• Description:
  Context: The site for the dining hall was located between two buildings and two roads, which limited the size of the building's footprint. The site's location among academic buildings meant that pedestrian traffic would be heavy during class changes. This also would affect deliveries since the trucks would be taking roads through campus to access the site. Objectives: Despite the small area of the building site, the final design accommodated the necessary spaces for dining and offices in three stories. Administrative controls were placed on deliveries so that they would take place during the mornings and evenings when pedestrian traffic was lower. On-site storage was limited, so deliveries of steel were made on an as-needed basis. The scope of the project included excavating one end of the site to the first floor level (due to the topography), install the caisson foundation system, erect the steel structure, and install the limestone façade.
