On Wednesday, October 23, George Marsh, Michael Hinchcliffe and I attended the groundbreaking for the new Dana Farber Molecular Cancer Imaging Facility over at Drydock in South Boston. The first of its kind in Massachusetts, this project includes a cyclotron built specifically for oncology clinical research. A small piece within the growing innovation district, the new Molecular Cancer Imaging Facility with its elegant design and cutting-edge equipment will provide scientists the resources to test the mutation of various genes and one-day develop cancer-curing treatments with minimal side-effects to patients. It was an event shared by members from PAYETTE, Suffolk Construction and the leadership teams from both Dana Farber and Massachusetts Life Sciences.
Each year, PAYETTE embarks on a collaborative effort to make our design services accessible to local communities through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. This year, we celebrated our 8th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service by partnering with 7 local nonprofits:
- Breaktime @breaktime
- Brighton Main Streets @brightonmainstreets
- Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition @masstpc
- The Elizabeth Peabody House @elizabethpeabodyhouse
- Greater Ashmont Main Street @greaterashmont
- Greater Grove Hall Main Streets
- Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts @animalprotectioncenter
