Restaurant & Hospitality

About our Restaurant & Hospitality work

The Jenkins Group designs restaurants and bars where the dining room, the bar and the kitchen have to work together through a full service, often on tight downtown lots. In Park Ridge, Illinois the firm designed 42 Main, a new two-story, 10,600-square-foot restaurant with a basement and a roof terrace, taking it from a code study that set its construction type through the Park Ridge Appearance Commission, permit drawings and construction.

Nearby, the Pennyville Barcar expansion joined a bar to the neighboring Pennyville Station restaurant with a new structural opening and an accessible ramp, and reworked the bar room with folding storefront partitions that open it to the street. Restaurant projects bring their own code questions, from assembly occupancy and exits to sprinklers, kitchen exhaust and accessibility, and the firm coordinates the structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering that answers them. The same practice designs the food courts and food service areas in the firm's retail and military exchange projects.
