Purpose
to provide comfortable eating area for large number of students, as well as large group gatherings or performances
Activities
- eating
- performance seating
- all school events or gatherings
- community events
Considerations
- Acoustic treatments on walls and ceilings
- Sound system and video capabilities
- Dining furniture that is easy to move for daily cleaning
- Handwashing station, water fountains (per NSLP requirements), and nearby bathrooms
- Easy access to playfields (elementary schools)
- Daylighting
- Access to outdoor dining areas
- Need for shade at outdoor dining areas (most schools)
- Need for rain-day contingency (middle/high students have no protected dining space)
- Large school populations → require decentralized food access points
