Café on the Court Grand Opening

Monday, May 2
Café on the Court

You’ve heard the banging, been routed to and fro, and walked through clouds of garlic and ginger fumes in the hospital hallway. Your patience has been rewarded. Drs. John Stobo and Karen Sexton, members of the Morrison’s team and others celebrated the official grand opening and ribbon cutting of the new Café on the Court on Monday, May 2 at 9:15 a.m. The new cafeteria is stunning, and it offers an equally exciting new menu.

When Café on the Court re-opened, OJs closed for the second phase of this project. OJs will be renovated and upgraded, and Quizno’s and Chick-Fil-A outlets  will be introduced. Parts of the wall currently separating OJs from Café on the Court will be removed, allowing diners to pass freely from one area to the other.

During this second phase of construction, the Outakes Café Room, in Rm. 1.111 of the John Sealy Annex (across from OJs), will continue to offer a deli, “grab ‘n’ go” salads and pickup of online orders weekdays from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Showtime Cooking, which was being offered in the hospital main hallway near Children’s Hospital, will be discontinued.

Below are some images of the construction and a sneak peek at the new cafeteria…
 
Big changes are in store for Café o
n the Court. The old cafeteria, pictured above,  closed for  renovations Dec 3; the grand re-opening is set for Monday, May 2.

 
Several new food stations and a new way to display food are part  of the renovated cafeteria. The color scheme is fresh and bold.


This view looks over toward the seating area; the white wall at the rear of this photo is the wall that will be partially removed to allow access to OJs. Note the old carpet is gone.

Workers made steady progress in their floor-to-ceiling overhaul of Cafe on the Court. The first images in the set were taken on Dec. 6, the morning after the cafeteria closed, and them throughout the construction.
