Franklin Cummings Tech breaks ground
On March 12th, Franklin Cummings Tech broke ground on their new campus in Nubian Square. This new 68,000 SF state-of-the-art technical education building will accommodate the institution’s growth. It will house shared classrooms, technical education labs, a rooftop learning lab, conference, meeting, and huddle rooms. A central student lounge, study spaces, administration and other offices, as well as support spaces round out the space.
In addition, the building will target LEED Gold certification. It will minimize environmental impact by using passive design elements, rooftop solar, and energy-efficient mechanical systems.
A beacon for higher education
“Massachusetts is a beacon for higher education across the country, and Franklin Cummings Tech is no exception,” said Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll. “This new building will allow students to gain access to skills needed to enter our state’s diverse workforce, and will open the door of opportunity for students to join some of our most competitive industries like clean energy and the life sciences. We are proud to support Franklin Cummings Tech and look forward to seeing this new campus come to life in Nubian Square.”
Located at 1011 Harrison Avenue, the multi-story facility will feature an advanced manufacturing center. Besides that, rooftop learning lab, ground-level automotive shop, and walk-in optical shop, are among other innovative learning environments and community resources.
A long history of working together
“Franklin Cummings Tech and the City of Boston have a long history of working together to ensure community members have access to high-quality secondary education and training for fulfilling careers and lives,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. Additionally, “This campus will be a major investment not only for Franklin Cummings Tech’s academic mission, but also for Nubian Square and the city.”
