Ascension Hall

Dating back to 1859, Ascension Hall, is just one of the Victorian Gothic castle-like structures that dominates campus. In total, it acts as home  to ten classrooms, as well as the cosy Nu Pi Kappa, a third-floor study lounge complete with comfortable furniture, and Philomethesian, a medium-sized lecture-hall. 

Black Box Theater

In its new north campus home, the Black Box Theatre  is a great open space for goups to perform or  meet. Due to its proximity to the North Campus Apartments, this also acts a suitable space for groups to check-in/out in an air-conditioned envioronment.

Food & Beverage Options

Peirce Dining Hall

Peirce Hall is the destination dining hall for the Kenyon Community. An all-you-care to eat facility, Peirce offers all guests a menu focused around the fresh, local produce, dairy, grains and proteins. Purchasing over 42% of our products locally, we have built and maintained strong relationships within Gambier and the surrounding communities. We welcome you to join us and enjoy all the great meals that Peirce has to offer.

Kenyon Inn Restaurant

Enjoy Knox County's only 4-star dining in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. Sample fine wines, and end your meal with a créme bruleé "to die for." And yes: we intentionally ended the previous sentence on a preposition... we are a literary place, after all!
