Schafer Court Dining
Richmond, Virginia
Project Description
The new Shafer Court Dining Center at Virginia Commonwealth University provides approximately 1,100 retail and resident dining seats in the center campus area of this urban university. Site constraints required that the main kitchen, which supports both the Shafer Court food operations as well as all campus catering events, be located on the ground floor with the main resident dining located on the second floor. The project was designed so that all food platforms on the second floor, including traditional grill, Mongolian BBQ, vegetarian and home-style stations, are self-sufficient restaurant concepts able to stand alone with minimal main kitchen support during peak service periods.
