Could you please explain how ‘the closure forms part of’… the ‘program, that aims to create a permanent and distinctiive dining experience for KAUST’? – I think some key information is missing from this announcement! Usually closures do not create any kind of dining experience!
Dear Mr Davey
Thank you for your comments; we take all feedback very seriously and appreciate you taking the time to post. The CARE program has been developed to improve facilities in and around campus with the Pure Restaurant being the current focus. The program plan for Pure is to create a more permanent structure that will allow for a more pleasurable dining experience that is not interrupted by weather or noise. In order to create the more distinctive dining experience it is necessary to temporarily close the current operation, build the planned structure and then reopen once all is in place.
I do hope this answers your question and we apologize for any confusion we may have caused.
Regards
Thank you! That makes much more sense, the details are interesting to hear and the new structure is something to look forward to!
