Jury Comments: The concrete masonry very successfully links the dining commons to the historic campus context. Once through the loggia, the glass and views focus inside and outside, creating an open, light and airy, welcoming space. The building has been designed to fit comfortably with the vocabulary of materials on the campus of Harvey Mudd College. The campus, designed by Edward Durell Stone in the 1960’s and 70’s, employs a 12 x 12 x 8 beige concrete block adorned with applied square cast dentils on fascias and columns. This vocabulary has been repeated in the design of the Dining Commons. Masonry provides warm natural colors, durability and particularly substantial environment for this center of student life and activity. The building’s wall elements open at the corners to let in light and provide views down the main campus mall opening the building’s transparency to the outdoors. The plan features a variety of student dining environments. An atrium dining room in the center with a high ceiling and skylights is surrounded by a concourse for student circulation to other more secluded dining areas, servery and services. Masonry piers with lighting fixtures frame outdoor spaces for dining and relaxation. This facility provides dining seating for 420 students together with five private dining rooms for meetings and conference dining settings. The servery is an open “Mediterranean market” atmosphere to showcase display cooking for custom service and variety of many stations.
