The University of Massachusetts Boston

The steel structure of the science building at UMass Boston is up and the entire $155 million facility will be ready to open in the fall of 2014, said officials. The new building, near the entrance of the Columbia Point school, will be a six-story structure that will include dry and wet research laboratories along with support space, an infant-cognition lab, undergraduate biology teaching labs and two research centers.

The building is part of several projects in the university’s Master Plan, which was developed in 2007. The school has created a web page for those who would like updates.
