Multiple Massachusetts colleges to undergo construction projects
Throughout Massachusetts, a variety of colleges and universities are undergoing major renovation projects. These colleges include New England Council members: Bunker Hill Community College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, and Endicott College.
This spring, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will undergo projects to add more on-campus housing and additional buildings for interdisciplinary programs such as arts and music. UMass Chan Medical School will be investing $325 million in a building that will significantly increase the capacity for education and research, including on clinical trial therapeutics and animal medicine, at its Worcester campus. Endicott College received a $20 million donation from the Cummings Foundation, which they will use to build a new Cummings School of Nursing and Health Sciences building on the Beverly campus. Bunker Hill Community College will be constructing its first new campus building in a decade, set to open in 2025.
“The investments we are announcing today will help our public colleges and universities better educate and train the workforce of tomorrow,” said former Massachusetts Governor, Charlie Baker.
The New England Council commends these colleges and universities for their commitment to improving student life on campus.
