USF Lone Mountain Dining Commons
San Francisco, CALone Mountain Dining Commons represents a new model for institutional dining, where site selection, architectural design, interior design and graphics combine to create an approachable, flexible and vibrant destination for students, faculty and visitors.
A new one-story modern pavilion is tucked between existing historical educational buildings to take advantage of phenomenal views of the city while maintaining privacy for the adjacent residential hall. A covered walkway connecting the new pavilion to the renovated kitchen and dining areas creates a zone for protected outdoor seating, featuring a through-wall fireplace and overhead heat lamps to combat the often foggy and windy San Francisco climate.
The design includes four distinct food venues to accommodate the tastes of the diverse student population. A market for fresh produce, groceries and semi-prepared meals is also integrated with the facility.
It opened in the fall of 2020, the Lone Mountain Dining Commons provides students, faculty and visitors a much-needed place to get quality food and beverages, while connecting with their colleagues and the world around them.
