Two new monumental stairs were constructed, and a skylight installed above the two-story space.

The Dining building dates from the 1960’s, and required a substantial renovation including a complete demolition and reconstruction of the dining hall, kitchen and servery. The project includes a 350 seat dining hall, kitchen, servery, art gallery, the Holton Arms Founder’s room, advancement offices, and conference rooms. Additionally the exterior dining terrace was reconstructed to improve water tightness and durability. Daylighting was provided by the use of Solatubes.
