As part of the campus master plan, this new one-story cafeteria facility was designed to serve over 150 students with additional private dining for 60. Located adjacent to student housing and the FBI building, the cafeteria creates a modern, accessible hub for student life.
My role involved:
- Translating the program into a conceptual design package, including zoning, circulation flow, and service strategies
- Designing service areas such as a 3,500 sq ft commercial kitchen, loading dock, and dishwashing areas, alongside vendor spaces for brands.
- Laying out technical spaces such as mechanical, electrical, and janitorial rooms, in compliance with local building codes
- Supporting visualization and presentation materials for stakeholder and university board approvals
This project demonstrates my ability to manage complex food-service planning, technical coordination, and the architectural detailing required for large-scale institutional facilities.
