Document Description
The proposed project would replace an existing main kitchen with a new main kitchen and would make improvements to a number of existing satellite kitchens throughout the hospital. A cook/chill system would be employed at the new main kitchen to increase efficiency with fewer personnel and to provide greater shelf life without diminishing the taste or quality of the food. The beneficiaries of the project would be the state and the patients that reside at the hospital. A qualified architectural historian evaluated the buildings and concluded that the proposed project would not have a significant impact on the character of the nearby historical district, and the State Historic Preservation Officer, concurred.
