Challenge
The CF Chinook Centre food court was a 30,000 square foot space that was last renovated in 2000. Benoy had the challenge to make the spacious hall more efficient while offering a sleek modern design and inviting space for shoppers to gather.
Solution
The overall look was modernized with all new custom furniture including curved white oak and glass mosaic banquettes which divide and define the space, white porcelain Italian tile, monolithic quartz communal bar counters with hot-rolled steel framework to give the white space a touch of an industrial feel.
Result
The new dining hall seats 835 and features 20 dining options for Chinook Centre. The renovations included improved circulation, added connectivity to the C‑Train, more food offerings, 85 more seats, refurbished original mid-century lighting fixtures, modernized sorting stations including organic waste disposal, as well as a newly accessible outdoor patio.
