Carmelita Spencer Foods Laboratory
This lab features up-to-date technology and a demonstration area where instructors and students can lead lessons that focus on our nutrition and dietetic degrees.
Students have access to both commercial and residential kitchen equipment, where they can learn and practice meal service, preparation and presentation in the eating laboratory and dining room.
The lab is also equipped with two monitors that are used for presentations and a video camera above the demonstration area that allows students to see a more detailed view.
