The project
FDP designed the food service for Bailey Junior High in Arlington ISD, built to move a full campus through breakfast and lunch quickly while giving the space real school spirit. The serving area runs multiple parallel serving lines wrapped in bold “Home of the Bailey Rams” graphics, with overhead menu boards, hot wells, cold pans, and dedicated pizza and grab-and-go stations so students can split across lines instead of waiting in one.
Behind the servery, FDP specified a complete scratch-cooking production kitchen — stacked convection and combi ovens under exhaust hoods, a tilting braising pan, walk-in cooler and freezer, dry storage, hot-holding cabinets, and a dedicated warewashing room — along with the point-of-sale and queuing layout that keeps the lines flowing.
The result is a durable, high-capacity junior high cafeteria that serves fast, cooks fresh on site, and looks like it belongs to the Rams.
