Why this space works:
JME supported Northfield Community Elementary School with foodservice planning aligned to its K-8 academic and nutritional mission, delivering a flexible, durable program that serves daily meals and community events. The design prioritized clear flow, resilient finishes, and age-appropriate service to support students, staff, and families.
Highlights include serving lines for efficient peak-period throughput, back-of-house preparation with cold and dry storage, integrated warewashing for quick turnaround, and a multi-use cafeteria layout that transitions seamlessly from lunch service to assemblies and after-hours programs.
The approach reflects JME’s deep experience with K-12 institutions across New Jersey, emphasizing long-term maintainability, safety, and adaptability for evolving menus and participation.
