The project
FDP designed the cafeteria food service for Adams Middle School in Grand Prairie ISD as a food court built around the school’s Panther identity. A bold black-panther mural in the Adams gold and navy anchors the room, and the serving area is organized into themed micro-restaurant venues — Luigi’s Eatery, Ballpark Classics, Gourmet Greens, Adobe Grill, and Traditional Cuisine — each with its own signage so students head straight to what they want.
The serving lines run quartz-topped counters with ribbed stainless fronts, hot wells, cold pans, refrigerated grab-and-go and snack merchandising, and point-of-sale stations positioned to split the crowd across multiple lines. Tall windows wash the dining room in daylight, and FDP coordinated the back-of-house kitchen and equipment package that supplies every venue through the lunch rush.
The outcome
The finished cafeteria turns a single lunch period into a food-court experience — more variety, faster lines, and a space that looks and feels like it belongs to the Panthers.
