Civic Center garage replacement going vertical in downtown Springfield

After months of prep work that was largely underground, construction contractors have gone vertical and started erecting the concrete structure for the new Convention Center Carpark and Plaza at the MassMutual Center.

Besides space for 800 to 900 cars, the new $35 million project will include 10,000 square feet of retail or restaurant space, along with a nextdoor multi-use plaza that will be known as Bruce’s Landing after Bruce Landon. Landon is Springfield’s “Mr. Hockey,” a former goaltender and longtime part-owner, president and general manager of professional hockey teams here.

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 outside marque at the BCEC not only added excitement around our event but it attracted buzz in the surrounding community and drew the attention of the media who put photos of the digital display in their press articles about our event!"

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.”

- John Hoffman, Fishing Academy, Brighton, MA
