Metropolitan Community College South Express

The MCC Yates Illuminates is located inside the Gifford Park neighborhood on 32nd and Davenport. The more than century-old, 30,000-square-foot structure offers classrooms, offices and multi-purpose spaces, a commercial kitchen and an auditorium with a stage. We are proud to be a part of a coalition of organizations working together to elevate and promote the lived experience of our diverse community. We curate a space that cultivates education by weaving diversity, equity and inclusive opportunities through individual creativity and expression for all.

The Ashton building is a hub for community growth, art, design, entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.

Located just north of 11th and Nicholas streets, the MCC Makerspace is a part of the arts and trades district. This district is a vibrant, unique Makerhood where arts, crafts and trades are celebrated in a walkable network of public spaces connecting residential, industrial, commercial and public activities. Workshops within the New North Makerhood District provide instruction for in-demand skills that have been nearly forgotten in the modern digital world.
