Kitchens for schools and colleges

With over 40 years’ experience, the team at GLS are skilled at designing kitchens that are ergonomic, efficient, safe and reliable.

We understand all the factors that are key to success, including ensuring an optimal kitchen workflow from delivery and storage, through preparation and cooking, to service and wash-up.

As well as kitchens that cater for students and staff, many schools and colleges also require training kitchens – and some educational establishments need kitchens that can perform both functions.

Our work for Telford College is a good example of this.

How GLS design a kitchen for your school or college

Our work starts with a meeting to gain an overview of your project, including your operational requirements, budgets, and the building (or area within it) where the kitchen is to be located.

We’ll develop an initial CAD layout – with options where applicable – and discuss this with you in detail. A more in-depth CAD layout would follow, with an equipment legend and an itemised quotation.

Once costs are agreed and options chosen, a comprehensive services layout is produced detailing the mechanical and electrical requirements.

GLS support you right through to completion… and beyond

Whether you would like us to undertake the installation, or whether you already have an installation team in place, we can provide a designated project manager who will attend meetings, and liaise with architects or contractors.

Further to completion, we perform a thorough handover, furnishing you with operational manuals and certificates, and arranging equipment training if required.

And once everything is up and running, we’re always just a phone call away if you’ve questions or further requirements.
