Lights Coolers and Vents

The ceiling is all painted, the acoustic tiles are up and most of
the new lights are up!

The traditional florescent lights have been replaced with
LED lights.  These new light fixtures both last longer and
use much less energy!

The east wing looks good too...

To the right of the photographer is the serving line.  On the far side
side of the room are some offices and one of the new coolers is
in the foreground.

Looking down the hallway to the left of the cooler you can see
dry food storage on the right and way down at the end is the
outline of the door that opens to the ramp leading to the
staff dining hall.

The dining hall is to the left of the photographer.  This is take from the far west
corner of the kitchen and really shows how big the new kitchen is.

The serving line will run perpendicular to these new vents on the
far side of the room.

Out back is a huge new cooler.  Located right next to the loading dock,
this will make it very easy to unload cold goods from the truck and get them
right into cold storage.

Dining Hall Kitchen Walls Plumbing and More!

The iconic red roof is nearly finished.

Almost all of the plumbing is finished.

Most, if not all of the framing and walls are in.

It's difficult to get an idea of the size of this new

kitchen from any one photo because the room is 

divided by about 4 different walls.

This photo faces the camper dining hall on the

services end of the building.

The serving line will go along the far wall. 

As you can see the ceiling has been painted an 

off-white color.

These are stacks of acoustic tiles that will help

damper the noise caused by chatty eaters.
