The new Melbourne Central food court

Recently, I visited the new Melbourne Central food court, not the one in the basement, next to the train station, but the newly renovated second floor food court just below the new Hoyts cinema.

Did you know they have replaced some of the tables with pseudo study desks like those you find in the libraries? They have installed study lamps as well as power sockets. Not a bad place to go to charge up the mobile phone or the laptop computer. I’m just curious as to why they did this. Trying to entice more students to study in the food court?

I guess it is an ideal location for students, its proximity to two large Universities, a cinema upstairs for those tired of studying, surrounded by food and entertainment … just like home! The only thing missing might be a shower.

    um, it’s a good idea to attract students eat in the food court.
