This structure was originally designed in the 1950's as a girl's dormitory and cafeteria. Coeducation and changes in campus life necessitated the creation of a new entrance and lobby as well as the renovation of the cafeteria. The lobby was designed to allow students to socialize in an appealing, friendly atmosphere before and after dining in the remodeled cafeteria. The cafeteria itself was redesigned with a more open floor plan to better direct the flow of traffic, and a new ceiling system was installed to improve lighting, increase acoustics and conceal the enlarged air conditioning systems. The Presidential Dining Suite with entrance canopies completed the project. Thus this building was converted from a poorly used facility to the center of student life and activity.
