Palm Beach Atlantic University
Foodesign Associates had the opportunity to be part of a team that completed a fast-trackdesign-build project for Palm Beach Atlantic University, West Palm Beach, FL, in time to welcome students as they returned for the Fall 2020 semester. With just four weeks for
preconstruction and nine weeks of construction, the team performed a complete renovation to the Lassiter Student Center featuring a dining hall, open-concept kitchen, coffee shop, and convenience market.
Fuquay Varina High School
Designing a new kitchen, serving area, and kiosk for a high school with 2,230 students required meticulous focus on efficiency, functionality, and space planning. This layout optimized workflow to accommodate the substantial volume of meals needed for a large student population. We put a lot of thought into space planning to facilitate a smooth flow from food preparation to cooking and serving, minimizing congestion and optimizing productivity. Our design provided functionality, safety, and the ability to handle high food production demands while maintaining a comfortable and organized workspace for the kitchen staff.
Johnson County Detention Center
Designing a commercial kitchen and laundry for a detention facility demands careful consideration of security, efficiency, and scale. Our plans optimize the flow of food preparation, cooking, and serving to meet the dietary needs of the detainee population efficiently while providing a secure space to meet the governing guidelines and regulations. We provide correctional layouts that prioritize safety, scalability, and functionality.
Cedarfield Main Café
The design renovation for this retirement community included updating the main kitchen’s existing buffet serving area to add cooking capability, multiple serving station options, a full-service bar and coffee counter, and a new take-out meal service and dessert prep area. Also included were plans for a new memory support kitchen and pantry, an activity serving kitchen, and a staff serving area. We prioritized accessibility and user-friendly features for all retirement projects, considering our residents’ diverse needs.
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
As part of the Billy Graham Library Expansion project, we designed the dining hall, food-warming kitchen, and serving area.
