The ici® is housed in the Albaugh Family Center in Building 7 on the DMACC Ankeny Campus. Our building was updated in Spring 2016 thanks to a one million dollar donation from DMACC Alumnus Dennis Albaugh and his wife Susan. The gift allowed our culinary institute to become one of the most attractive and functional culinary facilities in the nation.
