| The rapid increase in the size of the student body in the early 1960s and growth of the Orchard Hill dormitories led to a demand for a new dining commons, and Franklin Dining Commons was built in a convenient location en route from the dormitories to the academic buildings. Sometimes called the Copper Kettle because of its copper roof, the building has modern interiors that complement the exterior design. The walk-up ramp to the second floor was considered a model of efficiency. | The rapid increase in the size of the student body in the early 1960s and growth of the Orchard Hill dormitories led to a demand for a new dining commons, and Franklin Dining Commons was built in a convenient location en route from the dormitories to the academic buildings.
