Located
on two main student circulation pathways and adjacent to the
Union Court, the bridge area, joining the two main sections
of the student union appears to be the optimum choice for the
new $3.5 million dollar food court facility. This connecting
link would serve as a two story element to unite the bridge
lounge and Student Activities with the food court activities.
Kitchen and service facilities will be newly constructed and
located on grade level or within the existing kitchens from
a former McDonald’s facility or the university restaurant,
The existing Rathskellar would be incorporated into the new
program. Vehicular traffic to the Union would be rerouted and
a new terrace area for open air dining would be incorporated
into the quad area facing the Booth Library.
