Crews began working in July on an expansion of the Dietary department, as well as renovations to accommodate new offices. This project will occur in four phases, which will allow for the kitchen to be fully operational during the construction process. The total project is scheduled to last 320 days. ● Phase 1 will include new Human Resources offices, an expanded dining area, new serving and cashier areas, and a new walk-in cooler and freezer. ● Phase 2 includes demolition of the current serving area to create a new dishwashing room, along with removing the existing walk-in cooler and freezer, turning that area into more dry storage and food preparation areas. ● Phase 3 includes removing the current dishwashing area and finishing the new serving area. ● Phase 4 includes moving the salad bar to the new serving area and finishing the passthrough to the serving area. Highlights of the project ● Larger walk-in cooler and freezer. ● Updated and upgraded food service equipment. ● More food preparation space and storage. ● The ability to offer more food options for staff and visitors. ● More grab-and-go options and space for vending for staff who work nights and weekends. ● Expanded dining room. ● Double-sided salad bar to improve serving line flow. ● Relocation of Human Resources offices to the first floor.
