Athens, GA. - The University of Georgia's Snelling Dining Hall is in the running for Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine's "Facility Design Project of the Year" for 2002. Snelling was awarded the magazine's "Facility Design Project of the Month" for Sept. 2002; the monthly award places the facility in the running for the overall honor.
The article in FE&S reported that the Snelling renovation remedied the problem of students flowing in and out of the facility, upping the daily number served to 5,000 people from 3,000 prior to renovations.
"It is an honor for Food Services that this renovation project is under consideration for this award by judges of Food Service design. The success of this design is one of the many reasons why the Food Service program at the University of Georgia is recognized as one the best in the nation, "said Michael Floyd, head of Food Service Administration at UGA.
The April issue of FE&S will announce the winner of the annual award. The winning project team will attend the FE&S annual awards banquet in Chicago on April 21 and 22.
