Hradec Králové is preparing to modernise the catering pavilion of Základní škola Sever in Lužická Street in Slezské Předměstí. The investment will exceed 38 million crowns; the city hall informed of the plan in a press release quoted by the daily Deník.[1][2]
The construction work covers both floors of the pavilion. On the ground floor, the cooking area, the serving area and the dishwashing area will be refitted; in the canteen, the ventilation will be modernised and acoustic adjustments made; and new staff facilities will be created in the basement. The project also includes renewal of technical distribution systems, rooms for refrigerating and freezing food, a new lift for transporting ingredients and structural reinforcement of the ceiling beneath the cooking area.[1]
Construction is to begin in early 2027 and finish in the summer before the new school year. The city will pay almost 26 million crowns excluding VAT for it. New catering equipment worth more than 12 million crowns excluding VAT is to be installed in May 2027. The supplier will store some of the recently purchased appliances, reinstall them after the work is finished, train the staff and provide a three-year warranty service.[1][2]
During the reconstruction, lunches for pupils will be prepared by the school canteen next to the Střední škola profesní přípravy in 17. listopadu Street. A temporary serving area will be set up in one of the school's wings. Mayor Pavlína Springerová said the modernisation is meant to ensure a good and functional environment for school catering. The school is designed for 600 pupils and its grounds were built in the 1970s.[1][2]
