The Four Winds Dining Hall seats 1,500 students and includes one of
the largest commercial kitchens in the Southeast. The floor
plan form is dictated by the logical flow of student traffic through
the serving and dining areas. The dining experience is based
on a food court concept that provides a variety of meal choices,
from hot cooked meals to salad bars, cereal bars, deli and grill
items. There are 14 separate food bars with drink counters
located in the dining area to ease congestion.
There is a small private dining area
for executives and vip guests on the second floor that overlooks the
main dining room and a staff dining room is adjacent to the main
dining room.
The Dining Hall
presents a bright, open, inviting atmosphere for the students by
incorporating skylights, exposed trusses, exposed ductwork and large
colorful flower banners - based on food choices and environment, the
Four Winds Dining Hall has moved away from the standard
institutional cafeteria concept.
