City Approves Dorchester Bay City Plans
UMass Boston is proud to have collaborated with partners in shaping a vision for the former Bay Side Exposition Center site.
The redevelopment of the site into an eco-friendly mixed-use community offering housing, business and lab facilities, and community and green spaces will advance equity of opportunity for our students by making available internship and co-ops in the life sciences, health care, and STEM ecosystem that students at elite private institutions across Greater Boston routinely land. It is an investment in a shared future that will extend the reach of our teaching and research.
"From the vantage point of Boston’s only public research university, Dorchester Bay City is an investment in a shared future for Boston, one that will extend the reach of UMass Boston’s teaching and research, shape the region’s workforce, and enact a blueprint for equity," Chancellor Marcelo Suárez-Orozco wrote.
