Some physical changes will be taking place at McHenry County College. It all began with planning for a Culinary Lab. A Culinary program has been offered at McHenry County College but currently takes place by using facilities at Woodstock High School.
The program has become popular with students and there is a need to bring the program to the McHenry County College campus. Added room exists adjoining the current cafeteria of the college.
By making some changes in the current cafeteria, a culinary laboratory can be implemented along with a change in the vestibule of that building. Further work would include remodeling the kitchen and the servery, which is where the food is served.
The estimated cost for all the remodeling work to take place over next few years is approximately $3.8 million. This will also provide added space with the removal of columns in the area adjoining the current cafeteria. These are not supporting columns and were installed for decor purposes at the time that portion of the facility was built.
The project will also remove what is known as the Belly of the Whale, a student "lounge " area. Instead, it is planned to provide a Starbucks type area where computers can be "plugged in".
