Our firm worked in conjunction with Marshall University, Sodexo Food Services, and Starbuck’s Coffee to create an interior community environment for the students and faculty. This was a multiple stage retail and food service project to allow each renovated area to not impact the function of the others while under construction. The end product seamlessly ties together the retail themes to create an inviting space to dine, converse, or study. The Starbucks was completed in 2009 with a $350,000 budget. The cafeteria and dining space was completed in 2010 with an $800,000 budget.
