Welcome to McEwen Dining Hall, the heart of culinary delight at Elon University. This expansive dining complex, masterfully expanded by Samet, houses an array of celebrated food outlets such as Pei Wei, Knead, Village Juice Co., Home and Away, and Greens and Grains. With a total size of 30,000 SF, it is designed to serve an expanding student community and accommodate their wide-ranging dietary preferences.

The grandeur of McEwen Dining Hall is not only marked by its size and variety of food outlets, but also by its unique architecture. This two-story complex features an elegant atrium connecting the first and second floors, creating a sense of space and connectedness. The eye-catching staircases within a glass entrance provide a panoramic view of the courtyard, which doubles as an additional seating space. There’s more to McEwen than just food; it’s a place where architecture, food, and community intertwine, creating a unique dining experience.
