Dining on Campus

Dining on Campus

Parkhurst Dining, Bard College's food service, provides a wide range of foods to meet most dietary requirements from vegetarian to vegan to gluten free, while working towards providing local foods with a focus on sustainability. Kline Commons is currently undergoing a major physical renovation with plans for an in-house bakery, full kitchen in the servery so students can see their food being cooked, and a very separate "Allergy Free Zone". Parkhurst wants to provide students with the tools they need to make healthy eating decisions in a more sustainable dining platform.


Eating Disorders

Students who are recovering or struggling with eating disorders are encouraged to make contact with Health and Counseling Services. We can provide on-campus support and coordinate with the student's primary psychiatric and nutritional team, facilitating lab work and ongoing weigh ins. We can also provide referrals to local therapists for ongoing care.
