Serving Up Improved Dining at Hill House

Serving Up Improved Dining at Hill House

Centered at the hub of campus life, a newly renovated Hill House dining servery, scheduled to open in Spring 2025, will meet the needs of today’s Choate community. The expanded servery will offer more space and flexibility to offer regional, international, and cultural cuisine as well as a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy aware offerings. Facility improvements will also address student wellness concerns, as the improved circulation will allow students to be served quickly and efficiently, providing more time for healthy and enjoyable dining amid busy schedules. Recognizing the importance of community dining, the expansion will improve food service while keeping the traditional Hill House dining experience intact.

New and updated features of the servery include:

  • Expansion from 1,500 square feet to more than 4,500 square feet
  • 200 additional linear feet of serving counter
  • Improved circulation and flow based on dining patterns
  • Designed for rapid and consistent replenishment of daily offerings
  • Addition of more "live-cook" stations
  • Dedicated serving space for plant-based and allergy-aware dishes
  • All-electric cooking, including new induction cooking capabilities
  • New pizza oven
  • New dish return and washing area
  • New lighting and windows to make the space open and inviting
  • Dining hall character and capacity maintained

Site work for the project has already begun.  A temporary dining facility is currently under construction in the old student activities center.
