Trinity’s Campus Security team declared 2025 Team of the Year

Posted on: 01 May 2025

Trinity’s Campus Security team has won two awards from the Association of University Directors of Estates (AUDE) which celebrate excellence in the strategic planning, management, operation and development of Higher Education estates and facilities. 

The team was declared Estates/Facilities Team of the Year 2025 at the AUDE Conference Awards Dinner and also won a Bronze award in the EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) category for work on student mental health and wellbeing.  

They received the awards from Colin Jackson, a former World Champion and Olympic athlete (pictured above with the team from left Paul O'Connell, Zachary Chambers (barely seen), Niall Hanrahan, John O'Rourke and Mike Clark).  

Mike Clark, Director of Campus Infrastructure at Trinity, said: “We are absolutely delighted that we have won these awards, which are judged by our peers and are therefore exceptionally meaningful. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone whose work contributed to this success. Special credit goes to Security Operations Manager Zachary Chambers, Campus Services Manager David Marley and Stephen Toomey, Head of Facilities Management.” 

In 2024, Zachary Chambers (above, in centre) won a Civic Starter Award at Trinity for his project to help security staff to administer mental health first aid to students experiencing a mental health crisis outside of daytime hours. This project will be delivered in partnership with Trinity Students Union and Trinity’s Student Counselling Services.
