On any given day at Chapin, students, faculty and staff congregate for lunch in the Gordon Room. Nourishment and fellowship, quiet conversations and vibrant group discussions — they all take place over delicious meals. The Gordon Room is so central to life at Chapin that it is hard to imagine the school without it.
So what did Chapin's lunch rooms look like in the past? Prior to the renovation of the Gordon Room in the late 1990s, lunch took place in different locations and the meals were served in a different manner. Photographs from Chapin's archives highlight these differences, but are also a reminder that lunch has always been a way for the school community to come together.
