Hampton University Dining Hall
The 80,000 square-foot facility is housed on two levels, with the second floor set back from the main facade to create a two-story atrium along the waterfront. The main floor houses a central dining area, the second floor houses a full service food court and administration areas. To maximize the benefit of its prime waterfront location, the composition of the building was designed to accommodate views of downtown Hampton through a three story convex glass curtain wall that is the length of the building.
The Holly Tree
Holly Tree is open for indoor dining! Please feel free to dine in or carry-out. A historic establishment with roots dating back to 1888. Originally conceived and constructed by Hampton students, this three-story building has played various roles over the years. It served as a residence hall for single women, faculty and staff, and currently houses students. Adjoined to the Inn, you’ll find a welcoming dining room reserved for faculty, staff, and their visitors.
Hampton University is taking dining to the next level with the launch of Starship Delivery robots!
