The existing Victoria School cafeteria was to be a part of a visionary new program to be offered in which students are taught not only how to cook, but upon completion to have all the tools needed to operate a restaurant. To achieve this goal, a renovation to the existing cafeteria and adjacent support kitchen was required. The kitchen and dishwashing areas were modernized and a server line was created in the cafeteria. A key component to the school’s mandate is to reduce waste, and this stance was reflected in with many of the server line components consisting of salvaged items repurposed to suit the needs of the new program.
