The new ICHM campus sits in the heart of Adelaide’s CBD on Currie Street and celebrates the heart of what they do best- hospitality- providing spaces that are industry-leading, warm and welcoming. Designed by Liquid Design in close collaboration with ICHM staff, project managed by Trice and built by SHAPE, the campus is driven by student-centric learning.
Leading research about educational spaces informed the design decisions, resulting in 10 collaborative teaching studios, the latest educational technology, social student hubs, and practice-leading wellbeing spaces for students and staff alike. One of the most unique spaces in the three-story campus is the dedicated training bar and wine room. A fully equipped cocktail bar, training room and wine tasting facilities sit at the centre of the campus, for students to practice mixology, food and beverage service and wine tasting before they go out to work in industry, the key to ICHM’s unique strength in hospitality education.
While these features are bold and exciting, ICHM have also considered the small touches. The campus features several biophilic design elements, like green walls and live plants. These touches create a peaceful and inspiring area for study, and make the campus feel genuinely inviting. Steering away from generic teaching spaces, the campus is more of a home away from home, especially for international students living in Adelaide during their studies. ICHM wanted these students to feel a sense of ownership and belonging on campus.
ICHM is leading change by educating students to be future equipped and ready to join the workforce as high performing talent. They believe their new campus will play a big part in giving students the skills, networks and hands-on experience to hit the ground running, further strengthening ICHM’s relationship to the Hospitality industry within Australia and around the world.
