Work entailed a complete
remodeling of the 40 year old campus student brew pub located on the
ground floor of the concrete CAL ASUC Student Union Building, designed
by Vernon DeMars. Years of remodelings had
covered the old concrete wall finishes throughout.
New and old materials overlap
each other. The banquettes overlap the rough board-formed
concrete interior wall. The banquettes themselves jog up and down
while the concrete moves in and out.
New sliding glass doors allow patrons to spill out onto
Sproul Plaza on warm days.
