MACC and Dining Commons soft opening

August 25, 2026

Dear Campus Community,

We are excited to announce the soft opening of the newly renovated Michael Alexander Campus Center (MACC) and Dining Commons.

Students, faculty and staff are invited to stop by and purchase a variety of Italian and Asian entrees, salads at the new salad bar and grab-n-go items. A variety of beverages including coffee, tea, and Boba are available for purchase at the Café. Students also have the option of heating their own meals in the open-area microwaves. Charging stations inside and outside the building are now available.

If you have any questions or ideas about dining, please email Dawn Hatfield at dawn.hatfield@chaffey.edu.

Dining Hours

7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday
7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays

Building Hours

Students wishing to snack, relax or study may access MACC Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Media Room

The MACC’s media room can be reserved for College activities. ITS will provide training to end-users on the equipment, but an AV tech is not needed to run events. The AV has been designed to be employee-use friendly.

MACC 208 (upstairs) will be available for reservation in the next couple of weeks.

Employee Dining Pavilion

The Pavilion is also open. This employee-only space is located next to the Dining Hall, by using a key fob. If you do not have one, you can request it online.  Note: employees with older fobs will need them programmed by Campus Police to access newer spaces such as the Pavilion.

Please join us for the MACC Grand Opening, Thursday, August 27, 2026, at Noon!

Thank you,
