This dual-purpose space cultivates a learning environment for the bright minds of the Newcomb College students and a state-of-the-art dining facility unrivaled by any other college dining experience. The third level is uniquely secured with interior glazed assemblies to provide a private space for students, acoustically and mechanically isolated from the dining spaces below. Broadmoor was privileged to bring world-renowned architecture firm Weiss Manfredi’s intricately detailed and striking design to life.
