RECENT projectS
Kitchens precinct redevelopment

The redevelopment of the College’s Dining Hall and surrounding areas – known collectively as the Kitchens Precinct – was driven by the opening of Dorothy in 2020, a residential building that increased on-campus accommodation by almost 100 students.

Commencing in late 2022, the redevelopment was designed to modernise the precinct, ensuring the Dining Hall could accommodate all students and staff at once, while also enhancing the Vatican Lawn area and strengthening its connection to Dorothy.

Preserving the Dining Hall’s historic character was a key priority throughout the project, ensuring one of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP’s most cherished spaces remained at the heart of campus life.

The newly expanded Dining Hall, the A C C Farran Hall, opened in 2025.
