Key Highlights

  • Serves as the central hub for student dining and social interaction on Liberty University's campus
  • Features 28 diverse food service stations to cater to a variety of student tastes and dietary needs.

As the primary dining facility on Liberty University's Lynchburg, Virginia, campus, this state-of-the-art servery is designed to serve the entire student population. While accommodating such a large capacity, the building’s scale is thoughtfully broken down into human-scale proportions. The main level features an open dining area alongside 28 food service stations. The lower level provides additional student seating, along with the university’s catering facility and a bakery., At the heart of the design is “The Great Hall,” a light-filled dining space with soaring vaulted ceilings.
