The Marjorie L. Hinson Campus Center is the hub of activity for De Anza students, faculty and staff. The lower level of the Campus Center is the town hall for the De Anza Student Body (DASB) and the Inter Campus Council (ICC) . The lower level also houses the Student Activities Office, DASB Card, Financial Aid Office, Health Services Office, Flea Market Office and several offices for EOPS/CARE Program. Le Café is also located on the lower level of the Campus Center.

On the upper level of the Campus Center are De Anza Dining Services, the cafeteria, the Fireside Room and eight conference and meeting rooms (Conference Room A and B, El Clemente, Don Bautista, Santa Cruz, Le Margarita, Meeting Rooms 1 and 2. During the academic year the Campus Center is open from 7 A.M-10 P.M., Monday-Thursday and 7 A.M.-5 P.M. Friday. Dining Services are available from 7A.M.- 8:30 P.M. Monday- Thursday and 7 A.M.- 2P.M. on Friday. Summer hours for the Campus Center are 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. Monday- Friday Dining Services is open from 7 A.M. to 2 P.M. The Campus Center and Dining Services are closed on Fridays during the summer.

Operations in the Campus Center are overseen by the Campus Center Director who is responsible for Dining Services, facilitating and coordinating the meeting room needs of students, faculty, staff and community members and ensuring the building and its furnishing are maintained. The Campus Center operates as a stand-alone enterprise that is expected to be self-sustaining. As a self-sustaining enterprise the Campus Center Director is constantly balancing the business operation of the Campus Center with the needs of the campus community for meeting and activity space. As a result, facilitating and coordinating the meeting room needs of the college community and interested community groups is a fine balancing act. The demand for conference and meeting rooms during the prime time of 11 A.M.-1:30 P.M. is often much greater than the available space.
