Boston
The University of Massachusetts Boston will begin construction in fall of 2010 on the $60 million Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. Housing classrooms, archives, an exhibit hall, and a life-size model of the U.S. Senate floor, the technology-rich building will promote dynamic learning and engagement in the field of history. The 40,000-sf project was designed by Rafael Viñoly and will be sited adjacent to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. Occupancy is expected in 2013.
