The New Student Center and the Dining Commons are two connected projects that will enhance the Amherst experience for our entire community. Using the structure of the existing Merrill Science Building, the Center will connect upper and lower campus, offering welcoming spaces for students, faculty, and staff to gather and interact across interests and affinities. Nothing is more important than creating a place where all members of our community can come together, forge connections, and make Amherst their own.
