Innovative and Affordable Ways to Renovate and Design a Classroom
If you take a look at any industrial kitchen space, one thing you’ll notice is that clean and durable surfaces are used throughout every inch of that space and one of those materials is laminate casework, a highly durable material that many culinary spaces utilize.
Laminate casework has a lot to offer in a space like a culinary classroom. For instance, it can be customized to fit any space in terms of dimension, as well as customization for the appearance of this space. You can choose from 250 colors to make sure that the casework has continuity with the educational entity’s aesthetic.
What Products are Best for a Culinary Space?
In terms of culinary space, it’s important to consider the different types of tools and machinery that are used, and having laminate casework that is customizable makes the space being used even more functional. Combine that with the durability it has to offer, you won’t have to worry about replacing these materials any time soon.
Another great feature that our high-pressure laminate casework has to offer is chem-resistant coating. When working in a kitchen, it’s important to ensure that every single space is consistently sanitized, and with the chemical makeup and constant use thereof, you can begin to see a breakdown of the top layer of the surface. With the casework from Longo, you no longer have to worry about this. Additionally, our casework is easy-to-clean and impact-resistant, making them perfect for culinary classroom space.
Another aspect of the culinary space to consider is the “ease-of-access,” students will need to have with their tools. When it comes to anything culinary, timing is everything, and falling behind even one second can lead to a ruined meal. With our laminate casework, you’ll have the option the customizable sizes allow for easy storage of both large and small tools. We have several shelving and storage options so you’ll have just what your space needs to set your students up for success.
In addition to the proper storage and casework, it’s important to have quality mobile tables. With a mobile table, you equip your space with tools that can constantly adapt to the ever-changing environment to fit your needs, and with a culinary space, this happens constantly.
Before picking out the products that you want or making any purchases, it is a best practice to come up with a plan. You should evaluate your needs for the classroom, and evaluate the size of the space. This is why planning and design plays such an important role in every successful classroom or laboratory renovation project. Regardless of the size or shape of your lab classroom, your goal should be to fully optimize the space. Not only does everything need to fit, it also needs to be safe for your students and fully functional. This is why we pride ourselves as experts at evaluating the unique needs of our clients and interpreting those needs into functional, efficient, and long-term classroom solutions.
