SERVING STUDENTS AND FACULTY
WITH KEC | DESIGN
Everything has changed in school foodservice in the past few years. Facilities built years ago are being revamped, communities are investing in state-of-the-art facilities, a more diverse student population is driving menu changes and packaged meals have become the norm. Navigating federal and state mandates, funding pressures, and growing demand for private education and residential facilities adds complexity to design and equipment decisions. KECdesign is committed to creating spaces that optimize the overall campus experience.
TRANSFORMING FOODSERVICE IN EDUCATION
According to the School Nutrition Association, 54% of schools have upgraded their kitchen equipment to improve meal quality over the past five years. With a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and meal quality, we design solutions that support the evolving demands of students, staff, and the community.
