Scope Of Work
THE CHALLENGE
The University of Mississippi wanted a modern dining facility, as its existing facility were outdated. The University decided to renovate and expand its existing two story 48,000sf Johnson Common West facility, which was originally constructed in 1964.
THE RESULTS
The interior of the building has been completely renovated to create new “Market Place” Dining, which includes four individual fresh food concept restaurants and a central catering kitchen to serve the entire campus. The exterior of the building was completely transformed and modernized through the addition of a glass wall and Outdoor seating was created through the addition of a new balcony. The incorporation of the contemporary space into the historic campus was achieved using a tasteful representation of the university’s aesthetic, colors and signage. The facility now houses the main campus dining location, catering, and administrative offices.
