Designing a Modern Dining Experience for Today's Students
Scheduled for Construction – Summer 2025

Mark Design Studios Architecture, PC is honored to partner with the Copiague Union Free School District on the upcoming renovation of the Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School Cafeteria, located at 1100 Dixon Avenue in Copiague, NY. This project aims to transform the existing cafeteria into a dynamic, flexible space that supports both nourishment and community engagement for students and staff.

Project Highlights:

• Flexible Dining Areas: The redesigned cafeteria will feature a variety of seating options, including booth seating, communal tables, and quiet zones, to accommodate diverse student needs and preferences.

• Enhanced Food Service Lines: Recently upgraded serving areas streamline meal distribution, reducing wait times and improving overall efficiency during peak hours.

• Modernized Aesthetic: The renovation will incorporate contemporary finishes, improved lighting, and school branding elements to create an inviting and school-spirited environment.

• Sustainable Design: Emphasis will be placed on energy-efficient systems, durable materials, and waste-reducing features to promote environmental responsibility.

• Community-Centric Space: Beyond its role as a dining facility, the new cafeteria will serve as a versatile space for school events, meetings, professional development and social gatherings, fostering a sense of community within the school.

Construction is scheduled to commence in Summer 2025, with the newly renovated cafeteria set to open in the following academic year. Mark Design Studios Architecture is committed to delivering a facility that enhances the student experience and aligns with the district's ongoing vision for a modern, inclusive learning environment.
