Whitney Sustainable Dining Hall
In the Fall of 2006, Whitney dining hall took on a new, more environmentally friendly purpose.  Located in East dormitories, this cozy dining facility has become the center of sustainable dining at UConn. Partnering with the Local Routes program, Whitney developed new recipes, re-wrote its menus, and trained new chefs to become the UConn dining hall focused on providing local cuisine to students.  Produce found at Whitney originated from the student-run EcoGarden located near campus, UConn’s Cage-Free eggs, and other Connecticut and New England farms.

Fostering sustainable dining camaraderie,  Whitney hosted A New England Winter’s Feast in December 2006.  Over 500 diners supported New England food producers while enjoying the local food and friendly atmosphere.

At the end of the day, all dining equipment was washed to immaculate perfection with high-efficiency dishwashers.
