About Swarthmore’s Dining and Community Commons advances the College’s “To Zero by Thirty-Five” initiative with a mass timber, all-electric, net-zero-ready facility. Designed for student well-being and flexibility, it features biophilic design, daylight-filled dining spaces, and repurposed Sharples Hall, giving new life to an important campus landmark. Rooftop solar, rainwater harvesting, and a red-list-free material selection process support a vibrant, healthy campus hub to advance sustainability and inclusion.
