About Alfred State College Culinary Arts Building The Culinary Arts Center, which formerly served as the activities center and campus book store, now houses two kitchens, a cafeteria, a faculty dining room, a bakery lab, classrooms, and a meeting room. The cafeteria serves breakfast and lunch as well as break foods to students and can seat approximately 200. The kitchens which service these dining areas feature a variety of equipment found in most restaurants. The bakery also features a variety of equipment available in industrial bakeries.
Students prepare breakfast, lunch, and baked goods daily for the campus and local communities.
They also prepare food for special events and dinners. The building, constructed in 1969, has had several additions built to accommodate the growth in the program. A new 28 X 40-foot addition was completed in 1997 to accommodate growth in the culinary arts program.
