Massasoit Community College has three campuses, located in Brockton, Canton, and Middleborough with modern classroom facilities, laboratories, and computer centers.
The Brockton campus is a 100-acre (0.40 km2) facility, which began construction in 1969 and completed in 1978, with a number of modern academic buildings, a student center, library, day care, two theaters, radio and TV studios, and a Field House which houses a swimming pool, basketball court, racquetball courts and weight room. The Conference Center at Massasoit is adjacent to this campus and is available for meetings and functions.
The Canton campus is a multi-level facility on 18 acres (73,000 m2) in the Blue Hills area south of Boston. Specialized labs, art studios, and CAD and Macintosh computer labs support the technical and visual arts programs on campus. The campus is home to the Milton Art Museum, Akillian Gallery, and the College’s Professional Development Center. The building was formerly the property of an associate degree granting two-year institution named the Blue Hills Regional Technical Institute, linked scholastically to the Blue Hills Regional Technical School serving the same geographic area as the high school covered, and acquired by the Massasoit college in 1985.
