Avila’s shared kitchen is available to every group. Light use, storing your food, warming dishes, and washing up, is included at no charge. It’s part of how the space works: groups care for their own meals and leave the kitchen ready for the next people.

If your group plans to cook and serve meals from the shared kitchen, a $100 per event fee applies. If a chef or caterer will use the kitchen exclusively for your event, the fee is $75 per day; during exclusive use, other groups on campus have light use only. These fees support the deeper cleaning that heavier kitchen use requires.

As with all our spaces, a group may be charged an additional cleaning fee if the kitchen is left needing more than normal cleaning.

If you’d rather not cook, we’re glad to connect you with local Black, Indigenous, and People of Color owned caterers who know Avila and our kitchen well. See our preferred caterers here: Catering Vendors
