Image of the exterior view of Mira Loma's new cafeteria. As seen in the image, the front wall is glass but the team will use solar glass to reduce the use of energy. Inside the cafeteria, we added alternating blue and red tables, which are Mira Loma's school colors, we also added a sufficient amount of trashcans and recycling bins inside the lunchroom. Another addition to the new cafeteria is the gazebos to the roof, for student and staff access. A staircase will be placed outside, near the back wall, for the community to use when going onto the roof. Inside, is an elevator that goes to the second floor and onto the roof. The elevator will be used for people with disabilities meeting the requirement for the ADA. A current step the team is working on is transforming the roof into a garden and with stainless colorful glass writing ML onto the front wall of the cafeteria.

Since glass is such a key componant of what you are crating much more info. is needed.
Roof top gardens ae really nice but how will you bring the ML community up on the roof and how will the roof ahndle a garden and all those new people up there. ADA Issues?
Thank you for your comment. Dynamic Designs will add more information about the glass. The team is in the process of building a staircase outside in the back of the cafeteria for the public to use when going onto the community garden. Also, to handle all the rooftop garden, a maximum of fifty people will be allowed onto the rooftop. The cafeteria has an elevator that goes to the second floor, as well as the roof, this meets the requirements for the ADA.
