Brooks House is the home for the Center for Learning in Action, which cultivates experiential learning opportunities for students by connecting them to the community. One of the programs funded by the Center is Williams Recovery of All Perishable Surplus, which donates leftover dining hall food to local shelters.
It also provides student housing for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are three common rooms: two on the first floor and one on the ground floor, where the kitchen is located. Brooks is a part of Spencer neighborhood and has 12 doubles and four singles.
