Opened in 1928, it is named after former institute president Marion L. Brittain, and it serves as the primary dining location for all Freshman Experience and Area II housing residents.

Renovations are anticipated to cost over $10 million and include work on electrical issues, lighting, and flooring.

In recent years however, there has once more been a restriction on the use of this second floor dining area because of the tendency of the institute's students to put new meaning to "food on the fly".

Brittain Rec is divided into a Buzz Card activated laundry room, BuzzBy, East Side Market, and a ballroom for events.

While Brittain Dining Hall caters to the nutritional needs of thousands of students weekly, it is largely regarded as the most inferior eatery on campus.
