The Outpost Kitchen
The Outpost Kitchen, which also may be referred to as an auxiliary kitchen or morning kitchen, is a small kitchen equipped to handle a minimal number of food preparation needs. Often located in mother-in-law suites, master bedroom suites, family rooms, or office, this downsized kitchen contains smaller appliances and fixtures that fit the household's needs for that particular space. This Outpost Kitchen, finished in Colonial Cherry cabinetry by CWP Cabinetry, contains a Hawaiian Green granite countertop from Massanutten Marble and Granite Company. Drinks and select food items can be stored in the under counter refrigerator by Sub-Zero which also includes a small frozen food area and ice maker. Morning coffee is prepared with the capsule style built-in coffee system by Miele. A Spacesaver microwave oven by GE fits perfectly into the space.
In an area near the Outpost Kitchen is a wall of matching cherry cabinets by CWP Cabinetry that contains book storage for the Center's library and other enclosed storage. Two pantry units, one a pull-out wire basket system and the other fold-out storage shelves behind a cabinet door, provide visitors and students examples of pantry storage.
