"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."

Springfield’s MassMutual Center to see $93 million in upgrades

State officials announced a $93 million, five-year package of upgrades to the MassMutual Center, calling it a commitment to the economic development of the city and to keeping the successful minor league Thunderbirds Hockey team in Springfield.

 

The upgrades, announced Thursday, include some improvements that are underway, such as a refurbished concession area. Other improvements that are important, but less visible to visitors, include work to the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, as well as the fire alarm and sprinkler systems.

 

“This historic investment will modernize the facility, improve accessibility, enhance the experience for visitors and ensure the MassMutual Center remains a destination for conventions, sporting events, concerts and community gatherings for years to come,” Gov. Maura Healey said.

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.
