History
Designed by NTD Architects, the Hoch-Shanahan Dining Commons was built in 2005 over the area where the Scripps College swimming pool used to be.
The commons is the second facility at Harvey Mudd College certified under LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) guidelines. The dining facility was named for trustees Richmond J. Hoch ’63 and his wife, Diane, and R. Michael Shanahan and his wife, Mary.
With more than 28,000 square feet, the dining commons features open exhibition kitchen areas, seating for nearly 500, a state-of-the-art pizza oven and a rotisserie oven.
Hoch-Shanahan offers five private dining rooms, two dining patios, supporting kitchen and storage spaces, along with office space and locker rooms for the 50 employees who prepare meals and serve more than 1,600 diners each day.
