Late Boston Mayor, Other Veterans Honored At Convention Center

Boston's Hynes Convention Center has new signage that reflects the facility's full name, the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center.

 

The signage spells out the facility's full name in gold letters across the building's black façade. It was unveiled at a ceremony Wednesday featuring Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and the family of John B. Hynes, who served in both World Wars and as Boston's mayor from 1950 to 1960.

 

Hynes' grandson, John B. Hynes III, said the change will more accurately reflect the purpose of the facility's name, which is to honor not just his grandfather, but also other veterans.

Save That Stuff Tour

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) and its partners from ABM had the opportunity to tour Save That Stuff in Charlestown, MA. Founded in 1990 by Erik Levy, Save That Stuff is a waste collection facility that offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods. Save That Stuff helps educational and governmental institutions like the MCCA uphold commitments to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and cost control. The MCCA has worked with Save That Stuff for 10 years to reduce our convention centers’ recyclable waste. In a typical year, the MCCA recycles an average of 774 tons between the Hynes and the BCEC with Save That Stuff!
