Picture (25x23, 169 bytes)f you have been in the COPS building recently you may have noticed new railings in the hallway outside of the cafeteria. You may also have noticed that the cafeteria itself appears to be undergoing remodeling. What you have witnessed is the COPS Good Production Lab Remodeling Project. This project is being made possible through a minor project grant of $134,000 from the UW Systems. New state of the art will replace the original to prepare the students to meet the ever-changing demands of the workplace. The existing kitchen equipment was purchased when the building was constructed in 1971. There will no longer be direct visual access to the kitchen due to a freestanding wall which will shield kitchen activities. The serving line will originate at the west end of the serving counter allowing the line to form down the hall rather than through the cafeteria as is has in the past. The railings in the hallway will enclose two new dining areas. Each dining alcove will offer four tables and 16 chairs. The chrome based tables will sand covered tops and the chairs will be upholstered in Thalo green to match the railings. The carpet will coordinate with that which will be installed in the existing cafeteria. The existing cafeteria will be recarpeted and painted. Dr. Diane Libby, head of the School of Home Economics, announced that the cafeteria will remain closed until mid November with the possibility of opening prior to that date with a limited menu. That service would begin before the cafeteria opens and would be subject to expansion at a later date.
