Upgrades Expected to Make MassMutual Center More Competitive

Sean Dolan says the hard work to secure nearly $100 million from the state for upgrades to the MassMutual Center began years before the press conference earlier this summer to announce the funding.

 

Much of that work involved tours, or walk-throughs, said Dolan, general manager of the facility, of both the MassMutual Center and competing venues in Hartford, Providence, Worcester, and elsewhere, to show where the more than half-century-old arena and quarter-century-old convention center were showing their age and falling behind that competition.

 

“It started back in 2019 … mentioning to those at the Mass. Convention Center Authority that, with our competitor set, we were doing very well, but we had fallen behind our competition,” he told BusinessWest, adding that there are different competitors for both the arena and the convention center, and the Springfield facility was losing out on business in both realms and in danger of losing more, especially as the other venues went about their own improvements.

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

"The champion of this department was Levy Restaurants, an event and catering company associated with Hynes Convention Center. Levy’s cupcakes were basically beyond words. I’ve never tasted a better crafted cupcake in my entire 26 year-cupcake-eating-life."

“As a small non-profit, serving vulnerable women and children, we struggle to meet their needs with our limited budget. Donations from the Conventions C.A.R.E. program not only provide needed supplies to our families, but they also help to preserve our resources during these challenging times.”

Probe into Convention Authority's IT process finds agency followed protocol

A new report on the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority's record-keeping, public records retention and data collection process has found that the authority followed appropriate technical protocol.

 

The audit was launched in response to a Massachusetts Senate investigation.

 

The authority’s practices related to device destruction and document retention came under scrutiny after the Senate Post Audit and Oversight Committee on Dec. 5 sent a letter asking the MCCA to explain its process and decisions in 2023 related to destruction of some devices amid two investigations, one from the state auditor, that were ongoing at that time.
