Article: From Garage to Food Tech Classroom
A Small Space with Big Impact
By combining thoughtful design, practical solutions and collaborative working, Witley Jones helped Lancing College transform an unconventional space into a bright, flexible Food Technology classroom.
What was once a small garage is now a vibrant learning environment – one that supports engaging lessons today while offering the flexibility to adapt for future teaching needs.
Integrated equipment
Food Technology rooms need to balance the ‘kitchen feel’ with being a practical and well-thought-out teaching space.
Seamless integration of power sources, and white goods, as well as ample storage, are fundamentals when considering how your space is utilised to its fullest potential.
High quality and long lasting materials
Due to the nature of the subjects, it is essential that your furniture is manufactured using the highest quality and durable materials due to the heavy use of the classrooms.
We manufacture worktops using Trespa, a durable material that you can trust and is easy to clean helping to maintain high levels of food hygiene.
Essential Storage Furniture
Introducing the maximum quantity of cupboards, draws and cabinets in Food Tech and Textiles classrooms is vital to provide enough storage space for personal belongings, ingredients, equipment and materials.
Careful consideration needs to be taken to ensure that storage furniture is neatly housed around the space and provides easy access for students.

Food Tech & Textiles Furniture FAQ
A UK school food technology classroom requires fully equipped student cooking stations with integrated ovens, hobs, and sinks, alongside a dedicated teacher demonstration area for guided learning. Furniture should include heat-resistant worktops, hygienic storage for ingredients and equipment, and layouts designed to support KS3 and GCSE practical lessons while allowing clear supervision of the whole class.
A well-designed food technology classroom balances practical cooking space with safe movement and supervision. This typically includes island or perimeter workstation layouts, clear walkways, and zoning between preparation, cooking, and cleaning areas. Good design also considers ventilation, easy-clean surfaces, and safe integration of utilities such as gas, electric, and water to meet UK school safety standards.
Bespoke food technology furniture allows schools to tailor their classrooms to specific room sizes, student numbers, and curriculum needs. Custom-designed solutions make better use of space, improve workflow during practical lessons, and ensure appliances and services are safely integrated. Working with providers of bespoke school furniture helps create durable environments that support long-term use and evolving teaching requirements.
