A new neighborhood of the Whittle-Johson and Pyon-Chen residence halls and a dining facility creates a unified home for the University of Maryland Honors College, its largest and most prestigious living-learning community. The residence halls include 900 beds, creating a more balanced mix of student accommodations near dining, classrooms, study and collaboration spaces, and offices for University Honors faculty. The focus of the dining facility is the holistic nourishment of its 5,000 daily users, while reducing landfill waste and achieving high sustainability standards. Combining a well-designed dining space and menu with comfortable accommodations, proximity to a variety of academic spaces, and the close integration of University Honors faculty, the new precinct signifies a bold new era of student-centered excellence in facilities at the university.
