TOP 10 FINALIST: 2012 national competition project #041 | cafeteria redesign
|The cafeteria at Simon Kenton High School is loud, ugly, and overcrowded. The tables must be set so close together that it is tiresome to wind your way in and out of them to get to wherever you are going. The cafeteria has no means of sound attenuation, so when filled with 425 students at once, its hard to hear the person next to you talk. There is no aesthetic or sustainable features throughout the whole cafeteria, also, there is no outdoor seating area at all. This cafeteria is ready for an upgrade.
