Currently most college campuses are dishing out problem after problem with food service and heath related issues. “Numerous studies have shown that college students often have poor eating habits. Students tend to eat fewer fruits and vegetables on a daily basis and report high intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods. According to the American College Health Asso-ciation (2006), a 2004 study revealed that only 7.3% of students ate five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily (Deshpande 2009).

The transition of eating habits is often drastically changed from before col-lege life into student’s first year and could possibly continue throughout a lifetime. Research has shown that the most important factors predicting food selection among adults are: taste, cost, nutrition, convenience, pleasure, and weight control, in that order (Glanz, Basil, Maibach, Goldberg, & Snyder 1998).

Before college life most food consump-tion decisions are pre-decided, but the independence of being able to choose when to eat, and in return when not to eat, can be overwhelming to the new student. Poor eating behavior is not something to be ignored especially in early stages of independent life.

There is a difference in the way men and women are triggered by food among college students, for men (who are usu-ally consuming for meats and protein) hunger and taste, budget, health, friends and media were equally displayed but more women group cues (friends and media) influenced more than half of the students tested, ultimately proving that men and women are intrigued by different factors when consuming foods (Horacek & Betts 1998). Taste, time sufficiency, convenience, and budget influenced students’ eating habits in that order. These influences seem to looked at as more of barriers rather than opportunities.

From personal experience, time, ac-cess, and budget are three major areas where college students are constantly lacking abundance. Stress and low self esteem have also been shown to be outcomes of unhealthy food intake behavior. Meal plans have been shown to ultimately guide students into healthier options if the school has set that goal. Fortunately, Virginia Commonwealth University is using a meal plan designed around blocks for all students.

It is in agreeance amongst almost all sources that unhealthy prevention for newly independent college students is needed. And what a better place that for one of the Foodie capitols in the world to take advantage of that.

In the past Richmond, Virginia is most commonly known for its historical context with the Civil War, being the Capital of the Confederacy. With it’s major war generals in large bronze statues lining Monument Avenue, and Hollywood Cemetery which holds many passed soldiers of the war, The city holds pride in it’s heritage. But lately, Richmond has seemed to be gaining a new recognition, food.

The city is home to +200,000 residents with over a million in the surrounding areas, the city has become a “hotbed of entrepreneurial success” while also host-ing 6 Fortune 500 companies and 3 universities (Andrews). With a boiling creative community and a driving food fanatic scene (food-world first adopters), Richmond has made it’s way to being named one of “8 Under-the-Radar Foodie Cities” on the globe by U.S. News & Travel, competing with areas like Bologna, Italy and Hong Kong.With well-renowned chefs like

Peter Chang and Ed Vasaio, the competition is hot but only growing with lovely restaurants like Pasture, on Grace and 5th street, or like the newly renovated Jewish Diner, Pearly’s, just down the street. From artisan burger joints to neighborhood restaurants serving Afghani, Asian-fusion and Pan-African cuisines to all-American farm-to-table establishments that are as original—and as good—as anything in New York or downtown L.A.,” (Andrews).

No matter what kind of foodie fix you might be craving for, you can find it in this city.“I use as many local ingre-dients I can get my hands on” says Walter Bundy, executive chef at Le-maire in the historic Jefferson Hotel. “Virginia is a terrific place for food,” says Bundy. “We embrace what’s around us, and we have so much at our fingertips” (Andrews). The mixture of entrepreneurial food

services and fresh and local resources is one to go hand in hand. It becomes almost impossible to read anything about this city without hearing a mention of it’s budding creativity and contemporary twists on down home cooking. Nearly any travel magazine will tell you to visit The Roosevelt, Dutch & Co. and Rappahannock or any given restaurant for that matter for the best and most tasteful Richmond experience.

Currently the local market platform has “hit a wall.” Many know that it is healthier to eat organic rather than processed food but do not consider it part of their lifestyle. There are the early adopters of the local movement who consider it part of their lives but not much progress has been seen from the markets who supply them. Access, knowledge and the community engagement are the most beneficial tasks to take on in order to reach the next level of the local move-ment. VCU is a college campus located in the heart of Richmond that consists of over 30,000 young and diverse students. Lack of knowledge to live a healthy lifestlye, both internally and within the community is important. The students, due to cost constraints and convenience, are often forced to consume processed food that has traveled hundreds, some-times thousands of miles away, at VCU’s two main dining halls. The student body is craving for new options.

