"Mrs. E's," or the Ekdahl Dining Commons, is located atop Daisy Hill, adjacent to Lewis Hall. This facility features "food court-style" service where different stations offer specialized items such as pasta, salads and sandwiches, a pizzaria, and a grill. Choose from 8-10 entrees at each meal! Extended serving hours accommodate students with busy class and work schedules. The dining commons provide 700 seats on three levels, with wrap-around windows and a spectacular view of campus. It's an ideal place for meeting friends.
