An inviting entrance presents enhanced wayfinding, digital menus, and school branding graphics. The enlarged, open-floor servery provides additional food offerings and improved circulation at expanded food stations, grab-and-go cases, and slat wall food and merchandise displays. An expanded kitchen with open servery access facilitates efficient movement for staff. The enhanced dining area serves as a social hub and provides a variety of seating styles and arrangements.
