Designed by Carpenter Sellers Del Gatto Architects, Hospitality Hall is a cutting-edge educational facility that offers students and faculty an avenue for professional growth. The hall offers computer labs, practice kitchens, a cafe, simulation labs, learning studios, specialty classrooms, and several collaborative spaces. Its multilayered exterior design mirrors the diversity of the academia and amenities housed within.

  

  

A grand glass entrance accentuated by a curtain of stacked aluminum tubes serves as the focal point of Hospitality Hall’s exterior design. The entrance’s pronounced vestibule construct adds dimension and depth, while the point-supported glass panels overhead add scale. The vestibule functions as a stylized transition into the main lobby, simulating a red-carpet arrival experience similar to that of high-profile social events on the Las Vegas Strip.

DRS Door Rails and CRL Pull Handles were utilized in the entrance to enhance the all-glass visuals. The door rails feature advanced glass clamping technology and robust stainless-steel construction, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. DRS Door Rails are also installed throughout Hospitality Hall’s interior to manifest and complement the entrance’s all-glass theme. Other CRL glazing systems used include Blumcraft® Panic Handles, Glass Wall Spider Fittings, and SPS Stacking Partition System.
