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
