Dining Hall Redevelopment

The new building 'Te Kete Ika' is of significance in that it represents the first major building project completed on campus since the disruptions caused by the Canterbury earthquakes. In many respects it marks the beginning of the rebuild for Lincoln University, and the beginning of the significant construction work planned for the campus and surrounding area with the upcoming Lincoln Hub project. 

The name Te Kete Ika was gifted to Lincoln University by Te Taumutu Rūnanga. The name, Te Kete Ika (and its longer title Te Kete Ika o Rākaihautū - the food/fish basket of the legendary ancestor Rākaihautū, is the traditional Maori name for Lake Ellesmere.
