New Texas Tech Quiznos to Be Staffed by Autism Center Clients

Located in the school's Burkhart Center for Autism Education & Research, it will be managed by Texas Tech Hospitality Services.

The new Quiznos unit in the Transition Academy building of the Burkhart Center for Autism Education & Research on the Texas Tech University campus will be managed by the school's Hospitality Services Dept. but will be staffed almost entirely by Burkhart Center students, all of whom have disorders on the autism spectrum. The Transition Academy building, which recently celebrated its first anniversary, includes observation labs, a gym for fitness, an art room and a mock apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, all designed to help 18- to 30-year-olds on the autism spectrum who have graduated from high school learn living skills and prepare for jobs. The Quiznos in the building will accept dining plans and be the first Quiznos on campus to serve breakfast.
