Martin Luther King Jr. Dining Commons- Berkeley, CA

The creation of a new Dining Commons providing seated dining at lunch and a kitchen adequately sized to prepare those lunches with significant student volunteer involvement is one of the three distinct interconnected elements of the Edible Schoolyard Program.

Adopting ecological principles of design, the Dining Commons is a new building that houses a dining facility for the students. Food will be prepared for approximately 700 to 900 students daily for breakfast and lunch. Seating will be provided for a maximum of 500 at one time.
