Olympus Jedi Temple Refectory

The refectories of the Olympus Jedi Temple on Olympus were Jedi-run dining halls consisting of kitchens, eating areas, and gardens. Located on several different levels of the Temple, the refectories varied in size and function, with some serving only specific meals. Each refectory's kitchen had direct access to the foods stored within the Temple's storage level.

Layout
Located throughout the Temple the refectories consisted of a kitchen and dining hall and were serviced by supplies and ingredients from the Temple's Storage Level and the kitchen gardens. Like most of the Temple, these chambers were, while designed for beauty, maintained a sense of utilitarian purpose and were connected to the service corridors.

Each dining hall was filled with long, trestle tables that were flanked by benches; holodisplays were hung along the pillared walls to show news from across the galaxy. Refuse stations were located around the room for the return of dishes and utensils, and the disposal of any waste.[12] The halls were maintained by refectory droids capable of analyzing the content of the food trays. Hovering around the rooms, the droids would clear away any spills or forgotten dishes and dispose of any undesired waste.

In addition to the large dining halls, smaller breakfast rooms were in use around the structure for use by youngling clans during their early years of training. Small intimate chambers, Jedi Masters would visit the rooftop chambers and talk to the extremely young children. Transparisteel windows along the walls could rise into the ceiling to let in fresh air on nice days, giving the younglings a chance to experience a cool breeze while they ate in the safety of the Temple.

The kitchens were large, capable of servicing over a hundred Jedi at a time. Large stoves and ovens lined the walls and preparation areas had datascreens from which supplies could be summoned from the Storage Level. Airlifts from the Storage Level would jettison up requested ingredients for use in certain recipes. Maintained by Jedi and non-Force-sensitives alike, the Temple employees would work through the day to prepare the large meals needed to feed the Order's members. Servicing the kitchens, kitchen gardens were a quiet area where the food for the Temple was grown.
