Foodservice Equipment & Supplies named Peterson Dining Hall at Camp Southern Ground the recipient of its 2020 Facility Design Project of the Year Award.
FE&S will recognize the Jefferson Marketplace design team for its efforts during the magazine’s 2020 Dealer of the Year and All Industry Awards Gala, which will take place May 16 at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.
“This is one of those instances where the whole is significantly greater than the sum of its parts,” says Joseph Carbonara, FE&S’ editorial director. “Peterson Dining Hall combines design excellence with a thoughtfully detailed equipment package to help create a carefully curated foodservice experience that proves to be a game changer to support those participating in the programming at Camp Southern Ground.”
In addition, FE&S’ judges recognized the efforts of the team from Montana State University’s Rendezvous Dining Pavilion with an honorable mention in this year’s competition. “This is another best-in-class foodservice design project,” Carbonara notes, because it features great flow of food from dock to dining, innovative placement of food stations and strong sustainability attributes including the elimination of single-use plastic items. There’s plenty the industry can learn from the work done on Montana State’s Rendezvous Dining Pavilion.”
