Renovation of a student lounge and dining hall well known for having the best ocean view on campus. The expansion replaced a 26-year-old existing servery style restaurant. The existing exterior envelope was extended to capture more interior space. The view to the ocean was carefully considered from all angles. 

     The program requirement was to provide the first Kosher / Halal restaurant for the University of California system and bring the community together in new ways. The kitchens are a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Muslim Student Association, the Union of Jewish Students and the eponymous college. The dining area has three stations with servers rotating a kosher halal menu of Asia, Indonesian, Middle Eastern, North African, Cajun and other cuisines as well as a coffee / gelato bar.
