No Food Fights Here!!!
Food Court Designs Add Appeal and a Welcoming Atmosphere to the Cafeteria
Schools around the country are thinking about the old cafeteria dining. Cafeterias are often noisy, drab and unpleasant places to be. Schools that I’ve worked with lately are rethinking the purpose of the dining experience. It’s an important place to socialize and to learn manners. Why shouldn’t students have a nice dining experience? Even elementary schools are separating the dining and PE rooms to create food courts.
I met up with the folks from Interior Systems Inc. at the NSSEA show in Phoenix in November. While they aren’t the only system out there, their brochure gives some pretty nice ideas for making over the cafeteria. The ISI folks also have a pretty nice blog at http://blog.isiamerica.com/search/label/education. – Molly Smith
