Café Servery
Rogers Hall Café Servery Remodeled
Dec. 2010 - Jan. 2011
Coinciding with the NYU-Poly Winter Break, Lackmann Culinary Services began renovating the café servery in Rogers Hall on Dec. 27, 2010.
The extensive refurbishment, the cost of which Lackmann covered, included enhanced food counters, upgraded refrigeration units, new flooring and contemporary design and materials consistent with the previously remodeled café dining area.
Completed in just over a month, the renovation resulted in a more efficient, attractive servery with improved food service and new offerings that better meet the dining needs of the NYU-Poly community.

Specifically, what improvements were made in the recent renovation of the café servery?
The goals of the renovation were to update the look and feel of the servery while enhancing its operation. Grimshaw Architects, designers of Project 2010, worked with Lackmann on a design that mirrored the aesthetic tone of the café dining area, which had been renovated months earlier. Cool gray floor tiles, new counter surfaces and sunny yellow paint accents give the space a new look and contemporary feel. While new refrigeration units installed make the food offerings more visible and accessible, along with a streamlined breakfast bar/salad bar that conserves floor space and minimizes congestion during peak times.
