Chelsea Campus
The Chelsea Campus of Bunker Hill Community College is situated in the historic,
former Post Of�ce facility at 175 Hawthorne Street in Bellingham Square. Providing
higher education and job training opportunities to residents of Chelsea, Revere,
Everett, East Boston, and Winthrop, the campus is actively involved in the community
through partnerships with local human service agencies, the City of Chelsea and the
Chelsea Public Schools.
Several MBTA bus lines stop directly outside the front door of the campus, making
it easily accessible by public transportation. The College also provides free shuttle
