Ohio University revamps dining hall into The District

The new layout hosts a collection of five mini-restaurants that feature healthy options.

Design

The best before-and-after transformation idea

When Oklahoma State was looking to make better use of a very old cafeteria that had turned into a study and events room, barbecue was a natural choice.

Sometimes the enemy of a great idea is lack of space. These four intrepid operators carved out new facilities from dead space in their current footprint.

The Terrace at Oregon State University's Reser Stadium will make its debut this fall.

Drexel University’s Good Food Flats will feature a food lab, a commercial kitchen, a pop-up restaurant and an incubator to grow produce.

Remember when they used to call it institutional foodservice? There’s nothing that blasé about the designs of these four noncommercial facilities. Form isn’t sacrificed to function, and each of our picks of the years best delivers something more than just an inviting setting.

Penn State’s nutrition bar, located in the renovated Lasch Football building, serves up high-protein snacks.

A renovation often is an opportunity to re-energize a cafeteria space, but along with fresh designs and new equipment comes hindsight that can be applied.

Operators in states where earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes are commonplace are keeping natural disasters in mind when designing or renovating.

The fast-casual brand’s first C&U location is on the University of Kentucky’s Lexington campus.
