Services offered

One roof. One million experiences.

Like the nucleus of a cell, the kitchen in a house, and the watercooler in an office, MacEwan Student Centre (MSC) is where the action is. Not only is it the home of the SU, it also houses our licensed restaurants the Den and the Black Lounge as well as our MacEwan Conference & Event Centre event space.

A marvel of modern convenience, MSC is packed with vendors that have something to offer everyone: the studious, the hedonistic, the hungry, the caffeine-dependent, the cash-deprived, the bored, the sick, the would-be vacationers, and those who just want to buy some stamps.
