Home to the Faculty Heads of Atwater Commons, it hosts numerous functions for faculty, students, and staff in this space, which is envisioned as a warm, home-away-from-home environment where intellectual and social exchanges between and among these groups can occur. A path leads from the Commons to the House, and along the way one can find Kate Owens' "Hieroglyphics for the Ear," a work of public art for the building.
