This glass pavilion addition to Chase Dining Hall creates a new dining destination. With a focus on inspiring students about their food and the science behind it, this 3,950 square foot addition provides a new venue that is designed to function as a teaching space, a flexible social space, and dining space. Sited atop a parking garage noted for its innovative green roof and cistern system, this addition is supported by only two existing columns. With an innovative cantilevered roof system, the lightweight glass building envelope exposes students to surrounding edible gardens and maximizes the sense of open space.
