When Troy University planned its first new dining facility in over 40 years, they came to Falcon for their furniture needs. “Our goal was to build a facility that would rival a five star restaurant in construction and design, as well as the foodservice operation,” said Dr. Jim Bookout, Sr. Vice Chancellor for Finance and Business Affairs, who chaired the Project Design Committee. "Our goal was to design and build a dining facility that addresses contemporary diversity for a homogenous student population. The New Trojan Dining facility accomplished that because it will help shape our campus climate and the climate in turn will shape the sociocultural environment of the campus. “
Dr. Bookout advised, that the committee was focused on a premium high-end design and wanted furniture that would support this design concept, while meeting budget requirements and providing good quality products, built to last for years of service in this environment. He stated, “Falcon met the requirements. We felt Falcon’s products would enhance the facility and compliment the design, as well as provide a durable product. Falcon met our expectations.”
The 80,000 sq. ft. Trojan Dining facility seats over 1,000 students and includes five self-serve food service stations, as well as two retail restaurants. It features a combination of dining tables and chairs for a relaxed meal or meeting and study space, stand up tables and barstools sprinkled throughout for easy collaboration, and multiple areas incorporating custom booths and wallbenches providing cozy nooks for more private eating or study space. The design incorporates chairs and barstools which feature the durability of a metal frame and the warmth of wood seats and backs. The contemporary tables also feature a wood and cast iron combination for warmth and durability. The Exclusive Dining room, fashioned after a five star restaurant, features unique diamond box veneer table tops, with combination wood and cast iron bases, contemporary wood seating and custom booths, creating a high-end restaurant environment.
The Trojan Dining facility is not just for students and faculty. It is open to the public, keeping the University at the center of the Community.
