2006

• American School and University magazine's November 2006 issue recognizes Windsor Dining Court for Outstanding Design.

Earth-toned clay tile patterns and warm oak accents and furniture complement a welcoming, relaxed dining experience. Dining areas are separated to create a more intimate environment, and features such as a gas-log fireplace provide the look and feel of a high-end restaurant." See story.
