The West Campus has become an everyday part of Yale with a bustling community of scholars now reaching over 1600 residents. The dining program is designed to complement these programs; the open kitchen allows diners to view food as it is being prepared and encourage interdisciplinary networking among students, visitors and researchers.
Yale’s West Campus straddles the West Haven-Orange line, just off I-95 exit 41. The Campus is home to Yale School of Nursing and seven research institutes focused on scholarship in health, culture, energy and the environment.
West Campus accepts Eli Bucks and credit cards (cashless).
