The Pa‘ina Culinary Arts Center is the premier Pacific-Asian culinary arts teaching facility and home to MCC’s award-winning Culinary Arts Program. The $17 million center spans almost 38,000 square feet in a two-story structure and includes nine kitchens, six quick-serve outlets and an upscale, full-service restaurant.
Students gain hands-on training, beginning in the skills building laboratory, and then as they rotate through nine kitchen facilities, including a bakery and pastry kitchen, confisserie, garde manger kitchen, production kitchen, quick-order broiler/grille, banquet kitchen, exhibition kitchen, innovations kitchen, and a kitchen for international cuisine.
Students prepare for the real world by operating seven restaurants, including a full-service restaurant and six quick-serve outlets.
The campus mall alongside Pa‘ina includes tree planters with seat walks and an open courtyard that provide outdoor seating for 200.
Planting areas around Pa‘ina will be used to grow herbs, ornamentals, and Hawaiian staples such as taro, sweet potatoes and ti leaves for use in the cooking classes.
There’s growing emphasis in the culinary industry on new methods to safely prepare, handle and store food products to eliminate food-borne diseases. Pa‘ina utilizes state-of-the-art The Food Courthniques and equipment, including dedicated seafood/meat butcheries, blast chillers, blast freezers, and vacuum sealers to promote food safety.
