While today Duke is known for its robust dining experience, the student dining experience has varied widely over the last 100 years. East Campus previously had three eateries, including “Downunder,” housed in the basement of then all-women Gilbert-Addoms dorm. These dining areas allowed students to gather in different spaces, facilitating social connections in a way very different from dining today.
