Murray State University

The T’Room was original to the Curris Center student building, over 30 years old. Besides being outdated and unattractive, the servery didn’t allow for the variety and types of service in demand today.

Multiteria helped create a whole new dining area to provide a modern and engaging dining experience for the students. Paula Amols, Director of Dining Services & Racing Hospitality, had previously worked with Multiteria on a small project and was pleased with the results. Multiteria completed the renovation in two phases between 2012 and 2013, which is a common practice and something Multiteria can easily accommodate. The final result included:

• Two made-to-order salad stations with a separate counter for refrigerated salad dressings
• Deli station
• Hot food counter
• Beverage counters for sodas, coffee and more
• Made-to-order grill station with special cutouts for appliances and plates
• A pizza/pasta station with a wood-fired oven featuring mosaic tiles
• Four cashier modules with merchandising front shelves

The salad station serves three different greens with 18 different toppings, as well as five separate menu-based salads with various protein selections, offering plenty of healthy options for students. While each counter has a different look to provide a distinct identity, they all feature sleek curved fronts and counter tops. Amols helped choose custom images for the counter fronts, including scenes from the campus and their school’s mascot.
