Overlooking a pond on the north edge of Goldsworth Drive, sits WMU’s new Valley Dining Center. The 64,860 sf facility seats 1,000 guests, houses nine micro-restaurants, and achieved LEED Gold status in it’s construction. Making a contribution to that outstanding award in eco-friendliness were the hall’s communal dining tables, outfitted with TorZo tops in Orient Natural. The organic texture and color are a perfect connection to the forested view from the windows.
