The Food Service area should include a Social/Dining Commons, with direct adjacency to the school's Servery and Kitchen. Food preparation areas will need to be immediately adjacent to each of the designated food stations for easy stocking of food and drink items. Careful consideration should be given to the interior design to create an inviting dining facility that encourages students to use the space for not just eating but for collaboration and social interaction as well. An immediate connection to the outdoor central quad is desired to allow students the option to eat and congregate at the various social hubs now created or being envisioned for the campus.
