Since its creation in 1997, the University has continued to develop substantially over the years. Tricon provided detailed concepts and foodservice design support for the University's new catering operations on campus. Foodservice was to be integral to supporting the innovative style of the design and acting as a catalyst for movement.

Tricon developed a complete catering brief - from advising on the appropriate level of catering to designing kitchen layouts capable of delivering menu, operational concepts and meeting projected demand.

Tricon was appointed by the design and build contractor to review the clients outline designs and ensure the layout was fit for purpose to meet their design liabilities. This critique resulted in a revisit of the design principles to reduce capital and space requirements and improve operating efficiencies of the design. We then prepared a fully coordinated tender design package.
