MOUNT Charles has unveiled student restaurants in Southern Regional College’s new £35 million 14,000 square-metre landmark campus in Armagh and its new 4,500 square-metre £15 million campus in Banbridge.
The support service organisation will provide food and beverage services to college staff and students returning to undertake further and higher education qualifications or apprenticeship programmes.
The redevelopment serves as an opportunity to introduce new food and beverage offerings including the installation of Urban Square Food Co restaurants on both campuses, designed to create vibrant spaces where students can meet and collaborate.
The Mount Charles team plans to showcase healthy nutritious food in a fun and welcoming environment, with street food menus from around the world, granola bar, salad bar, vegan and regional dishes, throughout the year as well as ‘grab and go’ convenience options.
An Urban Square Coffee Co dock has also been installed in the Armagh campus, serving sweet treats and the finest barista coffee, roasted locally in Lisburn.
Mount Charles’ chairman Trevor Annon said: “These new college buildings have been designed to facilitate world class professional and technical education and training and we are delighted to provide students with nutritious, value for money, quality meals while they study here.
“We recognise the importance of working in partnership with each campus to ensure individual requirements are met and expectations are exceeded.”
Raymond Sloan, director of client services at Southern Regional College said: “Mount Charles has been successfully working in partnership with us throughout our campuses for many years.
“We believe that campus catering forms an important element in delivering a great campus experience and we’re delighted to continue to work with them.”
