Swarthmore College’s Dining and Community Commons earned the FE&S 2026 Facility Design Project of the Year Award for transforming its original dining hall into a dynamic, purpose-driven campus hub that goes far beyond student dining.
Every cent matters to nonprofits, so when one opts to spend money on a foodservice renovation, it had best be money spent well. The approach to renovation by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana stood out for its high level of execution against its allocated budget. Because of that, the panel of independent judges convened by FE&S awarded the project an honorable mention in the magazine’s 2026 Facility Design Project of the Year competition.
Foodservice Equipment & Supplies named the Dining and Community Commons at Swarthmore College the recipient of its 2026 Facility Design Project of the Year Award.
Foodservice Equipment & Supplies named Banyan Dining Hall at Brigham Young University – Hawaii the recipient of its 2025 Facility Design Project of the Year Award.
Foodservice Equipment & Supplies named the Tony & Libba Rane Culinary Science Center at Auburn University the recipient of its 2024 Facility Design Project of the Year Award.
This transformational project was a response to “inspire engagement we can only begin to imagine.”
