WALNUT–  Mt. San Antonio College will hold a ribbon cutting for its new $12.7-million food services facility, the Mountie Café  (building 8), on Wednesday, April 13, at 4 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
“The new facility presents a more student-oriented approach to food service. It can accommodate more students and staff and offers everyone more choices than before,” said Administrative Services Vice President Michael Gregoryk.
The new 13,500-square-foot facility will be able to seat approximately 90 people for interior dining and over 200 for outside dining on the east, west, and south terraces. It replaces the former Campus Café.
The new building houses several new food stations, including room for a deli, a pizza location, a grill station, Asian cuisine, and a coffee shop as well as self-serve cold display cases.
College officials will make brief presentations at the ribbon cutting.
The center was funded by Mt. SAC’s Measure RR, the college’s $353-million facilities bond that was passed by voters in 2008.
