In the Culinary Cafe, students prepare and cook a weekly menu of seasonal salads, soups, sandwiches, pizzas, entrees and desserts.

The new, 22,000-square-foot building was named for B. Robert Burdo, who served on the SRJC's Board of Trusteess for over 25 years. It was built with $20 million in Measure A bond funds.
