University of Wisconsin – Four Lakes Market

This project was the first phase of a multi-year effort designed to increase and improve on-campus housing and significantly improve the food service facilities in the Lakeshore area of campus. The 400-bed Dejope Hall includes three retail-like foodservice venues and a wide variety of seating options ranging from the main dining room with a stone fireplace and wall of glass overlooking the lake to the oval dining alcove lined with curved banquettes.

The main dining venue is the Four Lakes Market, a 39,200 GSF “marketplace” concept foodservice with seating for approximately 500 customers. The marketplace concepts include Great Greens salad bar, Buckingham Bakery, Buona Cucina Italian and pizza concept, Delicious made-to-order deli, Fired Up grill, 1849 traditional station, Global Kitchen international fare, and Maki-Mono Sushi & Noodles.

The Bean and Creamery coffee and ice cream shoppe greets visitors as they enter the building and features campus-made ice cream. Flamingo Run is a convenience store that offers beverages, groceries, nachos, hot pretzels, and other snacks in a hip retail setting.

The project also included a commissary for central production of sandwiches and salads for other dining locations, supporting storage areas, warewashing, and a kitchen which is supported by a central cook-chill production area in their Gordon Commons dining center.
