The Marriott Culinary Lab opened this fall, giving UNT hospitality management students a workspace mirroring the finest industrial kitchens. The lab was made possible by a $300,000 gift from the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation that matched $300,000 in Higher Education Assistance Funds to renovate an existing lab. The new, more efficient lab has stainless steel work tops and new equipment. (Photo by Michael Clements)
