RSH Architects and RSH Interiors worked with representatives of office of the physical plant, HR&IM, and Food Services to create new servery facilities and provide a seating area for 150 students and staff that accommodates several food presentation formats.

The new program required replacement of all existing food service components, except ventilation equipment, which was modified to respond to new air-flow and exhaust requirements. Wall and floor finishes were updated to reflect a neutral, yet finished appearance. Display casework, with warming and refrigeration components, was designed and specified as part of the servery improvements and contracted through a prime vendor.

The seating area carried through with cosmetic finish upgrades complementing the servery. New furnishings, offering several seating options replaced the heavy original seating. Concealed motorized drapery provides a visual screen when a full-service mode of presentation and delivery is desired. New equipment includes a high temperature gas fired pizza oven with stone hearth, a bar-b-que rotisserie, cappuccino machine, and demonstration grille. Thematic lighting infrastructure was provided to permit installation of proprietary venue equipment.
