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.

"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."

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!

“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.”
