During the summer period, the University's food and beverage outlets operate restricted opening hours. This year, the closure of the Refectory also marks the commencement of the Student Hub project construction works, so you'll need to make doubly sure you know which outlets are open and what other options are available.

Good-bye Refectory. Hello Student Hub! 

As highlighted in previous staff announcements, the Student Hub development includes an extensive refurbishment of the existing Refectory and Senate Buildings. Consequently, the Refectory will be permanently closed from later this month, with individual closure dates shown below: 

• Absolutely Kebabulous - 28 November 2016
• Short Order Burger Company - 02 December 2016
• Aroma Cafe - 02 December 2016
• Wok Inn - 02 December 2016

Further information on the Student Hub project is available from the project microsite. 

Club Murdoch

The Student Hub development also encompasses the current Club Murdoch location, which will be relocated to the former Sir Walter's Cafe in the Library Courtyard over the summer period. This is a temporary move, pending the return of Club Murdoch to the new restaurant within the Student Hub development later next year. 

Club Murdoch will be open as usual in its current location until Friday 16 December 2016. It will re-open on Wednesday 11 January 2017 in its new temporary home in the Library courtyard. 

Guild & other outlets

The other Perth campus outlets remaining open in December will trade as follows: 

• Café Kadjininy in the South Street Library will be open until Friday 23 December 2016, reopening on Monday 9 January 2017; 
• The Tavern closes on Thursday 22 December 2016, and reopen at the start of Semester 1, 2017. 
• Bang Bang Speciality Coffee remains trading from their ECL Courtyard Coffee Cart until Friday 16 December 2016, reopening on Monday 9 January 2017. Watch out for earlier than usual closing times; and
• Campus Asian Foods closes Thursday 15 December 2016, and reopens in February 2017. 

A printed copy of the full opening hours is available from the entrance to the Refectory. 

The Pop-Up Ref and Food Trucks

To supplement the reduced number of food outlets before the Limited Service Period commences, a number of Food Trucks and other mobile vendors will be located in Upper Bush Court, nearby the Library entrance and The Nexus Theatre, from 5 December 2016 until 23 December 2016. 

From early January 2017, the Pop-Up Ref will open as our new home for Food Trucks. The Pop-Up Ref is located South of The Broadwalk path, down the steps from Bush Court to the east of GCL1 and The Nexus Theatre. The Pop-Up Ref will open from early January. Watch out for signage and further announcements closer to the time. 

Rockingham

The Open Book Cafe on the University's Rockingham campus closes on Friday 9 December 2016, reopening on Monday 9 January 2017.
