Midcoast Senior College moves to downtown Brunswick, plans ribbon-cutting
Midcoast Senior College is opening at 14 Middle St., adding adult classes and events to downtown Brunswick. A ribbon-cutting is set for July 15.
Midcoast Senior College will mark its new downtown Brunswick home at 14 Middle St. with a ribbon-cutting celebration Wednesday, July 15, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., with the formal cutting set for 1:45 p.m. The Brunswick Downtown Association is hosting the event, which will include remarks, tours of the new learning space and light refreshments.
The new downtown space adds room for more classes, lectures, clubs, special events and community gatherings in Brunswick’s business district.
Midcoast Senior College is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) serving people 50 and older. Its mission is to provide intellectually stimulating learning opportunities, with courses and members-only activities open to people who join the college. Annual membership is $40 per person, and the organization offers learning for personal fulfillment and enrichment, with no college credit awarded.
The college traces its roots to 2000 and spent its first 12 years as a program of University College at Bath/Brunswick before becoming independent in 2012. In 2025, it is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and it has grown into one of 17 senior colleges in Maine. It typically runs four terms a year and offers more than a dozen courses each term, with subjects ranging from Shakespeare and Robert Frost to information technology and U.S. national security.
The move to Middle Street follows an earlier relocation to Brunswick Landing, where the college signed a five-year lease in 2018.
