Griffith bookings
Hundreds of Griffith's staff and students enjoy the facilities of the EcoCentre every year. Booking is simple and we take care of room set-ups and through a delegate package can arrange catering from tea and coffee on arrival through to a full conference dinner. Alternatively, you can arrange your own catering directly through campus life.
The Griffith Business School has used the EcoCentre for numerous events and activities over the past 5 years. It is an excellent facility, and our experiences have always been positive. We particularly like to use the facility as it showcases the beautiful, natural surrounds of Toohey Forest. The emphasis on sustainable practices is also something which resonates with the School. The staff are professional and accommodating. I would have no hesitation in recommending it as a suitable venue for events, conferences or seminars.
- Lisa Cotterell, Executive Officer to the Pro Vice Chancellor (Business) and Manager, Communications, Griffith Business School
The EcoCentre has been a great venue for holding short training and development courses, management programs and an interesting starting point for the staff orientation tours that the Office of Human Resource Management organises every year. The facilities are clean and welcoming for staff who are attending a full day workshop and I have always found the staff at the centre to be friendly and helpful if I need assistance.
- Chris Reilly, Human Resource Advice (Staff Development), Office of Human Resource Management
