University of Missouri – Brady Commons

The Brady Commons project was a large-scale phased addition and renovation of the existing student center at the University of Missouri which included a new 21,000 SF foodservice facility.

The addition included several new self-branded food venues to serve as the primary retail outlet for this large campus. The phased construction and building configuration left most of the food venues as islands floating in a large expanse of seating. To improve efficiency, venues were paired to take advantage of shared storage and support spaces. This reduced their dependence on the main kitchen for support and limited the cross-dining room transport of food during service hours.

Backing up to the central kitchen with storage and warewashing areas is a coffee and ice cream shop where beans are roasted on-site and fresh-baked items are prepared in a display bakery.
