NICHE

nding principles are sustainability, accessibility and innovation. NICHE houses the WSU Tech Culinary Arts program. Throughout their two-year associates program, our students receive over one thousand hours of culinary lab instruction (actual time in the kitchen). But in addition to this, all of our students have the opportunity to work in the Bistro, Food Hall, events and catering. The pressures and timing of a bustling kitchen or large-scale banquet are impossible to duplicate in a lab environment, which is why we consider this real-world experience to be essential in preparing them for the workforce. NICHE features an open to the public Food Hall as well as several rentable spaces throughout the facility including Henry's Place, the Event Center and Rooftop Terrace at NICHE.
