COC students involved in Hyatt Regency Valencia restaurant renovation

In the fall of 2013, five College of the Canyons students collaborated with Barry Prescott, general manager of the Hyatt Regency Valencia Hotel.

This included a hands-on experience with a hypothetical design and construction budget of $20,000 to redesign and refurbish the Vines Restaurant and Bar located in the hotel.

The changes that were recommended by the students were actually adopted by Prescott.

Kurt Farmer, director of food and beverage services of the Hyatt Regency Valencia, explains in detail the renovation of the restaurant and bar along with the new menu changes that have taken place.
