The Scott Center is at 46 South Street, next door to the Community Engagement interest house. See a walking map. It provides a warm, spacious and wheelchair-accessible home for celebrations, meetings and gatherings of all kinds. The house is vegetarian only, so that everyone feels comfortable sharing the kitchen and equipment. We provide the following:
- full kitchen with industrial dishwasher
- large dining room that comfortably seats groups of up to 18
- meditation room
- screen porch with Adirondack chairs in the good weather
- sunny deck
- comfortable living room that seats groups up to 15
- fully handicapped accessible
Campus groups are welcome to schedule meetings and events here; please fill out and submit our Request to Schedule Use of 46 South Street Facilities, at least TWO FULL WORK DAYS IN ADVANCE. Contact Ellen McKay Jewett at emckay@middlebury.edu if you have questions. You will need to come in prior to your first scheduled meeting to get an overview of the facility.
The Crest Room
The Crest Room in the McCullough Student Center is our new on-campus location. Features include the following:
- big round table upstairs in the balcony that seats 12
- balcony lounge area with upholstered furniture
- meditation cushions
- fridge, microwave, convection oven (but no sink)
The Crest Room is used by various student groups for religious observance, so we have a few guidelines we ask you to follow when you are here:
- Please remove your shoes as this is a shoeless space.
- Please do not bring food in without staff supervision.
Contact Ellen McKay Jewett at emckay@middlebury.edu if you are interested in scheduling your gathering.
