You may need to meet public health/food handling requirements in the new space, so you could start by talking to whoever will govern/inspect it.
Would any of you or your organizations permit food in a laboratory space that does not currently house chemicals, nor have current work going on with chemicals? Specifically, would
you permit a class involving food preparation to occur in a lab space that the previous semester was used for a freshman level general chemistry class, even if the area were "cleaned" and all chemicals removed?
Thanks,
