The state is finally renovating the Hynes Convention Center. Take a look inside.

Windows and skylights leaking like sieves. Walls and columns painted burnt orange and black. Rusting ventilation systems routinely spewing fluid.

 

Those are just some of the infrastructure and cosmetic issues at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center, a sprawling three-level facility built in the late 1980s in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay, that crews are working to remedy.

 

The public-facing cosmetic changes aim to brighten the Hynes’s expansive interior, with fresh paint and carpeting and a color scheme of creams, light blues, and mints rather than burnt orange and dark olive green. Some of the most pressing work, however, has been out of sight of the general public, such as replacing power and air equipment.

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!

Testimonial

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”

Watch them whip. Gen Z is leading a line dance revival in Boston.

In the back of The Harp, a sports bar across the street from North Station, a blonde woman in denim shorts and cowboy boots grabbed her friend’s arm. “This is it!,” she exclaimed, pulling her companion onto the dance floor. It was a Thursday at 10:30 p.m., and “Burn It Down” by Nickleback had just come on at full volume.

 

Under colorful flashing lights, about 30 young Bostonians stomped their boots in unison and did a high kick with a little clap. Some people sang along; one dancer with a long dark-brown ponytail, wearing a white miniskirt and sneakers, called out the steps for a couple of beginners stumbling along in front of her.

 

The soccer fans at the front of the bar watched the World Cup with a mass of Gen Z line dancers bobbing in the background.
