Our Space
History
The building at 36 Arlington Street is rich in history, serving its surrounding community and beyond for over a century. What stood as the Crown Hill Fire Station (1892-2006) and a private dance studio is now a space for learning, growth, and engagement for our greater Nashua community.

Room A, our children's classroom, is home to our pre-k readiness activity group, elementary school tutoring, story times, and more!
Room B is the perfect space for a formal or informal meeting, class, or event, offering flexibility to set the space up to best meet your needs. With access to our ASCC computer lab, Room B allows for additional programming options.
Our dance studio is home to more than six recurring weekly dance and fitness classes, in addition to specialty workshops for both youth, adults, and families. With room for 175 people, the studio is often used for private events, too!
Our newest addition, the Anagnost Sport Court, was installed in October 2019 after a generous donation from Anagnost Compaies. The 30'x42' multiuse court, located directly behind the center, is perfect for basketball and futsal.
