The dining hall on the lower level of Thurston Hall will create a first-rate on-campus dining experience for students and bring them together around food in a way that is critical to social connectivity for this new generation of students. Providing students with healthy and affordable meals every day is fundamental to fostering a safe and caring environment. The dining hall will be a place of connection, where students from diverse cultures and backgrounds can come together to break bread. Many Thurston alumni cherish memories of sharing countless meals with friends in the dining hall that previously existed in Thurston Hall. However, for the past few decades, GW students have preferred the flexibility of grab-and-go options for food. While the university will continue to offer these selections, it is time we also provide students an exclusively GW space to gather with their friends over a meal.

The courtyard is the central feature of the reimagined Thurston Hall. The courtyard will be covered by an innovative transparent roof to ensure that the space can be used in any season despite the weather. This transparent roof will also allow natural light to stream in, creating a bright space for students to gather. The structure of the reimagined Thurston Hall has been carefully designed to ensure that the appropriate amount of light will enter the interior glass spaces throughout the day and year. The courtyard is divided into two areas, the lower and upper courtyard. Both will feature diverse seating options so that students can use the space for whatever needs they have, whether that be studying, eating, or meeting with friends. The courtyard also features an array of greenery in plant boxes to complete the outdoor feel. While most of GW’s campus is public to the rest of D.C., this area can only be accessed by those in the GW community, giving students an “outdoor” space that they can truly own unlike any other on campus.
