St. Phillip’s College Tourism, Hospitality, and Culinary Arts Center of Excellence

Tourism, Hospitality, and Culinary Arts

The Tourism, Hospitality, and Culinary Arts (THCA) at St. Philip’s College in San Antonio, Texas, was funded by the 2017 Alamo Colleges $450 Bond Program to provide a dedicated facility for one of the oldest and top-ranked culinary schools in the United States.

The 61,200-sf, four-story facility features state-of-the-art industry-standard equipment, 898 Café on the first floor, a pastry café on the second, and the crowning jewel on the fourth floor - Artemisia’s Restaurant. The full-service student-run restaurant is cantilevered from the north end of the building and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass for dramatic views of the downtown San Antonio skyline.
