Showing school pride
The team tried to incorporate Cape Henry’s brand and history when choosing the decor for the new space. A cutout of a silver dolphin (the school’s mascot) hangs on the wall near one of the serving lines and the school’s compass rose logo was built into the flooring. The space also has a large black-and-white graphic of the original school building.
While the school’s colors are red and grey, the team decided to pull back on incorporating too much red since the old cafeteria featured red on the walls, trash cans and other decor. “We tried not to do anymore red,” says director of operations Sarah Williams. “In this renovation, we didn’t replace any of our seating because it was all in good shape so that was our red element that stayed.”
