PREPARATION KITCHEN UNIQUE AREA WITHIN WTC.
While Chambers Construction is approximately one and one half months away from substantial completion of the WTC, there is a portion of the facility that awaits work by LCC's trades: the preparation kitchen. Originally, a portion of the western conference center included a plating kitchen from which food, prepared in the Center's kitchen, would be served. However, in the spring of 2001 the plating kitchen was changed to a full preparation kitchen and a student demonstration kitchen/classroom was introduced into the WTC plans. With these changes, students of the culinary and hospitality fields can experience first hand the reality of their prospective fields in conjunction with conference center activities. While contracted construction encompasses the costs associated with the instructional kitchen and classroom, fundraising is underway to cover construction and equipment costs associated with the preparation kitchen. The Culinary, Hospitality, and Food Service Advisory Committee is responsible for the fundraising and hopes to raise $450,000 by May 2002. To date, approximately 38% of the funds are accounted for through grants and pledges. LCC trades are scheduled to begin the first phase of work on the preparation kitchen this spring.
