Covance Cafeteria receives IIDA Award

MADISON, Wis. (5/22/2009) – Covance Cafeteria received a First Place Award for Hospitality Design from the International Interior Design Association, Wisconsin Chapter.

When visitors enter the space, a wide promenade features a tree motif in the terrazzo floor and acoustic panels on the ceiling. The food service area features buffets trimmed in maple and aluminum and highlighted by leaf cutouts on the ceiling and pendant fixtures.
