Awaiting you on campus is Vanderbilt University's award-winning dining services. Most conference meals will be served in the Commons Center, our new dining facility and community square. Its state-of-the-art Food Gallery includes salad bars with sizzle stations, specialty pizza, Chef's table, and vegan/ vegetarian options. The Commons Dining Center is the focal point of the campus community. Its central location and comfortable atmosphere provide conference attendees an opportunity to gather, socialize, and interact.

Conference guests must purchase a conference meal plan, which consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner for each night they stay at Vanderbilt. Other dining options include catered meals and breaks, and meals delivered to alternate locations such as a residence hall or other university facilities.

Vanderbilt University is the first university in the state to be recognized for environmentally friendly construction by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Green Building Rating system.
