Perry

Erin Coleman, Child Nutrition Director for Perry Township Schools is gearing up for a busy summer kitchen remodel at a middle school that is long overdue. In this interview she and Scott Reitano, Reitano Design Group, discuss the plans for the new space and the considerations that had to be made for such a large project. Among many other things, the plumbing is getter replaced, dish machines are getting relocated, and a large historic oven will be given the boot. Watch as we show and discuss the existing kitchen and then review new blueprints & 3D imagery - Stay tuned for a follow-up video when the project is completed in the fall.

Brownsburg

Jordan Ryan, Coordinator of Nutrition Services for Brownsburg Community Schools shares her experience working with Reitano Design Group for the design of their serving space during the construction of a brand new dining and commons space. From the placement of the coffee shop, to the display cooking station, to the fresh food bars, forward-thinking design was implemented throughout. Instead of the menu being built around the dining space - the dining space was built around a menu which entices the students to choose a healthy, balanced meal. The beautiful food court design is completed with custom designed environmental graphics that accent the menu items on each of the lines. This fully- equipped functional space is a must see in this short video.
