Middlesex Community College is a public community college with two campuses located in Lowell and Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1970, Middlesex Community College is a community college in Massachusetts, with campuses in suburban Bedford and the city of Lowell. MCC has a total annual enrollment of more than 8,000 credit students and several thousand noncredit students. The college was founded in 1970 in leased buildings on the grounds of the Veterans Hospital in Bedford, Massachusetts. Starting in 1972, the college also leased space at the former Marist Preparatory Seminary, off Springs Road in Bedford. A third campus in Burlington, Massachusetts opened in September 1981 in a former middle-school building. In 1988, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts bought the Marist property for the college; new prefabricated buildings were erected there, and the renovated Bedford campus opened in 1992. In 1987, Middlesex opened a temporary campus at the Wannalancit Mills complex in Lowell. To establish a permanent Lowell campus, the college purchased a six-storey corporate training center at Kearney Square from Wang Laboratories in 1990 and relocated its Lowell activities there in 1991.
