Moulton College Food & Drink Innovation Centre 

Built for Creativity and Compliance

The building houses:

• Commercial-grade food preparation and test kitchens

• A sensory testing suite and product development kitchen

• A micro-brewery

• Flexible seminar and teaching rooms

Circulation and spatial zoning were carefully developed to support industry-standard food hygiene protocols, with clear boundaries between raw and clean areas, dry and wet zones, and front and back-of-house spaces.

The micro-brewerly helps to students to experience the whole process from ‘field-to-fork’, or in this case bottle, with ingredients sourced from the College’s fields and students learning about not only the process of making the beer, but also packaging design and marketing.

A Rural Hub for Modern Enterprise

Sited within Moulton’s agricultural campus, the centre reflects both its local context and its forward-thinking mission. Design features include:

• Simple profiled steel-clad volumes to create a modern agricultural aesthetic

• A bright and airy reception space with a welcoming open plan office

• Generous windows and internal glazing for daylight and visibility

• A photovoltaic covered roof

The overall feel is practical but professional, communicating ambition while remaining grounded in agricultural education.
