University of Utah Kahlert Village Dining
Salt Lake City, Utah
Kahlert Village is the University of Utah’s newest on-campus residential community. It is designed to promote collaborative learning and sustainable living experiences for first-year students. Three five-story wings are made up of themed communities: First-Year Honors, STEM Initiatives, Health & Wellness, and Community Engagement.
The Village’s main floor is a highly transparent open hub with a variety of social, classroom, and study spaces; the bustling 700-seat Urban Bytes dining facility is a major highlight. Urban Bytes features unique offerings and individual styles with eight distinct and identifiable zones. This design creates a vibrant and dynamic dining environment with a multitude of food choices. The zones are designed with custom graphics, branded architectural elements, and special details throughout.
A variety of seating and tables enables students to choose the space that works best for their needs. The spaces engage the student communities, particularly around nutrition and demonstration cooking, and are available to all on campus. The dining area connects to an active courtyard environment through its inviting and transparent design.
