The Center for Care & Discovery Food Hall renovation, a collaboration between DAAM and San Francisco-based Figure, consists of the redesign of a hospital lobby and food services space on the University of Chicago’s Medical Center campus. A series of terrazzo tile-clad curvilinear countertop and wainscotting elements wrap three distinct food retailers in a unifying gesture across the food hall space. White oak board-and-batten paneling brings rhythm, texture, and natural warmth to the space while a collection of planters interject greenery into an otherwise clinical environment.
