At the Loyola University Retreat and Ecology Campus, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with what they’ve learned in class – something an urban setting couldn’t provide. Read this article in the Northwest Herald about LUREC's farm and ecological restoration work. VISIT
New Duchossois Food Systems Lab and Kitchen now open at LUREC
Loyola's Retreat and Ecology Campus is thrilled to announce that its new demonstration kitchen, the Duchossois Food Systems Lab and Kitchen, is now open for classes and events. The goal of the kitchen is to bring the experience of a professional kitchen to students, community members, and others, including those not familiar with food preparation. The kitchen, in conjunction with the Retreat and Ecology Campus Farm, will allow students and guests to learn techniques that will lead to better, smarter, and healthier ways of living.
Available for retreat groups of 6-16 people, guests visiting the Retreat and Ecology Campus will now have the option to add an interactive culinary or team building event to their schedule. Some team popular team building offerings include an Iron Chef Experience, Employee Incentive Program, or Farm Workshops, and all events can be tailored to meet your group's objectives and budget.
