Booster shots are not required. This regulation goes into effect on Wednesday, Jan. 26, for ticketed events at the MCC.
      • The MCC is currently exploring options to separate food and beverage service from the event space to create a specific area where the vaccine/test requirement would be in effect.
      • The MCC remains open for business with a fully staffed team that is committed to ensuring that this regulation is implemented to foster safe and successful events.All MCC employees are required to wear face coverings.

Cleaning & Disinfecting

The MCC is an accredited GBAC STAR™ facility and has implemented the most stringent protocols for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention. The MCC has increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting with EPA-approved disinfectants in all public and private spaces with an emphasis on high touchpoint areas and has incorporated new technology such as Electrostatic Disinfecting Machines.

Airflow

The majority of all meeting rooms are equipped with Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization which works by safely introducing ions into the airflow, combining with particles in the air such as viruses, bacteria, odors, and other airborne particles, and then eliminating or neutralizing them. Other meeting room spaces utilize hospital-grade MERV 13 filters. All of our spaces are flushed with outside air before and after use. Engineers monitor all occupied spaces and maximize the use of outside air.
