Affton High School’s renovation of its cafeteria, servery and kitchen provides modernized dining and expanded servery and kitchen environments to replace an inefficient and outdated facility from the 1950s. 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. The center lighting feature provides changeable LED lighting environments to support seasonal and school events. An expanded kitchen with open servery access facilitates efficient movement for staff. The enhanced dining area serves as a social hub of activity with new super graphic branding, mobile cafeteria tables, bar-height counters, and a variety of seating styles and arrangements for group or individual dining. Interiors have a soothing palette with pops of bright school-branded colors and durable materials including quartz countertops, terrazzo floors, wood-look columns, and glossy wall tiles. New exterior windows and restored clerestory windows provide ample daylighting and outdoor views to support spatial orientation and mental health.
