Community Access & Outreach for the University of Massachusetts Boston

DCAMM Commissioner Carole Cornelison welcomes you to the Community Access and Outreach page for UMass Boston.

The University of Massachusetts Boston, in collaboration with DCAMM, has entered the construction phase of a $155 million Integrated Sciences Complex as part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's $2.2 billion higher education bond bill. The  220,000-square-foot complex, is being built at the entrance of the Columbia Point campus and will house state-of-the-art research, teaching, and training laboratories. The new six-story building will include wet and dry research laboratories and support space, undergraduate Biology teaching labs, an infant cognition lab, and two new research centers, the Developmental Sciences Research Center and the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy.

DCAMM is partnering with UMass Boston and the UMass Building Authority on future construction projects as part of the ten year campus expansion. This site will include additional information on new projects as they enter the design and construction phases.

DCAM's Access and Opportunity partnership with UMass and the UMass Building Authority is part of the Administration's commitment to ensuring equal opportunity for participation in projects that spur economic activity and create jobs.  Find out more about the Access and Opportunity Goals, Reporting and Committee Meetings.
