A new era for our Dining Hall


The beating heart of Trinity College will undergo major renovations in 2023.  

The opening of the Dorothy Jane Ryall building (‘Dorothy’) in 2020 enabled more residential students to join the Trinity community, taking our total number of residents to 380.  

Our Dining Hall now requires additional capacity to be able to seat all students simultaneously, as communal dining is one of the things that makes the Trinity College experience so special. It’s over a meal that many achievements are celebrated, inspirational speakers heard, notices communicated and friendships made. 

To this end, we have begun a redevelopment of the Dining Hall and surrounding facilities, known collectively as the Kitchens Precinct. The renewed space will honour the existing design aesthetic, which is well recognised as a defining feature of the College.
