Kirksey was selected to design a new 42,000-sf dining hall to replace one constructed in 1928. Located adjacent to the existing student center, this building creates a new heart for the campus. This modern facility provides dining for more than 700 students in an environment in line with today's restaurants and entertainment centers. The dining facility includes an extended hour café/coffee shop, private dining halls seating 100 and 50, executive dining room, convenience store and required kitchen, concept and storage areas.
