Texas Tech University - Sam's Place

Lubbock, Texas

Sam’s Place is a 6,800 square-foot facility offering students an option for snacks and meals in between meal periods. Designed in a modern, coffee-house style, Sam’s offers students lounge, booth, and bistro seating, as well as grab-n-go choices. Functions include a full-service kitchen with serving lines, a walk-in cooler and freezer, and prep areas.

The public spaces include the cafeteria space, Internet cafe, coffee bar, and a convenience store area, as well as an outdoor seating area. BOKA Powell coordinated with Texas Tech Hospitality Services to ensure that Sam’s Place met their needs and provided a seamless transition between the contracted equipment and various owner-provided equipment.
