With the selection of Populous Architects for a campus masterplan and feasibility study, the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority on March 16 moved a step closer to expanding the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority board voted to approve a contract for up to $2.2 million with Populous. Whatever option they develop is not expected to be as elaborate as the $1-billion plan Mass. Gov. Charlie Baker (R) put on hold in 2015.
