The Pat Brown cafe renovation was a complete overhaul of the outdated restaurant on the UC Berkeley campus. The existing 2,500 sq ft restaurant includes a foodservice kitchen area, seating and Peet’s Coffee service bar. The new interiors include a seating area that evokes a skate board ramp with multiple benches seating along a window wall. The new restaurant is now more inviting as well as functional, with improved lighting design, a digital TV menu, signage, floor treatment and the replacement of all counters. We also replaced all food service equipment, installed cold food storage and upgraded all electrical, lighting, plumbing, accessibility, life and safety. This project received LEED Gold Certification.
