compass Education and Foodbuy. “As an organization that prides itself on creating rewarding opportunities for our great people, we are particularly excited to work alongside the dedicated dining and facilities team members to share how they might become integral members of the Compass team.”
To the students delight, USF also announced that favorites such as Chick-fil-A, Panera, Flip Kitchen, Subway, Starbucks, Panda Express, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Papa John’s, Blenz Bowls, and Naga Tea and Kahwa Coffee will remain.
