Hutchinson Commons

Hutchinson Commons at the University of Chicago is a dining hall and lounge for university students and professors.
It was modeled, nearly identically, on the hall of Christ [Church, Oxford|Christ Church], one of Oxford University's constituent colleges. The great room measures, and was for many years the principal site of convocations of the university. It is located in Chicago's Hyde Park community and is currently used as a dining hall and lounge for university students and professors. The building was donated to the University by the banker, philanthropist and university trustee and treasurer Charles L. Hutchinson through a donation of $60,000 for the purpose.
