Currently, the premises of the catering unit do not meet sanitary standards and requirements, which creates risks for the health of children, in fact, 70% of the equipment of the catering unit is outdated and worn out and needs to be replaced, which makes it impossible to meet the needs of all students who want to receive hot meals. The goal of the project is expected to be achieved by carrying out a major renovation of the catering unit by the end of 2026, replacing engineering networks, updating the dining hall and food preparation and distribution areas, washing area, food storage area and equipping them with modern energy-efficient technological equipment and furniture. The project envisages improving the working conditions of the catering staff and ensuring accessibility for students with limited mobility. .
