Campus Information
Our campus occupies a picturesque 135-acre site overlooking and bordering Lake Auburn—a great setting for learning and recreation, whether you live on campus or commute.
Located in Auburn just two miles from the center of the city and close to many stores and restaurants, CMCC is served by regular public transportation. Our campus facilities include four main buildings housing academic, lab, technical, and student support spaces; three residence halls; Kirk gymnasium and fitness center; and the Culinary Arts Center. In 2019, we have added a new, multi-sport synthetic turf athletic complex and an Esports Arena. In 2023, we opened the 4,500-square-foot Public Service Simulation Center, home to Criminal Justice, Conservation Law Enforcement, Forensics, Justice Studies, Psychology, and Social Science programs.

Auburn is located in the south central region of Maine and is the Gateway to the Western Mountains.
