Boston Hospitals See Growth Spurt

BOSTON-Hospitals here are in the midst of a major building boom that will add nearly two million sf of new clinical, research and treatment space to the city over the next few years.

The largest project will occur at Mass General Hospital, where work has already started on a 640,000-sf ambulatory care facility and a 725-car parking garage at 301 Cambridge St. The facility is part of a 10-year master plan to expand the hospital’s West End campus. The plan is now under review by the Boston Redevelopment Authority.

The Joslin Diabetes Center recently won BRA approval to construct the first stage of a two-phase project that will add a total of 518,000 sf to the center’s 1 Joslin Place facility. Plans include a new laboratory building and a residential complex.
