Hilton Library, the Colavita Center for Italian Food and Wine, the J. Willard Marriott Education Center, the Marriott Pavilion (featuring the 800-seat Ecolab Auditorium), and the General Foods Nutrition Center. Also on campus: the Student Commons, which offers athletic and fitness facilities in the Student Recreation Center and various dining options in The Egg, the popular student hangout that includes a student-run craft beer brewery and a student-created pop-up restaurant.
