“Before we got the go ahead, the
plan was just a proposal and we

The renovation will help improve
the quality and variety of food
served to the Corps of Cadets and
also cut the cost of the family-style

plate-ready system to meet the stan
dards of the other dining facilities
on campus.
The f amily-style service consists of
a single selection of food placed on
the table by waiters, and the cost of
providing this service has risen
steadiiv oxer the past years. Dollar
sa\ s.
In fiscal year 1983-84, the dining
hall had a net loss of 8308,450 com
pared to a net gain of $522,993 for
Sbisa and $589,054 for the Com
mons.
The Corps pays (lie same hoard
rate as Commons and Sbisa students.
Dollar says, yet their serxice results
in a monetary loss and the cadets re
ceive far less meal satisfaction.
The reasons for the higher cost in
Duncan Dining Hall is the extra la
bor costs required to serve family-
style and the excessive food waste re
sulting from the inability to provide
food x ariety, he says.
Under the new system, 2,200 ca
dets can he fed in 10 minutes, says
Mof fat Adams, project manager and
chief architect.
The fast food lines will be like
those in Sbisa and Commons, Adams
says, and the Corps xvill have their
choice of such items as pizza, ham
burgers and sandxviches. The plate-
ready part of the project xvill give ca
dets a choice of at least two menu
items, which xvill already be on
plates, to pick up from carts, Adams
says.
“The Corps is already experi
menting xvith the plate-ready system
at breakfast,” he says. “And we’re
feeding about 1,350 cadets in eight
minutes.”
Adams says the construction on
the new project should begin in De
cember of 1986 when the cadets go
home for Christmas. The estimated
completion date is the following De
cember.
The options available for feeding
the Corps during the construction
remain flexible, Dollar says.
A committee of cadets, staff and
project managers met in June 1984
to discuss features that the new fa
cility should include, Adams says.
He says the Corps wants:
• A greater variety of food.
• To he settled as units at their
designated tables.
• Evening and morning forma
tions.
• Lunch hours from 10:15 a.m.
until 2:15 p.m. to accommodate the
cadets’ class schedules.
• One large dining room instead
of two.
• To he able to serve banquet
functions.
• A better public address system.
Adams says the new system xvill
probably meet all of these needs ex
cept perhaps the one large dining
area because of the circulation space
required for the plate-ready service.
