Dining Hall Designs
Today’s student dining experience combines:
- Safer distanced dining spaces
- Conversely increased student numbers
- Potentially shorter breaktimes
Our dining hall designs remove the stress from mealtimes, ensuring students are calmer in their dining environments. School dining halls and refectories form an influential part of student life as key areas where students interact together and build longlasting social relationships.
Improving the dining experience
Over recent years, there has been an ever-improving development of school catering and school cafés.
The most forward-thinking schools are taking steps to improve the dining experience for their students.
The intelligent layout of our dining halls means students can spend more time doing what is important to them – sports, socialising, attending clubs – and less time trying to navigate old queueing systems, meaning they will feel happier, more ready to concentrate and have a much more positive attitude throughout the day.
Durable Design
High traffic volumes and rigorous daily use of the school dining hall calls for a durable and timeless design.
Whilst the aesthetic look and feel of your new dining space is important, it is also crucial to ensure that your space works effectively too.
We look at all the ways your dining areas are used and work with you to plan intelligent yet practical improvements to benefit staff and students at these vital times of their day.
Planning your dining space
By taking the time to carefully plan your dining hall interior design and refurbishment you can ensure that the results of your project will last longer and be more effective than a ‘quick fix’ solution.
Our experienced design team know what to suggest and can serve your school sturdy, long lasting furniture to add to the fine dining experience.
Before making any changes, it is necessary to establish the aims of your project, and form an idea of what the desired outcome should look like. Envoplan works with you to create the best and most inspirational school dining spaces throughout the process.
Envoplan’s expertise
Our in-house design team have many years of experience in creating dining spaces that really work.
We consider all aspects; Hygiene, people flow, waste management, durable and functional furniture, and easy to maintain finishes.
If you require your space to be multi-functional, we will accommodate this. Many of our clients require their school dining space to be used for parent presentations and all-school get-togethers.
We will weave this into our design, creating a school dining space that is both inspirational and functional.
