Exeter Health Resources, Northwest Wing Addition

Crabtree McGrath Associates, Inc. was retained to improve the kitchen and dining capabilities of Exeter Health Resources, an expanding institution with evolving requirements as a healthcare facility. The newly designed, back-of-house kitchen space immediately improved the walk-in cooler and dry goods storage capabilities, and provided a new cooking and food preparation space as well. The new kitchen boasts a room service cooking line allowing made-to-order meals to be prepared for just-in-time service.

Next, the modernized servery became a multi-station dining option with a madeto- order grill station as the main feature. Other point-of-service within the servery included the deli station, and a ready-made to-go station offering prepared sandwiches and salads for those in a rush. The dining area is adjacent to an outdoor patio space with an outdoor grilling area for use during the warmer months. The architect, JSA Architects, received the following awards for this project: AIA New Hampshire, Award for Excellence in Design and AIA Potomac Valley, Citation Award.
