MICA Building

The MICA Building, otherwise known as the Old Hill Street Police Station (OHSPS), was erected in 1934 to house the Hill Street Police Station and Barracks. It was gazetted as a national monument in 1998 and transformed into comfortable and lively premises for MICA. MICA moved from PSA Building to MICA Building in 2000. The building also houses the National Arts Council, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore and Singapore Kindness Movement.

Did you know?

Between 1845 and 1856, the Assembly Rooms - a space for public functions and a building that housed a theatre and a school - occupied this site.
Upon its completion in 1934, it was the largest government building and regarded as a modern skyscraper.
To provide vehicular access behind the building, the steep slopes of Fort Canning had to be cut back and shored up.
There are 911 windows
You can find out more about the building in the online exhibition.

The ARTrium

The main courtyard, the former police parade ground, has been converted into an air-conditioned atrium, called The ARTrium for art activities. The ARTrium, with its colour and space, is an ideal venue for large scale visual art exhibitions and performing arts events.
