Middletown Arts Center
About Us:
When the township first purchased the property in 1998, the need for an additional indoor recreational facility was identified. Middletown Township had many sports-related programs and facilities, but there were no arts-related programs for its 68,000 residents. The Banfield site was particularly attractive because of its proximity to the train station and centralized location within Middletown's 42 square-mile community. In response to resident feedback, the decision was made to convert the dilapidated commercial space into a flexible recreation space suitable for a wide range of artistic and cultural activities.
The project was completed in two phases. The first phase of construction included various site improvements, a 9,000 square-foot addition to the existing 14,000 square-foot warehouse, a new roof and the exterior façade. The second phase of the construction competed the interior. The Middletown Arts Center opened its doors to the public in March, 2007.
