University of Florida students returned from winter break to a
large 6,600 sq. ft. temporary kitchen and dining structure built in
one of the university’s lots. This structure, “The Eatery” will
serve students until UFL Broward Hall renovations are completed in
the fall of 2024.
Mobile Kitchen Solutions, a division of Rental Solutions and
Events based in Eldersburg, MD, delivered and constructed one of
their signature temporary structures in December during winter
break for the client at University of Florida. The facility will
provide all food, cooking, prep, storage, serving, and dining while
UFL renovates one of their eateries. The team at RSE collaborated
with their clients months in advance planning out deliverables and
timeframes, providing key equipment specifications, performing
onsite surveying, and conducting weekly status calls. “We threw
every challenge imaginable at the team—from the start of our
process until our opening,” stated Mr. Muller, Director of F&B
in a follow up email to MKS. “The team was not only extremely
professional, but they were a pleasure to work with.”
The climate-controlled structure is divided into two main areas
by an interior walk-through divider. Double glass doors provide
entry into the dining and buffet area. This area includes glass
walls, décor, signage, tables, chairs, and buffet stations. Behind
the buffets, another entrance leads into a fully operational
full-service kitchen. The kitchen consists of several smaller
sections that include prep and storage operations, a full-service
conveyor dishwasher, and sinks for dry storage racking. Along one
of the walls, RSE installed a 40-ft. containerized temporary
kitchen POD to facilitate all the gas cooking equipment, including
double stack ovens, tilt skillets and steamers. This unit also
provides lighting, fire suppression systems, and exhaust/make up
air hoods, all of which meet the codes necessary for an indoor
cooking facility. The kitchen area also features over 600 sq. ft.
of temporary refrigeration and freezer space built into the wall of
the structure. This allows personnel to access the storage without
having to go outside.
MKS provided all the necessary temporary cabling, distribution
boxes, interior plumbing and HVAC—all under one roof with a raised
level washable floor with steps/ramps at each entrance.
Lastly, MKS provided two upscale standard restroom trailers and
one ADA complaint restroom trailer.
Since the move into the new temporary dining facility on January
5, UFL has been able to continue to feed their students with no
interruption. Both the staff and the students have offered positive
feedback and will call this facility their dining home for the
remainder of the year.
Mr. Lipson, VP of Operations, noted to MKS, “Through all of
this, from day one, you have been responsive, patient,
knowledgeable, and very flexible.”
