"Oh…that building with the colourful windows…"

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 National Arts Council, National Heritage Board, Media Development Authority and Singapore Kindness Movement.



Do 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.
