Oakwood, Ohio: kitchens and cafeterias while Smith and Harman schools are renovated
Oakwood City Schools plans full renovations of Smith and Harman elementary schools, and the district's Smith work includes the cafeteria and kitchen in summers 2027 and 2028. With modular classrooms planned for Katharine Wright Park, lunch will need some extra thought whenever a kitchen is offline.
Delivery to Oakwood starts at the Columbus warehouse, about 80 miles out. Route and timing are confirmed by the rental team.
What the district's plan says about kitchens
The master facilities plan says voters approved a 4.74-mill bond in May 2025 and that the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission announced 29 percent state co-funding that July. Design work was set to begin in spring 2026. Smith's art room, music room, gymnasium, cafeteria and kitchen are slated for renovation during summers 2027 and 2028, and Harman follows from June 2028.
The plan keeps specials and lunch running in renovated shared spaces while students are in modulars. If a school kitchen is out of service for days, the question for the district is how meals get made and served.
Permit and inspection questions
Public Health - Dayton and Montgomery County describes a food protection program covering licensing and inspection, including mobile and temporary food operations. Its municipalities page also says Oakwood maintains its own health department and receives contracted services from the county. Ask which office issues a temporary food permit in Oakwood before filing, and confirm any plan review.
Also ask the local fire authority what it wants to see for cooking equipment and fuel, and confirm that before a trailer is delivered to a school site.
A two-week kitchen gap
Suppose Smith's kitchen is out of service for about two weeks during a summer phase, and the district wants a food program for a summer session to keep running. A trailer sits on school grounds near the building, power is arranged through the district's facilities staff, and meals are prepared on site each weekday.
Rental schedule: 8 to 14 days
- 24 ft mobile kitchen: $4,995 to $7,995 per month

Why the modular plan changes the site
Master Facilities Plan, Phase 2: Harman and Smith renovations ↗
Oakwood City School District
The district's Phase 2 plan expands to full renovations of Harman and Smith, with 29 percent state co-funding and a modular campus proposed at Katharine Wright Park. Smith's cafeteria and kitchen are slated for work in summers 2027 and 2028, and substantial completion is anticipated for fall 2029.
For a kitchen rental: If a school kitchen is closed for a summer phase, a district might ask whether a temporary kitchen could cover a summer program or an events day.
The district says swing space would cut each building's timeline from 26 months to 14, with a modular campus at Katharine Wright Park between Smith and the Wright Memorial Library. Smith construction workers would park at Lane Stadium and be shuttled, and the plan mentions a traffic study.
NWS Wilmington's tornado page lists 34 tornadoes in its forecast area in 2019 and 47 in 2024, so any trailer on school grounds needs a plan for severe weather. The park is shared green space, so ground and drainage should be confirmed with the city.
A small kitchen for school meals
A school program needs a smaller line than a big-site crew.
