New and Improved
R&DE Stanford Dining's Arrillaga Family Dining Commons is the first dining hall to be built on the Stanford campus in almost 20 years. It is located at the corner of Escondido Road and Arguello Way. This dining hall is the primary dining location for Crothers and Toyon students, and won First Place in the Montague Suite Dreams Design Challenge.
State-of-the-art
This two-story dining facility incorporates the best in culinary, sustainability, technology and community building design. The 26,000-square-foot dining pavilion features a cooking suite as the centerpiece of the Culinary Studio. Here students, faculty and staff learn under the curriculum established by R&DE Stanford Dining's award winning culinary team through cooking classes and demonstrations. With video cameras at the cooking station, large student audiences are able to engage in the cooking production. R&DE Stanford Dining's frequent partnership with celebrity chefs ensures the topics and guest speakers remain contemporary and dynamic.
Performance Dining
Arrillaga Family Dining Commons hosts the Performance Dining program, which was developed in partnership with Stanford Athletics, School of Medicine and the Culinary Institute of America. This involves synergistic food combinations and the promotion of antioxidants and other nutrients to help students perform at their mental and physical peak. R&DE Stanford Dining employs a full-time Wellness and Performance Dining Nutritionist, who counsels students and student athletes, and consults for groups such as the athletics department. Wellness and Performance Dining falls under our EatWell program, which encompasses fresh, healthy and sustainable food.
