TOP 10 FINALIST: 2012 national competition project #034 | cafeteria redesign
|Sage Hill School is a private school in Newport Coast, California. With relatively small total enrollment of 438, there is no need for a full indoor cafeteria; instead, there is a small kitchen, run by Sapphire at School, where students can purchase food items throughout the school day. Most students eat their lunch at the outdoor tables of the Winkins Town Square-- a tradition made possible by the temperate weather conditions of southern California; however, there are some key improvements to be made to the in regards to the general congestion in the kitchen area during lunchtime. In this project, I aim to explore possible solutions to the congestion issue as well as improvements in eco-friendly practices.
