With construction having been completed in 2024, the SMA/NAC team, along with food service consultant Bakergroup, provided the University of Montana with a a facility that would match the food being served.
Grub with the Griz
As a new hub for campus life, the Dining Hall has found its place on picturesque Ryman Mall, next to the Grizzly statue and within view of the historic UM Oval.
The design is oriented to capitalize on views of Mount Sentinel and the "M", with outdoor seating offered on a second-level deck as well as surrounding a two-sided indoor-outdoor fireplace at ground level.
Centrally located along UM's residence life corridor, the facility enhances student life for recruitment and retention and reinforces UM's unique culture and pride.
