Scope note(s)

  • The first dining hall was located in the basement of School House (now Colley House). A dedicated Dining hall building was constructed in 1961. The John Guest Dining Hall was formally dedicated on Nov. 25, 1961. It was created as part of the 50th Anniversary Building Campaign. This dining hall was 90 feet long by 40 feet wide and sate 250 individuals. Students would sit at long tables with a teacher at the head to serve them their food. The dining hall was designed by Architects Marani, Morris & Allan and built by W.H. Cooper Construction Co. Limited. In 1987 the Dining Hall replaced waited table service (except at lunch) for Cafeteria style service at breakfast and dinner. The John Guest Dining Hall was used until 2007 when it was torn down to make room for the new Schlesinger Dining Hall.
