An e-mail to Virginia Tech residents Tuesday announced new Saturday hours of operation for Hokie Grill.

The dining facility, which is typically open from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, has been operating from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Now, the facility will open and close one hour later on Saturdays, opening at noon and closing at 8 p.m.

Hokie Grill was closed on Saturdays and Sundays at the beginning of the 2008-2009 fall semester, but began operating on Saturdays in the middle of the semester due to high demand from students. Zc
