"An oval-shaped building that seats 225 and features a hearth oven, Atwater Commons Dining Hall has high sloped ceilings and a window wall with views of the town of Middlebury and the Green Mountains. Diners can also see their food being prepared as they pass through an open serving and cooking area. Skylights, a student lounge, a reception area, a seminar room, and an exterior patio with a fireplace also are on the main level. The dining hall is set into a hillside to reduce its visual impact, and it makes extensive use of natural light and wood harvested with sustainable methods. It has a vegetated roof that will provide enhanced insulation and reduce storm-water runoff. " — Chronicle of Higher Education
