This project provides for the overhaul of the premises of the catering unit and the dining room of the Staroushytsky Lyceum: replacement of doors, repair of the floor covering, repair of the finishing layer of the walls, installation of suspended ceilings, replacement of radiators of the heating system, replacement of the power supply and electric lighting system, replacement of elements of the water supply and sewage system, replacement of the ventilation system, installation of new technological equipment. The organization of meals in the lyceum, as in the community as a whole, is an important and priority task. To improve the quality of food, the menu is systematically changed, new dishes are updated and added in accordance with the collection of Yevhen Klopotenko. Modernization of dining rooms (dining rooms) is one of the components of the reform of the school nutrition system. Carrying out a complex of works, installation of new technological equipment will create a positive and attractive dining room environment, will make it possible to prepare a multi-profile menu and offer children dishes to choose from, which in turn will be an impetus for increasing the number of children eating in the school cafeteria.

The key problems that the project aims to solve are caused by the critical technical condition of the Staroushytsky Lyceum's catering unit, where equipment and engineering networks have not been updated since the institution was founded. The existing material and technical base has a degree of wear of over 80%, which contradicts modern energy efficiency and sanitary safety standards. The main challenge in ensuring the proper functioning of the Staroushytsky Lyceum's catering unit is the complete non-compliance of the material and technical base with modern energy efficiency and sanitary and hygienic standards. Outdated stoves with faulty burners and small-sized ovens not only consume excessive amounts of electricity, but also artificially restrain the production capacity of the dining room, which makes it impossible to quickly and qualitatively prepare meals for a large number of students. The problem is exacerbated by unsatisfactory ventilation. The urgency of solving these problems right now is due to the need to implement school nutrition reform and comply with the requirements of the HACCP system (ISO 22000), which are mandatory for educational institutions. In modern conditions, when energy independence and children's safety are priorities, the operation of emergency equipment becomes financially burdensome and risky. If these issues are not resolved, there are serious risks of a complete shutdown of the catering unit due to the failure of outdated networks, deterioration of the sanitary and epidemiological condition of the premises due to humidity, and the inability to provide more than 240 students with hot lunches, which directly threatens the health and harmonious development of children. The implementation of the project will provide comprehensive positive changes. It is expected that the installation of a modern distribution line with built-in cooking pots will allow maintaining the temperature of the first courses at +75°C, and the second courses at no lower than +65°C in accordance with the Sanitary Regulations. Upgrading the sewage system using modern grease traps will reduce the frequency of network maintenance by 4 times. In addition to direct budget savings on energy and repairs, the project will allow automating up to 70% of the primary processing processes of products, which will free up staff time to improve the quality of cooking. This will create a safe and modern environment that corresponds to the status of a key educational institution and ensures the health of the younger generation.
