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, Chicago|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.
