Students at one of the nation’s largest community colleges are enjoying “Top Flight” dining choices and an enhanced campus life. J&B, the college’s food service operator, has created a spectacular 12,000-square-foot food court rivaling that of many leading regional malls with a great selection of food choices.
 
 For over 20,000 students and about 2,000 faculty and staff at Nassau Community College (“NCC”), there’s no reason to leave campus at meal or snack time with the great line-up of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut Express, Nathan’s Famous, Pasta Pasta, J&B Salad Selects or a special meal from J&B Deli Market. For the student on the run there is an incredible “Grab & Go” section in the Food Court that offers a great selection of food choices. And on campus, Treat Street in the "B Cluster" or Treat Street 2 in the "V" Building offers plenty of snacks and other convenience store items. For the coffee lover, Top Flight Food Court also offers delicious “We Proudly Brew Fresh Ground Coffee made to order".
 
 The $2 million renovation to NCC’s CCB Building includes a 400-seat food court constructed for students, staff and their guests to enjoy. Each food selection has its own counter and most offer full menus. In addition, Top Flight Food Court offers a full catering menu for special events and occasions.
 
 The dining area is named Top Flight Food Court, a reference to the college’s location on the grounds of the former Mitchell Field, an air base that served as one of the nation’s early centers of aviation. In 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off nearby on his historical cross-Atlantic flight, an event that today is celebrated at the adjacent Cradle of Aviation Museum. To create a strong link with the student body, J&B designed the food court with an “Extreme Sport” motif and art exhibit, complete with artwork and paraphernalia of sports such as snowboarding, hang gliding, skydiving, windsurfing and others. Mixed in are various aviation items, ranging from vintage airplanes that “fly” from the ceiling to enlarged photographs of the famous “Blue Angels.”
