The CAC is located in Brooklyn Park, which was recently designated as a sustainable community by the Maryland Department of Housing & Community Development. This program promotes community development, revitalization and sustainability through state-supported financing programs and tax credit incentives. This area is also in the area designated for the Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative (BRNI).

Our facility is the remarkable result of a $35 million renovation of Brooklyn Park High School.  The complex now includes the CAC, a police substation, a county recreation center, a senior center, and Brooklyn Park Middle School, which is one of two Performing & Visual Arts (PVA) magnet middle schools in Anne Arundel County.
