DESIGNING FOR TOMORROW
Campus dining has come a long way from mystery meat and meal cards—and so have we.

Thank you again for coming to speak with the Foodservice Facilities Design class at Cornell University’s Nolan School of Hotel Administration. It was incredibly helpful for the students to hear how you think through a project—from identifying priorities to weighing constraints and trade-offs. Your ability to break down complex decisions into practical, actionable steps really resonated with them. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us!
