Denning House

Denning House is the convening space for Knight-Hennessy Scholars at Stanford University. 

Denning House overlooks Lake Lagunita near the center of the Stanford campus. The building offers a dedicated place for ongoing interaction between scholars, visitors, and alumni. Denning House features small-group spaces, a lounge with snacks, classrooms, meeting rooms, lecture and discussion spaces, a wrap-around deck, and a dining room where the KHS community gathers for events and meals. The open and airy spaces enable the KHS community to share ideas and experiences.

A gift from Roberta Bowman Denning, '75, MBA '78, and her husband Steve Denning, MBA '78, made the building possible. An art committee selects works of art for display outside and throughout the building. 

Denning House was awarded the 2020 Design Award - Merit Award by AIA Silicon Valley.

Denning House was nominated for the 2019 Building of the Year on ArchDaily.
