                 Dining Hall          See: Dining Hall Pictures

​

The village would have about 5 dining halls configured as follows:

 

1.  One dining hall for every 3 Clusters.

 

2.  Serving 90 persons, a crowd small enough to remain on a personal basis.

 

3.  Each dining hall would prepare its own menu and meals, staffed by the Clusters it serves.

 

4.  Seating 50 persons for meals or 64 persons auditorium style.

      Early seating might be by online reservation only.

 

5.  Would probably serve daily dinner only.

 

6.  House a lounge / coffee house at one end.  Diners wishing to linger could move

      there freeing up their table.

 

7.  Could be used during the day for meetings, child care, etc.

 

8.  Walk-in freezer might have a movable wall so that during the seasons empty space

      would not be cooled.

 

9.  The kitchen would have separate air conditioning system and be able to

       run off electricity and gas. It would have generators if needed.

 

10.  Stove and sink on covered porch for steaming, grilling or baking outside.

 

11.  Menus would be posted online.  Residents could dine at other Dining Halls if they so desire.

 

12.  Some tables would fold into the wall making it easy for one person to clear the floor.

 

13.  Booths would be available for a more intimate setting.  They could be reserved online.

 

 14.  Have a mud room for pedestrians’ umbrellas and rain gear.
