SADLER DINING CENTER
Syracuse University, New York

 

A 1950’s vintage dining center with attached residence hall has under gone a complete overhaul to change the impression that the existing facility was in fact basement space.  The perception of a low compressed space was altered by the removal of the existing ceiling exposing the long span steel joists and in conjunction with up lighting fixtures to emphasize the height of the interior.  

New restaurant, serving equipment and cabinetry was  integrated into the interior to completely reconfigure the food service layout.  New finishes including wood was selected and new furniture installed to reinforce the dynamic established by the new interior architecture

An expansion of the Dining Center was incorporated into the scope of the project to increase seating capacity, this, in conjunction with clearstory windows and replacement of all perimeter glazing with new energy efficient glass & glazing resulted in an a dramatic change from that of the space prior to renovation.
