Cafeteria Remodeling

This series of photos shows the day by day progress of the remodeling of the MTC caferteria. These photos will be of more interest to those of you who are familiar the building down here. For those of you who are not, I will try to make the next blog more interesting. 

This whole project only took about three weeks from start to finish.This is part of a breezeway between the offices on the ground floor and the caferteriaWe used this area as the temporary cafeteria remodeling.The old tile floor was removered and replaced with new non-skid tile.

New conduit was laid in the floor to run the electrical lines to the ceramic heating and cooling tables.

Simone Pontirolli, food service manager and Vicente Martinez, building engineer check the plans.The trenches are filled with concrete.And the floor is prepared for the laying of the new tiles.The old steam tables were all removed.And the new floor emerged.There were a lot of little details that needed attention.New tables were assembled and brought in.The island in the middle of the cafeteria was removed.

The glass tops on these serving tables can be either hot or cold.  They use 1/4 of the energy of the old steam tables.Finally they opened it up for business on the 2nd of August, less that three weeks after they began.The pots of rice and beans on the serving table in the middle of the picture are a part of almost every lunch and dinner served in this cafeteria. A very satified customer!
