Mogavero was the architect for the Design Build Team with Valley Commercial Contractors to complete bridging documents for this extensive renovation, including the conversion of the dining commons from a traditional cafeteria style facility to contemporary, themed platform dining established in the Segundo and Tercero dining commons.

Cuarto Commons has become a campus focal point, showcasing sustainable design and food service operations that will be implemented at other campus locations.

The dining commons embraces an open “public market” design with final food preparation viewable to patrons, and includes five food distribution areas: a granary and bakery, a grill for specialty hot foods, a pizza and pasta station, a soup and salad bar, and a market station for self serve and bistro-style entrees.

The first floor has an open feeling, with daylight enlivening the the main dining area through a large curved light well which penetrates the second floor, combined with the curved path through the various food counters,  creating a contemporary vibe and smooth flow throughout the commons.

The second floor has traditional restaurant seating, with banquettes, separate, skylit quiet rooms, and lounge-style seating along with larger tables that allow for more intimate dining experiences.  A balcony on the second floor allows for al fresco dining.  Cuarto Commons has become a campus focal point, showcasing sustainable design and food service operations that will be implemented at other campus locations.
