School Canteens

CIDStudy.Space is experienced in designing and building school canteens for our clients across Surrey, Sussex, London and the South-East. With our wealth of experience and expertise we will ensure the meals in your educational setting are delivered smoothly and efficiently.

If the classrooms are the brain of the school then the canteen is definitely the stomach. School canteens are high intensity spaces. Time is of the essence when students are in the canteen so ensuring the systems in place for maximum efficiency is key. Encouraging healthy eating choices and keeping the space clean and hygienic are priorities. We work with specialist school canteen suppliers to deliver bright, modern spaces that help to alleviate the pressures of serving lunch en masse.

Space Planning

By taking the time to work with our clients on redesigning and space planning their canteen we ensure that we optimise the potential for your dining area. We can arrange a visit to your school during your lunch break to assess the challenges and help devise a plan that will work for you. Use of zoning, ensuring routes are clearly demarked and where necessary thinking about how your canteen can be adapted are key components of our initial surveys and discussions.

Hygienic & Healthy

In many respects the dining hall is where so many life lessons are taught to your student body and as such it is important that these learning opportunities are not overlooked. Engaging your pupils on the benefits of healthy eating, nutrition, food preparation and the social benefits of sitting and enjoying a meal together all occur in this space. We can help you to get the most added value out of your eating spaces.

Seating & Comfort

A school lunchtime should be a moment of respite for both staff and students. By updating seating areas and rethinking canteen designs, we create positive atmospheres that enhance comfort and improve behavior. Our goal is to ensure a pleasant lunchtime experience that positively impacts afternoon lessons.

Multifunctional Dining Spaces

Many of the schools and educational settings that we work have space limitations. We understand that often your canteen is also your assembly hall, your indoor gym and your drama studio. There are numerous ways in which we can help you extend the use of your dining space to make it work for you and achieve its potential within your school.

Hear from our happy customers

“
Hermann MartynMichael Sobel Sinai School
“Just a short note of appreciation in respect of the work carried out by CID in respect of the above project. The IT suite has been brought up to date and the children are most enthusiastic and last week when the student council met with the Governors they particularly commented on how much they were enjoying their new facility. The whole project ran very smoothly during the Summer break, finishing on time, with the quality of workmanship and overall levels of service excellent. On the basis of this experience I would certainly recommend CID Spaces to other schools.”

“
Hansa PanchalGrange Primary School
“I would recommend CID Spaces for any restructure or modification works. They helped us manage the conversion of an ICT room to a fabulous new Art room. They were very professional and supportive giving us all the help needed to design and complete the project within timescales as well as obtain the final completion certificate from building control.”

“CID spaces were helpful with aiding CHA and the school with developing the design proposal for the reception area, keeping within the budget and their build team managed the works on site very well with the school. Their experience with fit out and refurbishment projects were of great assistance to CHA.”
