This renovation project transformed an existing underutilized bake shop into two state-of-the-art teaching kitchens. The work included the complete demolition of the existing interior, including the concrete floor slab which was removed to allow the installation of new in-ground plumbing lines. An adjacent storage room was repurposed to house large walk-in coolers, a pot-washing line, student lockers, and a new double door student entry. All new mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems provide advanced control of the interior environment and provide the necessary flexibility to allow two separate classes to be run simultaneously. ATK Design Studios provided design guidance and new equipment layouts that provide the required enhanced functionality and visual separation between the two classrooms. Specialty flooring and white subway tiles update the aesthetic and provide new durable finishes. Despite facing numerous challenges during construction, including the need to reroute a series of underground electrical lines that were not documented on the available as-builts, the project was successfully completed on time and within the budget.
