Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) December 19, 2016
Today, Laurie Moldawer, founder and CEO of Park City Culinary Institute announced that the Park City Culinary Institute (PCCI) will be opening a new culinary school in Salt Lake City in January, 2017. The new school is located at 1484 South State Street, an area becoming known for international cuisine and nightlife. Neighbors include Tosh’s Ramen, Mahider Ethiopian Restaurant and Piper Down.
PCCI will retain its current space in Park City, UT at the Deer Valley Club for catered private events and corporate team-building programs. Once the new facility is fully operational, nearly all of PCCI’s Certificate Programs in Culinary Arts will be held at the new Salt Lake location.
Said Moldawer, “With students driving from hours away, we knew we needed to be in Salt Lake City. It’s remarkable how many students have driven up to Deer Valley since we opened in 2013. After graduating dozens of students over the years, we knew exactly what type of facility we wanted, and that Salt Lake City was the place.”
The school tapped Kin Ng of MJSA Architecture to design the project. Ng has designed many of the area’s most fun restaurant spaces including Wasatch Brew Pub, Squatters and Pago, as well as incubator Church and State. High-end commercial equipment basks in natural light from dramatic skylights, surrounded by red brick and an exposed barrel roof. The atmosphere allows students to immerse themselves in cooking, and be endlessly inspired at the same time.
Whether someone wants to start their own business, or change careers, they are drawn to Park City Culinary Institute. The school attracts students straight out of high school, to people with college and graduate degrees. Novice cooks attend as well as experienced cooks and restaurant owners. They all agree that small classes, personalized attention, and hands-on training with Award-Winning Chefs is what it takes to build a solid foundation.
Said Moldawer, “Other culinary schools were starting to rip off students. We wanted to offer a sensible alternative. A fast, affordable way to go to Culinary School. Without the debt load of a 2-year degree.”
Classes are already filling up for 2017. An evening program is now available, as well as a Level II Certificate for people who want to continue their education. New students can now choose between 8-week and 16-week programs.
The 2017 schedule is as follows:
