Food Technology Classroom Refurbishment

Food Technology Classroom Refurbishment Service

Klick Technology is one of the UK’s leading specialists in school food technology classroom refurbishments.

A refurbishment project can comprehensively transform a food technology teaching space and dramatically improve the functionality. This can increase students’ engagement in learning about food and their understanding of how to cook.

At the early stages of a project it is a good idea to discuss any plans with the school staff to take into account any teaching preferences and create a wish list of the facilities required.

Food Technology Room Refurbishment – Key Considerations

Heat levels in a food technology room can fluctuate considerably and is critical to create a comfortable working environment for students and staff.

Air conditioning – During practical lessons classrooms can quickly become overheated and air conditioning may be required to keep the room cool. If theory lessons are taught in the same room you may need to heat the room for theory sessions, particularly during the winter months. Air conditioning is quicker and easier to control than a traditional radiator system which is comparatively slow to react.

Extraction – may be needed to remove heat and steam from within the room.

Power resources – At the initial stages of the project you will need to get advice from a specialist company to check if there is access to sufficient power for electric ovens, sockets, whitegoods, air conditioning and extraction. It may be necessary to include for a new distribution board which should be budgeted for right from the start. As part of the Klick turnkey refurbishment process, we will check if current gas, power and water services are adequate for the proposed work.

Storage and laundry facilities – Space should be allocated for the storage of equipment, students’ ingredients & finished cooked items. It may be necessary to allocate space for a storeroom or laundry as part of your plans.
