Should locker banks be placed in or near the breakroom?

Placing lockers near the breakroom is common and practical: employees can store lunch bags and personal items close to where they eat, and the breakroom is already a non-focus zone where the noise of locker access is acceptable. However, food storage in personal lockers raises hygiene concerns — food smells, spills, and pests. If lockers will be used for food storage, ensure the locker area has good ventilation, and consider providing a separate refrigerator for perishables to minimize food storage inside lockers. A better placement strategy is to put lockers at the office entry so employees drop personal items before going to their work area, keeping the office itself cleaner and more organized.