The campus of VCU is also conveniently placed the middle of one of the most nationally recognized food enriched cities. According to Huffington Post, Richmond is on the rise of being a global food lover’s destination. Considering VCU’s major presence in the city, they seem to have an unsatisfying relationship with the culture that surrounds it. How do we create an atmosphere that is positively effecting our local economy and students’ lifestyles? I believe it’s by mixing the student life and local culture into one. The Cary Street Gym will allow students to have immediate access to a market filled with all of Richmond’s finest vendors, giving students a taste of what supporting your community feels like.

To create a food hall that asks the audience to rethink the grocery experience by connecting directly with the producers of the goods for sale.

The Cary Street Gym bares a resemblence to the San Lorenzo Market, or Mercato Centrale as the Florentine people will call it. Located in a towering cast-iron building dating from 1874, Mercato Centrale’s entrances are often obscured by the stalls of the San Lorenzo market that line the streets outside.

On the lowest floor, a market with seemingly endless amounts of fresh fish, produce, meats and cheeses from locals. Every stall is filled with a friendly man or woman looking to let you experience their own style of Tuscan cuisine.

On the second floor there is a food court style dining area. Along the perimeter are vendors where you can sit down and have a glass of wine, have a fresh pizza cooked in a brick oven, or have pasta made right in front of you’re eyes. There is a bar and cafe station and even places where cooking classes may be held.

Mercato Centrale will relate to the Food Hall in that it is a place that captures two different styles in one. The very localized and fresh aspect of italian food with a modern take of dining and cu-linary education. What the Food Hall will do is merge the market style and local ambition with the physical health of the already present gym.

The Hamilton Farmers’ Market is set in an area much like the Cary Street Gym. Urban setting with a major traffic artery (Cary St. for Richmond) carrying directly through it. What is special about this market is that it combines two generally different sects, a market and a public library all housed in one building. The Hamilton Market will help make decisions about how to pair the current gym with the soon to be food hall. The purpose of this renovation was to create and promote two important public programs in Ontario.

The Hamilton Market consists of community gathering space, local produce as well as things from over 70 local vendors, a com-munity kitchen and fresh food prepared on site.

The Market also hosts events related to the space. Cooking workshops and demonstrations, some that are meant specifically for kids and adults.

This space is very relatable to the Food Hall because of it’s program. Because the space is located on a major traffic artery like the Cary Street Gym. It also hosts vendors as well as local produce. Understanding the layout of this space is the most important aspects. Combining two different spaces and making them work as one, in a city with many diverse people.

The CookBook in Los Angeles is a great example of the bare minumum needs for grocery shop-ping. This is the kind of store when you walk out, it’s impossible to not eat healthy. There is no stocking of candy bars or sodas or “impulse buys.” It is truly a great example how grocery can be in-your-face positively.

What the Food Hall can learn from the CookBook, even though there is a massive differnce in size, is that the Food Hall will create a place access to all the best local vendors with no filler. It will really just be a hub of Richmond locals so that when you leave you have had all the knowledge and access desired.

70 meters wide and 40 meters tall) is relatable to the amount of space available in the Cary Street Gym. The Market was originally designed to be an open air market but because of strict European open air sale codes it had to be enclosed. “A highly public, open building with good accessibility” was eeded for this building succeed unlike other South European markets which have come off as cold and introverted.

Markthal Rotterdam was recently built by MVRDV architects in The Netherlands. It consists of a major market including vendors, apart-ments above and a full size parking deck underground. An interesting concept Markthal focuses on is its proximity to its surroundings. It is in a historical location as well as incorporating the market aisles with the traffic coming in and out of the building. This action gives a strong contribution to the urban economy. Markthal strives to create coherence and connections in the neighborhood much like the Richmond Food Hall aims to. The space in this market (the current volume of the arch emerged 120 meters long,

Hunter is Graduate of Hampden Sydney College and has past is experience in the financial industry. He opened Har-vest Grocery + Supply in January of 2014. He says it’s hard but fun business.

MH: How does the process work to obtain organic and local food?H: ...It’s a love/hate relationship, without places like mine there’s really no outlet for [farmers’] food, but they want to be farmers. They don’t want to be sales-people and merchandisers and mar-keters. They just want to grow food... and also farmers markets are even worse than a Walmart or something in terms of environmental impact ‘cause you have all the farmers driving... the customers driving... it’s just a bad model...MH: Well what do you think the solution to that is then?H: Charlottesville has a local food hub that will buy a farmer’s crop outright, not a couple pounds at a time. They worry about the distribution.MH: Do you think that there’s more customers who want “locally grown food” rather than farmers wanting to grow for that same reason?H: No... When I talk to farmers they feel like there is not a consum-er demand for their product, especially at the price that a lot of it is. And this is something that the local food movement has kind of hit a brick wall. You’ve got the early adopters... now moving out to people’s actual day to day lives is the next challenge.In terms of retail experience though... it’s very different in terms of, how do you make a grocery like this work, the knowledge is essentially lost with all the super centers now. You barely make any money because this stuff is very low margin. For a store this size we’re asking to part of people’s weekly routine, obviously no one does 5 days of grocery shopping here...MH: Are local vendors a little bit more on board with supplying you guys?H: Oh yeah! All the local vendors are super into it... One really nice thing about is Richmond is the local business environment is very collaborative and looking to grow...

