East Carolina University Croatan Dining Hall
Scope
Construction of a two-story dining hall more than double the size of the former facility
Highlights
Two branded dining areas, serviced by Chick-fil-A Express and Chili’s Too, plus public and private dining areas
The first LEED® Silver certified building on the campus of East Carolina University with LED lighting, water cisterns in the courtyard, eco-friendly landscaping, and recycled bricks that were reclaimed from a local warehouse
Challenges
The site’s location in a congested section of the main campus, adjacent to the campus daycare facility, called for creativity. Plexiglas peep-holes installed in a secured, fenced area let curious children view the demolition and new construction from a safe distance
