University of California at Irvine - Biological Science Food Service Building

Irvine, California

This one story food service facility is located at a significant grade change, such that the roof functions as a paved terrace extension for the higher elevation level.  A square column motif extends beyond the enclosed structure to dilineate dining space from circulation areas.  The structural steel frame work for the building is completely exposed and complements the exposed steel grill work in the facades.
