Investigators say the fire was likely caused by an arsonist.
The eateries, which serve about 2,500 customers a day, will remain closed indefinitely, said Ralph Nakamoto, university food service director. The rest of the Campus Center, which was full of smoke this morning, could reopen as early as tomorrow, officials said. The fires in the kitchen started in a dry storage area and a conveyor-style dishwasher. Fire investigators have preliminarily ruled the fire as arson, said university spokesman Jim Manke. Laboratory technicians will take samples to determine if an accelerant was used.
