Chanute, Kansas: event meals around the Mih Family Fine Arts Center at NCCC
Neosho County Community College broke ground on the Mih Family Fine Arts Center on September 11, 2025, at the south lawn of Sanders Hall. The plan pairs a renovated auditorium with a gallery and event area and a courtyard, spaces made for receptions and crowds that campus dining was never built to feed.
A kitchen for Chanute leaves the Topeka warehouse, about 120 miles from the site area. The rental team confirms route and timing.
What the college announced for Sanders Hall
Groundbreaking ceremony set for Mih Family Fine Arts Center ↗
Neosho County Community College, September 1, 2025
The college announced a September 11, 2025 groundbreaking on the south lawn of Sanders Hall in Chanute. The project renovates the existing auditorium and adds a greenroom, scene shop, gallery and event area, and courtyard. Loyd Builders was selected as general contractor on August 21, 2025.
For a kitchen rental: If the college plans a large reception or crew meals around the build, ask early whether an on-site kitchen fits.
The college's release describes a renovated 4,000 square foot auditorium plus a greenroom, scene shop, a gallery and event area of about 2,315 square feet, and a courtyard. Loyd Builders won the construction contract in August 2025, and the release gives no completion date.
A building like this eventually hosts openings, donor evenings and student events. If a reception outgrows what a campus kitchen can turn out, a temporary kitchen near the courtyard is one option to raise with the college.
A sample plan: a four-day opening week
Suppose the college schedules four days of receptions, student showcases and a donor dinner around the new gallery and event area. A combination kitchen with cold storage sits on the Sanders Hall lot, and caterers or student volunteers work from it while the auditorium fills.

- Ask the college which department approves outside vendors and caterers on campus.
