MassArt/MCPHS Dining Commons web site

The MassArt Dining Commons is located on the first floor of the Kennedy Building. The dining service also offers a full range of catering and seasonal specials.

Chartwell's Dining Services manages the food service at MassArt; there are two locations on campus:

Main Dining Area
Located on the first floor of the Kennedy building, The Dining Commons offers a full array of hot and cold entrees, beverages, and desserts.

Tower Café
Located on the 2nd floor of the Tower Building, The Tower Cafe is a great place to grab a snack between classes. The cafe serves coffee, pastries, soups, sandwiches and other snacks.

Declining Balance Meal Plan
There is a declining balance meal plan available to resident and commuter students. Commuter students may pick up a meal plan form in the Office of Student Development on the second floor of Kennedy.

Resident Students
Resident students who live in Smith Hall and The Artists' Residence will automatically be enrolled in a Chartwells declining balance meal plan. The declining balance system works just like a debit card. Each student will have a balance that will be spent down and deducted from their total each and every time they make a purchase. You may use your card at either The Dining Commons or The Tower cafe; just remember to always have your meal card with you when making a purchase. When you present your card to the cashier he or she will scan it and the system will atomically deduct the money from your balance. If at anytime during either semester you need to add money to your card, please come to the dining service office (located in the kitchen of The Dining Commons in the Kennedy building) and we will be happy to accommodate you.

Commuter Students
Commuter students can purchase a meal plan for any amount at their own discretion. There is not a mandatory meal plan for the commuter student; however each student has the option of setting up their own plan. How do I set up my own plan? Just come down to the dining service office and we would be happy to sit down and discuss the frequency you intend on eating in the dining service facilities. We can then determine a practical figure to accommodate your eating habits. Another way to participate in this plan would be to put money on your card as needed. You can do this throughout the school year at any denomination you choose.
