Mackinnon Center

The new Mackinnon Center is complete! With Oliverian's rapid growth, faculty and students expressed the need for a hot spot for students to gather, study, do research, and just "hang out." Construction began immediately, bringing the invigorating sounds of hammers pounding and saws buzzing throughout the summer. Now, less than one year from the initial vision, the Mackinnon Center is complete with gaming center, pool table, foosball tables, big screen TVs, internet cafe, and a snack bar.

The Mackinnon Center now hosts its very own grille and snack bar managed and operated by husband/wife team Art and Danielle Bedard. The grille will be open in the evenings and weekends when the school kitchen is normally closed. Students and faculty couldn't get enough of the jalapeño poppers and chicken fingers served at the ribbon cutting ceremony. And only crumbs were left in the cookie baskets originally filled to the brim with a huge variety of tasty treats!

The Quillen Game Room is always hoppin' now that the Mackinnon Center is complete and equipped with two big screen TVs, video games, foosball, and pool table. The two foosball tables host many heated matches among students and faculty with the prospect of a Foosball Tournament building momentum. The wireless internet cafe offers students a place to connect with family and friends, work on school projects, research, and collaborate with their fellow students. The student lounge area is a great spot to just relax, play video games, watch TV, and simply goof around after a fulfilling academic day.
