Mass. College breaks ground in Brigham Circle
The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences said it will break ground today on a new building near Brigham Circle in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood.
The college said that the six-story, triangular building on the south side of Huntington Avenue will contain nearly 50,000 square feet of classrooms, faculty, and staff offices as well as teaching laboratories, a technology center, a 230-seat auditorium, and multifunction room.
The building, which will replace a parking lot, will house the college's School of Nursing, School of Physician Assistant Studies, Institutional Advancement, and the Office of College Relations and Communications, the college said.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is among the dignitaries expected to take part in the ground-breaking ceremony, the college said.
