Dining on Campus

Eating Spaces

Please eat! Machen Hall and the Carriage House are buildings that provide places to eat.

Please do not eat in the classrooms. Out of respect for your fellow classmates and your instructors, from whom the Seminary has had abundant feedback that classroom eating compromises classroom learning, the Seminary asks that you abide by this rule. Also, please do not eat in the Library or Andreas Academic Center unless, of course, a seminary department is hosting an event which involves food.

Machen Kitchen

Machen kitchen is for the use of Machen Hall residents and seminary employees only. Please use the sink on the first floor of the Carriage House or in the student pantry in Westminster Hall for your kitchen sink needs.

Where to Wash Dishes

Please do not wash or rinse food containers or empty anything other than clear liquids in Seminary bathroom drains. Outside of the hygiene concerns of such a practice, Seminary bathroom sinks are not equipped to handle bits of food. Use the sink on the first floor of the Carriage House or in the student pantry of Westminster Hall if you need to rinse food containers or empty beverages other than clear liquids. Even in these drains, please clean food particles out of the drain. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Food Storage

Student refrigerators are in Westminster Hall's student pantry.

Other alternatives to Seminary refrigerator use is to utilize a lunchbox that keeps items adequately cool throughout the day. In addition, depending on how cold the weather is, you can safely keep your lunch in your vehicle!
