Designing a Flexible Space that Adapts with Your Community
Design a space that won’t need redesigned every three years
Benchmarking Benchmarking asks the question, “what does the data tell us?” • How many students are we serving? • What space are we playing in? • What are our budgetary parameters? Trends Trends seek to understand how best to prepare our students to eat healthier now and into adulthood. • Where do our kids eat when they’re not with us? • How do we expose our children to quality foods that will set a healthy foundation for their entire life? • How do we provide our students with a restful and rejuvenating environment woven into their educational experience?
Yes, trends change. Yes, communities and preferences shift. It’s neither realistic nor cost-effective to redesign a space every time preferences shift. However, there are ways to incorporate flexibility and adaptability into the foodservice design to meet the growing needs of a community. RDG’s design process is unique. We take a high-level view of your community and examine the needs of the student population in your schools. We seek to match the foodservice design goals to the space and budget parameters in place. Context RDG assists in shaping the vision, design, and impact of each district’s educational model and goals. We use active listening, empathetic exploration, and visual discovery to better understand:
