University of Missouri – Dobbs Hall

This 600-seat newly constructed resident dining complex is adjacent to a residence hall and near the university’s athletic facilities and Greek Town of sororities and fraternities. The Restaurants at Southwest were designed to be the gathering space for the entire campus residential neighborhood.

The facility includes six standalone restaurant-style internally branded concepts. Each concept operates as its own independent micro-concept, but the facility shares common receiving, storage, hot and cold preparation spaces, and warewashing. Each storefront has a culinary-forward menu and retail branding, giving each concept a high-end restaurant look and feel, while also providing students with affordable and nutritious.

Dobbs Hall was also designed to provide maximum flexibility for the future, allowing the ability to switch from a retail-inspired dining operation to an all-you-care-to-eat program. Concepts are adaptable to adjust to changing menu trends. To accommodate large groups and special events, the dining room can open in sections based on daypart.