the Farmer’s are very friendly to sell to me as well but the farmer’s market setup is little more love/hate. They depend on it for their sustenance but, God it’s a pain in the ass. I will say this. You have to have prepared foods. So I’m trying to think of how it could work in a gym environment where people could be picking stuff up after they work out.... that’s one of the things that I’ve always thought could really help local food is just having it in front of people’s faces more.MH: You mentioned these “early adopters” and it seems like what I want to do is go to the next level...H: Where you are accessing the people who might not come to a store like this, but if it’s something that is on their point A to point B path, they might be more open to it... the argument is always is that it’s better for the environment, better for your local economy but the message needs change that this tomato is better, like it’s just a better quality tomato.MH: Would you ever consider expanding?H:...I would love to have a butchery.... like a full butchery that did food service but I think for that to do well it really needs its own space.H: Theres a degree of grocery that is public service, you have to be open.. you can’t run this business with people wondering if you’re open or not.MH: When you started did you have someone design it.H: Well, I designed it but it has changed a lot.... Grocery is the most hard core retail in terms of merchandising, you have to maintain the illusion of abundance at all times.... No one will take the last orange, no one will even take the last three oranges.H: Also VCU, it’s college kids, we don’t really bend over backwards to appeal to students because they’re looking for frozen entrées and stuff I really don’t want to sell...

John has been working for Alchemy for around two years and is one of the companies most experienced employees and now manages the Alchemy trailer on campus.

MH: What are your biggest competitors?J: We advertise and market ourselves as having exceptional coffee and also the bare bones of coffee. Locally, Lamplighter is out biggest specialty competitor but from a commercial standpoint, Starbucks will always take the cake in that regard because of there accessibility... But as far as local specialty coffee it’s a function of where people live and whats closest to them. MH: But Alchemy is not necessarily looking to compete with the same market as Starbucks, right?J: Yeah, we’re not necessarily trying to hit every corner of Rich-mond, we’d like to, but we’re just trying to hit VCU. That’s where we are at now, we’ve got campus covered...MH: Do you think you’re biggest audience is students?J: Yeah... and I would imagine that a lot of that decision came from trial and error. Because we were set up downtown initially and a lot of those people are getting into work around 8-9am and they’ve already had they’re coffee at home or have gone to Starbucks or 7/11... but that didn’t really pan out for [alchemy] because we didn’t have as much volume on the sidewalk as someone might ex-pect like in a bigger city. Being so corporate downtown, we worked our way back here and realized that VCU was going to be the place that was a proving ground. If it could work here (VCU), in theory,... then it could work in the city. I think it was a big experiment in marketing.MH: So if Alchemy were to expand where do you think it would be?J: I really don’t know because there are many option because Richmond is the type of city where you have these certain parts of town that are populated by relatively different demographics, you know, if I go down to the bottom, I have a different demographic of people than the West End, But it’s all a function of what they have close to them rather than what [we] can bring to them.

The building known as the Cary Street Gym, has housed much more than just a gym. Originally built as a public market, the building has been used as an audi-torium, warehouse, and today used as a world class fitness facility. All of this started with the opening of the Third Street Market in 1891.

Mentioned earlier, the Cary Street Gym bares a resemblance to Mercato Cen-trale in Florence, Italy mainly for based upon the exposed steel framing and ga-bled roofs. This building also resembles French and Italian Department Stores and markets. In the 1906 the city ren-ovated the Third Street Market into the City Auditorium “having never realized its potential as a market.” The City au-ditorium was a venue for civic presenta-tions, political debates and hosted acts such a John Phillip Sousa, Will Rogers, and William M. Sunday.

Virginia Commonwealth University bought the building in 1978 and cre-ated the Cary Street Gym, a well re-nowned fitness facility that holds a rock wall, 2 indoor heated pools, 4 court gym and the list continues (VCU Recsports, 2010).

The Cary Street Gym will work for the Food Hall of Richmond because of its important history and prior use as a market and its current use as a health and activity center. Multiple floors with open to below spaces allow for separate of space and the open space will be in-teresting to work with.
