Comparison of a college cafe layout before and after redesign

The provided floor plans illustrate the layout of a college café before and after a recent redesign. Overall, the transformation has focused on diversifying the food service offerings and expanding the seating capacity to include an outdoor area, while removing the dedicated staff dining rooms.

In the original layout, the café featured a single serving area for all food and drink located adjacent to the kitchen. The central space was occupied by tables and chairs, with two staff dining rooms situated in the upper middle section. A standard bin was positioned near the right-hand entrance, and toilets were located in the bottom right corner.

Following the redesign, the serving area has been replaced by a dedicated hot meals section. Furthermore, the staff dining rooms have been removed to make space for a new take-away food counter and a coffee bar. A salad bar has been installed along the left wall, and the bin has been upgraded to a recycling station. Most notably, the café now includes a new outdoor seating area and a barbecue facility located outside the bottom entrance, significantly increasing the total dining capacity compared to the previous configuration.
