While Bradley students were home for the summer, the dining area in Geisert Hall was remodeled.
The redesigned cafeteria allows for more food stations.
“[The added stations] help with the traffic flow in the serving area,” director of dining services Gayle Hanson said.
In addition to the new dining area, a double stack oven was added to the kitchen.
According to Hanson, the scatter system reduces consumer waste by allowing students to choose from multiple stations as many times as they would like.
“The students and the university are committed to reducing waste on campus and the straight line buffets created an environment of piling plates and then wasting food taken but not eaten,” Hanson said.
Bradley University Finance, Facilities and Dining Services collaborated with Lontai Design to get the work done. The team had some time constraints to consider with the summer construction.
“We had to be prepared to be open for the summer orientations and camps,” Hanson said.
