Cedarville University has recently completed a 15,000-sf campus dining addition to its Centennial Library that provides the school’s over 4,000 students and faculty space for dining, studying, and gathering.
The new dining addition overlooks Cedar Lake and features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the lake and the northern campus buildings. An industrial interior is paired with brightly colored seating and decor to create an open and flexible space for a variety of campus uses and student gatherings of all sizes.
The project also includes a 300-seat Chick-fil-A that offers a spacious and comfortable place to study and collaborate. The Chick-fil-A also provides an option for campus visitors during special events. Tossed: Salads and Pizza, provides a second dining option for students and faculty.
The project was completed in fall of 2020 at a cost of $7 million.
