Old Hill Street Police Station

Built upon the traditional neoclassical style of architecture, the building draws in locals and tourists alike with its colourful facade. Spread across six levels, the MICA Building has a plethora of cantilevered balconies, corbelled loggias, stuccoed surfaces, and arcades. The two central courtyards, one larger than the other, also contribute to the splendid appearance of this tourist attraction. The primary courtyard has now been transformed into a resplendent air-conditioned atrium, and after a play on words, it has been named the ARTrium, owing to the art activities that have been devoted to this spot.

Windows: The 927 windows are the main attraction of Old Hill Street Police Station. They have been painted all the colours of the rainbow and are a magnificent sight to behold. The windows on the bottom have been coloured with the same intensity, while the colours on the upper windows intensify slowly. This colour gradient helps to highlight the beautiful cantilevered balconies which adorn the exterior of the building.

ARTirum: Known as the Artrium@MCI, this is the main courtyard of the building. It has been converted into an air-conditioned atrium and has a stunning 29m high glass roof. Various art exhibitions and performing art events are held here. The atrium also has numerous art galleries which hold periodic exhibitions.
