Center Table at North Campus

As part of an ambitious plan to reinvigorate the University of Washington’s North Campus and rebuild their student life infrastructure, Center Table was envisioned as a central dining hub for five new and several existing student residence halls.

Campus planners and the university’s residential life team wanted to provide not only a chef-driven food service venue, but also a place of social gathering and student life programming for the diverse population of the precinct.

Nestled within newly curated outdoor spaces in a backdrop of old growth trees, the Center Table dining facility has become a North Campus hub that allows for the connection of students through a true merging of living, learning, and recreation. In designing dining, open food preparation, and crafted recreational spaces, the team sought to create a meaningful central destination that supports the new residence halls and campus-wide student life. The space is part of a complex multi-building construction project on a state-sponsored university campus. As such, contracting required competitive bidding of subtrades and extensive design documentation. Design details and furnishing and finishing specifications were required to meet stringent university standards, yet still provide a level of thoughtfulness and finesse appropriate for a world-class research institution. The 31,000-square-foot facility is part of a large three building complex, which required significant design and construction coordination. Six individually branded food “platforms” form the anchoring core of the food hall and provide students with a full range of menu options and dining experiences. Interspersed within these platforms are an array of social and seating areas which feature a palette composed of varying materiality texture, plentiful seating typologies, colorful graphic murals, and tall, view-framing windows. By creating a space that offers a range of dining experiences and that fosters a mixture of social interactions, Center Table has become a crucial part of the North Campus which sustains the student body both dietarily and socially.
