WSKF Architects is leading a design team that includes Foodlines food service consultants and engineering partners. The facility will meet the daily foods needs of the district’s 26 elementary schools, early childhood program and other catering. WSKF and Foodlines developed the floorplan and design with district and Nutritional Services leaders to promote efficiency and workplace safety in providing the required large-scale food service. That process begins with six dock doors that accommodate tractor trailers and commercial-grade delivery trucks and the flow of supplies through to the receiving area, warehouse and cold and dry storage. WSKF and Foodlines took great care to ensure the layout and design aligned with the district’s needs. Work and support areas include a large prep/baking/cookline area, warewash, offices and a staff locker room. Foodlines worked in close consultation with the district in specifying and laying out coolers, freezers, mixers, prep tables, sinks, ovens and ranges, transport carts, shelving and other equipment needs. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2019.
