Gain Real-world Experience
Many practice opportunities are offered in the Joy Burns Center, a world-class, 46,000-square-foot living laboratory that is home to Fritz Knoebel. The Joy Burns Center houses classrooms, a commercial production kitchen, a 170-person ballroom built in the style of a Tuscan wine cellar, a student-run coffee shop and much more. It is a distinctive setting that offers students hands-on experience planning and managing events. Students produce the school’s wine festival, DU Vin, and our annual Public Good Gala; manage two school-owned Beans coffee shops; and open several pop-up restaurants each year.
