After the success of Dlush Rock Church that opened last year, the innovative retail chain known for their hand-crafted drinks chose to collaborate again with architectural design firm Colkitt&Co on another location at UCSD. This time, Dlush is offering beverages and beyond for hungry students buzzing around the Price Student Center.

A former storage closet, the team transformed the 1,840 square foot space into a vibrant, yet casually posh dining venue. Eager to translate the Dlush brand to appeal to a student and faculty population of 38,000, the design encourages guests to linger longer with creative features such as power integrated into the seating, tiered social lounge areas that ‘pool’ students together and social media walls.
