New for Fall 2026: Holmes Dining Hall is getting a bit of a face lift in the next couple of months! Along with new flooring, tables and chairs, and seating arrangements, Holmes Dining Hall will have some new features. These new designs will support all day use, creating spaces where students can study and socialize individually or in groups, as the dining hall will remain open throughout the day. We will share more information once construction is under way this summer. We are very excited for you all to see the changes we’re making!
