The goal of the project is to create conditions for high-quality and safe food preparation to provide all participants in the educational process with rational, safe and high-quality food, create a safe and healthy environment for students and school staff according to modern standards (HACCP), introduce new cooking technologies, increase the energy efficiency of the catering unit through the use of modern energy-saving equipment, which allows reducing the level of water and electricity consumption, as well as meet the requirements for occupational health and safety in the educational institution. Lyceum No. 17 "Intellect" of the Poltava City Council was built in 1992, when the institution began its activities. The lyceum building has three floors. The dining room is located on the first floor. The current contingent of the institution is 1,516 students in grades 1-11 and 134 employees (of which 95 are teachers). The staff is actively and persistently working to create comfortable conditions for education and development of students, a safe space for all participants in the educational process.  The dining room is an important component of the lyceum's activities, as much attention is paid to healthy eating and the promotion of a healthy eating culture. Currently, 906 students in grades 1-11 are covered by hot meals, of which 706 are students of preferential categories, 200 students eat at the expense of their parents. Unfortunately, the premises and equipment of the dining block are currently outdated and require major repairs. There is a need to zone the territory. Equipment and appliances need to be replaced with modern ones. Ceramic tiles on the floor and walls are in poor condition. Electrical networks are worn out, do not meet modern requirements and are unable to ensure the functioning of existing electrical appliances. The catering unit requires a high-quality modern electrical network with high conductivity and energy efficiency. The condition of the plumbing networks is unsatisfactory, which causes numerous inconveniences during work in the kitchen. The sewage system and drainage pipes require urgent and high-quality replacement. The exhaust system works poorly, only partially performing the functions assigned to it. The catering unit is constantly stuffy, the air is oversaturated with fumes generated during cooking. In addition, the old-style ventilation and exhaust system takes up a large area. Installation of a modern sanitary zone for dining room workers – an important factor in creating comfortable working conditions with high  quality results. There is a request to change the image and design of the dining hall, which should become a place for diverse, balanced and high-quality nutrition, forming in the participants of the educational process an understanding of the dependence of health and psychological state on high-quality nutrition. Currently, there are two shelters in the basement and ground floor of the institution, each of which has two entrances, with a total area of 703 sq.m. for a total capacity of 1005 people. This made it possible to start the academic year in a mixed format and teach offline in the institution 850 students at the same time. Both shelters are equipped with ventilation, permanent and emergency lighting, a free WI-FI access point, and equipped toilets. Work has begun on expanding and equipping the third shelter (480 sq.m.)
