West End Dining Renovations

The West End Dining Renovation project will focus on the modernization of the existing dining hall to better support current operational needs, improve food safety, and enhance the student dining experience, while maintaining existing seating capacity and allowing dining operations to remain open during the academic year through a phased approach. The project involves a limited reconfiguration of the kitchen and back-of-house spaces to provide additional production areas, improve operational efficiency, and support modern food service workflows. As part of the planning effort, the team will evaluate the potential relocation of allergen food preparation to a separate venue or a dedicated preparation kitchen to enhance food safety. Existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will be selectively verified and coordinated to accommodate programmatic and equipment changes, without anticipating a full replacement of building systems. Targeted modifications to the building automation and controls systems may also be implemented where necessary to support the renovated areas. In addition, the dining and service areas will be reconfigured to maintain the current seating capacity while improving circulation and functionality during peak dining periods. The project will also explore the inclusion of a retail dining component, such as a sandwich line, that is separated from the main dining area and capable of operating for extended hours.
