Cafeteria Design Contest

The Mission

With a team of one to four Delone Catholic students, develop a design to revolutionize the use of space in Delone Catholic's cafeteria, based on sound research and the flexibility to use the space for its current and anticipated uses, with an overarching goal of building community and school spirit.

This is NOT a pointless exercise - a generous donor has promised to pay for renovations according to the winning plan. (Some restrictions may apply.)
