University of Nebraska - Lincoln Willa S. Cather Dining Complex

The Willa Cather Dining Complex is a 99,150 SF facility on the main campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with the capacity to seat 654 and serve 2,800 meals a day. Food service stations are designed around a market-place concept. The state-of-the-art dining facility hosts visitors, conferences, small meetings and large gatherings. Willa Cather Dining Complex also serves as the central administrative offices for University Housing. 

All spaces are equipped with audio/visual and staging equipment with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of room configurations. The east wall along 17th Street was designed to provide an art gallery feel with vertically inset LED lights along the upper portion of the wall to showcase displayed artwork.
