Architecture

This building consists of two floors. The bottom floor houses noteworthy resources available for students as well as The Bakery and rooms for meetings or classes. The upper floor functions as the main dining location with various food lines as well as seating for students, staff and guests.

The outside of the building is stylized with the same historic looking limestone fascia that is predominant of many buildings throughout campus. The renovation project ending in 2021 added a steel feature over the main entrance.

Further notable elements of this building include tunnels that connect each of the four residence halls (Ford, Haymaker, Moore and West) within the Derby complex to the dining center.
