MCCC WEST WINDSOR CAMPUS CULINARY/HOSPITALITY LAB
The College’s culinary program has seen extensive growth not only by students, but the community as well. To that end SAG was commissioned to design a new flexible teaching kitchen. The renovated space was developed by reducing the size of an adjacent underutilized classroom space. The lab consists of new kitchen equipment for a full production kitchen, preparation area, laundry area, custom teaching station, moveable student tables to allow for different room configurations, and technology that will allow for cooking demonstrations to be broadcasted throughout campus and the community. Additionally a glass wall will be designed for the project that allows separation from the adjacent dining/classroom space. When additional room is required the glass door folds into the wall to allow for larger seating capacity for demonstrations. Further all finishes in the dining/classroom area were upgraded and the existing demonstration kitchen, opposite the new kitchen, had new storefront windows implemented to allow students a better view into the kitchen area, along with a new epoxy resin floor being installed.

MCCC KERNEY CAMPUS CULINARY/HOSPITALITY LAB
Creative enclosure of an existing courtyard allowed a creation of a new high-bay interior dining area, newly expanded kitchen and the relocation and expansion of the cafe bar.

Inside the building, the existing seating area was more than doubled to 200 in order to accommodate the increasing demand for the culinary arts at the College. As the quality and breadth of the teaching kitchen developed over the years, so did the interest in students and faculty alike grow for partaking of the culinary creations of the program.

The interior of the building was designed with high end finishes in order to blend in and compliment the new lobby addition recently completed for the campus.
