Middlesex Community College is a public community college with two campuses located in Lowell and Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. The college was founded in 1970 on the grounds of the Veterans Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts. During the 1980s the college expanded to additional sites in Bedford and Burlington, Massachusetts, and eventually consolidated its campuses to the grounds of the former Marist Preparatory Seminary, off Springs Road in Bedford. In 1987, Middlesex embarked on another period of growth with the opening of its fourth campus at the Wannalancit Mills complex in Lowell. Later, the college moved to several buildings in the Kearney Square area, and the Wannalancit Mills buildings came under the management of the University of Massachusetts Lowell. In April 2008, the college acquired a former Boston & Maine railroad depot in Lowell, for future use by performing arts.programs

Burlington’s origins as a small agricultural community are scarcely visible today, but remnants persist in roads that still crisscross its hilly terrain and in a few, prized historic properties. The remaining historic buildings once served as farm houses, taverns, homes, and schools along the winding roads when Burlington was a sparsely settled corner of a Boston-centric region. The rural characteristics of the community persisted from its settlement in 1641 for nearly 300 years. By 1950, the census recorded only 3,250 residents. But suddenly, Burlington was transformed by powerful shifts in regional economics, demographic and transportation during the second half of the twentieth century. Today Burlington is home to a robust and diverse collection of commercial enterprises within the retail, life science, technology, and medical sectors. Approximately 150,000 people per day flock to the Town to work, eat, shop, play or take advantage of the numerous outdoor recreation areas. Our population represents a broad range of cultures and backgrounds and we are proud to showcase and celebrate the diversity within our community.
