The Vista Grande Dining Pavilion is nestled into the hillside on the eastern side of the campus where the student housing is located. Concrete masonry units (CMUs) and brick veneer were used to compliment the permanence and architectural styles of the existing buildings surrounding the dining pavilion. Retaining walls and planters utilize CMUs for a strong durable base to the building from street level and as it steps up the hillside.
LEED® Gold certified in July of 2020 and opening in September of 2020 during the peak of the pandemic, it was critical to provide a building for students where they felt safe and clean while embodying strategies of health and wellness.
