High School Food Lab

[vegas paul]

I remember when it used to be called "Home Economics", but I guess that's not PC anymore...

How do you classify and treat these classrooms/labs that have multiple food preparation stations (kitchens) with residential appliances? Cooking and preparation goes on all day as they teach various food-related classes.

Hoods? Grease Interceptors? Is it a commercial kitchen? (It's not residential!)

Let me know how you approach it. Thanks.

We treat them as a classroom and require (1) Type K for every 2 stovetops and since it will work on Class A fuels also this is all they need around the stoves. They must still maintain the complement of B.C rated extinguishers within the travel distances of NFPA 10 also. They call them "Life Skills" now in our region.
