RISE+ROOTED
University of Montana
UM Campus Dining brought us the challenge of recreating the atmosphere of the Corner Store at The Lommasson Center. The tight budget and short construction window added to the complexities. The team envisioned a transformation from a “cafeteria” like setting to a more comfortable “lounge” environment.
Strategic lighting placement and programing were used to create warm zones suitable to study or relaxation. Flooring finishes transition from cool, porcelain tile to soft carpet, differentiating traffic and lounge areas. A hardwood stage is added to allow for events such as small presentations and musical performances. During the second phase we continued the refinement of the space into a store and food service area with a new coffee bar and pizza oven taking center stage.
