The “Egg”
Noelker and Hull Associates announces the completion of a unique new student dining and teaching venue at the world’s premier culinary college that will give the next generation of leading chefs a classroom like no other.
Appropriately named “The Egg,” the facility is a 28,000 square foot addition to the Culinary Institute of America’s Student Commons featuring a contemporary industrial design with lounge, dining, cooking, serving and marketplace spaces. The building provides indoor seating for 500 with seven different lounge areas enhanced by couches and armchairs, cocktail tables, a library with free book exchange, board games, piano and a fireplace. A multiuse space is also available for open mic nights, karaoke, comedy shows, cooking demonstrations and other events. Sleek and colorful furnishings take on the creature comforts of today’s on-the-go student with 50 device charging stations located throughout space.
The new dining venue also introduces two novel campus offerings: a live, edible plant and herb wall and an on-site microbrewery. The brewery will serve a dual purpose as both a classroom and production facility, thanks to a partnership with Brooklyn Brewery.
The Student Commons building is a sought after facility conveniently located near the College’s student housing. Originally constructed with a small but popular student café, the building’s addition takes advantage of the site located on top of a bluff overlooking the scenic Hudson River. The outdoor terrace focuses on views up and down the river and provides a stage for after-hours presentations and casual concerts.
Noelker and Hull enjoys a long-standing relationship with the Culinary Institute, having designed most campus facilities over the past 14 years, including Anton Plaza, the admissions building, the Student Housing Village, Marriott Pavilion, the Villas at the Culinary, and Bocuse restaurant.
