Manchester City’s City Football Academy required a modernised refectory to cater to its academy scholars, women’s team, and supporting staff. Dawnvale was tasked with creating a space that prioritised nutrition, functionality, and comfort.

Our expert fit-out team transformed the dining area into a high-performance environment, integrating bespoke solutions to enhance dining, storage, and breakout areas.

STATE-OF-THE-ART REFRIGERATION

A key component of the project was the installation of advanced frost-tops, ensuring ingredients remain at optimal freshness throughout service. This innovation supports the club’s commitment to elite nutrition, allowing chefs to prepare meals with the highest-quality produce while maintaining efficiency during peak dining hours.

BESPOKE DINING SOLUTIONS

To enhance the dining experience, we installed custom-made tables tailored to the space and its users. These tables offer both aesthetic appeal and practical comfort, accommodating various team needs, from quick meals to extended discussions. The use of high-quality materials ensures durability while complementing the academy’s modern interior.

OPTIMISED STORAGE AND ORGANISATION

Recognising the importance of seamless kitchen operations, we implemented improved storage solutions. By optimising shelving, refrigeration, and pantry areas, we have maximised space efficiency, making it easier for catering teams to manage ingredients and equipment. This enhances both workflow and accessibility, reducing downtime during food preparation.

ENHANCED BREAKOUT + MEETING AREAS

Beyond dining, the refectory serves as a multifunctional space with upgraded breakout and meeting areas. Designed to foster collaboration and relaxation, these additions provide staff with comfortable spaces to unwind or hold informal discussions. This thoughtful design ensures the refectory is not just a place to eat but a hub for engagement and recovery.
