Project

A new campus dining experience with more food options, updated equipment and multiple seating environments awaits Alma College students.

Hamilton Commons, Alma’s primary dining facility since 1968, received major renovations and a 6,000 SF addition to reflect current trends in college food service and increase seating capacity by nearly 25 percent to 450 seats.

This addition addresses food service needs and also provides enhanced social space beyond traditional dining, with Wi-Fi, a fireplace and multimedia capabilities. It’s an attractive space for prospective students considering Alma.

The facility features a permanent vegetarian station with a vegan overlay, a traditional grill for burgers and fries, a comfort food station, improved salad and dessert bars, more access to beverages, and an improved recycling area.

The project is supported by Sodexo, Alma College’s food service partner.
