Mercer County Community hosted a grand opening on Feb. 6 for its
new 3,900 foot building addition, which houses new student culinary
labs and campus cafeteria, called The Center City Cafe. The Spiezle
Architecture Group, Inc. of Trenton designed the new addition.
The
Center City Café will serve as the college's main dining
facility for James Kerney Campus students, faculty and staff.
All food is prepared by culinary students of the Career Training
Institute (CTI) as part of their practicum experience.
The James Kerney Campus is located at 130 North Broad Street in
downtown Trenton.
.
"We are very excited about our new dining facility,"
said MCCC Vice President and James Kerney Campus Provost Dr. Beverly
A. Richardson. "The completed renovation of our Center City
Café doubles the existing space of our culinary lab and
dining area. With the additional seating capacity and larger kitchen,
more students can sample the cuisine created by fellow students
in the Career Training Institute's culinary program. The Café
also provides an area for students to socialize in a college environment."
The
Career Training Institute (CTI) at MCCC's James Kerney Campus
provides 30-week training programs in culinary technology and
office automation.
