Fear of Albany’s Kebab Shop and Sushi Lounge shutting down loom

While it’s confirmed that Massey University is shutting down Albany’s Quad A, Quad B and the Business School buildings, discussion about the fate of the beloved food stalls is about to start. 

Shelley Turner, deputy vice-chancellor university services said the university will be entering discussions with tenants about plans to relocate activities from Quad B, and current and future leases.  

She said, “We acknowledge the need to provide students and staff with quality food and beverage options on campus.” 

Turner said workshops with staff and students will be held on the Auckland campus to reimagine the campus for the future, “Part of this could include seeking thoughts on what food and beverage providers they may like to see on campus in the future.” 

Workshops dates would not be provided as they are unconfirmed.  

While Food for Thought remains for residents residing in the halls, Campus Kebab and Sushi Lounge would be sorely missed by students and faculty who frequent them daily.  

Student and lover of the food stalls, Kevin You said, “It's irresponsible to just get rid of these two unique food stalls. They offer diverse options that cater to international students' tastes.” 

“The university should think more about what students actually need and experience, not just focus on management and planning.”  

“We really hope the campus can provide more dining options, not just limit us to one restaurant.”
