At Georgia Tech, students and faculty will have healthier dining options offered by Nectar, an Atlanta-based healthy lifestyle cafe. The new food options include vegan and gluten-free hot press sandwiches, salads, soups and smoothies.

Nectar at Georgia Tech is located at 315 Ferst Drive and the grand opening will be on April 19. There will also be a Nectar food truck on campus twice a week.

The sustainable cafe has partnered with local vendors to ensure that the meal options are healthier and their carbon footprint is small.
