ISC Topping Off Ceremony Set for Thursday, 2/16/12
UMass Boston Construction Update
February 14, 2012.
As ironworkers near the end of assembling the structural steel of the Integrated Sciences Complex (ISC) frame, UMass Boston will celebrate the milestone with a "topping off" event on Thursday, February 16, at 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of University Drive and the Quinn Roadway, near Healey Library.
The "topping off" of a construction project is a ceremonial event marking the end of steel construction by putting into place a final, signed beam. The campus community is invited to stop by and sign the steel beam between 8 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. on Thursday.
To get to the beam signing and to the ceremony, walk through the Quinn Upper Level doors, take a right and follow the Quinn Roadway. Just before reaching University Drive, take a right. The white beam will be located in front of a fence gate.
Following the ceremony, light refreshments will be served in the Quinn Upper Level lobby.
For those who want to stay inside for the beam-raising ceremony, good viewing areas include the catwalk between the Healey Library and Quinn Administration Building; the Ryan Lounge, third floor McCormack Building; and the Healey Library, eighth floor.
The crane on the ISC site is scheduled to leave next week. The most noticeable construction will move to pouring concrete for the floors of the new building.

The ISC is located near the entrance of the university, adjacent to the Healey Library and Quinn Administration Building.

UMass Boston broke ground in April for the first building in $700 million worth of work...a commitment to BJO hiring goals
Hi Tradeswomen and Allies,
UMass Boston broke ground in April for the first building in $700 million worth of work. They are essentially tearing down the entire campus and rebuilding it over the next ten years. The university and the state have made a commitment to meeting the hiring goals of the Boston Jobs Ordinance, which is 10% women, 25% people of color and 50% residents.
The entire project is under a Project Labor Agreement, and under that PLA, they have created an Access and Opportunity Committee to help the community get access to these jobs. The committee is having a public meeting next Wednesday evening at UMass.
This is an opportunity to show them that there are tradeswomen in Boston ready, able and willing to do this work, and to advocate for actually meeting (or even exceeding!) the goal of 10% women, which has almost never happened. Below are the details.
We hope you can join us - spread the word!

Meeting of the Access & Opportunity Committee
Ryan Lounge
McCormick Building
UMass Boston
Parking: UMass will provide parking passes for those who attend this meeting.
A map of the campus can be found at http://uc.umb.edu/moreinfo/general/map/
If you have trouble reading the map, park in any parking lot, come up onto the campus, and ask around for the McCormick Building. It is marked as the McCormick Building.
The Access and Opportunity Committee was created under the PLA for this $700 million project and includes members from the Division of Capitol Asset Management (the state agency who owns this job), the UMass Building Authority, UMass Administration & Finance, labor unions and Boston city government people.
The PLA covers replacing many of the structures on campus. The first building is the $155 million Integrated Science Center. Walsh Brothers is the Construction Manager.
Some details about this, the first of many buildings, can be found at
