There's Been A Change At MCC

The transformation of the McHenry County College Commons area and cafeteria is so much different than in the past.

It is now bright and cheery. The “fake” columns in the commons area are gone. The colors of cheery bright yellow, an eye-pleasing blue along with some lavender seem to change one’s attitude the minute you walk into the area.


This is located in Building B and the area houses the culinary teaching laboratory to support the Culinary Management program.


It is one of the most utilized and high-traffic areas on MCC’s main campus. Building B has been transformed to expand educational programming, offer healthy convenient food options, and create more space for both students and community members to work and gather.


Besides this, the area features environmentally friendly practices and sustainable products, the cafĂ© offers a new pizza oven with pizza made fresh to order and new snack and dining options. Multiple meeting rooms have been updated and the College’s Public Safety/Police Department has been relocated next to the Building B entrance.


The grand opening of the new space was held Tuesday afternoon and evening. Culinary students served assorted hors d’oeuvres and desserts along with demonstrations by MCC Culinary Management chefs and advanced students.


McHenry County College is more than an academic learning facility, it is also a skills training center.
