Northeastern University and the city of Boston broke ground Tuesday morning on the new William E. Carter Playground on Columbus Avenue, the result of a unique public-private partnership that involves developing a state-of-the-art athletic complex and expanded recreation opportunities for city residents and Northeastern students.

Northeastern held a topping-off ceremony for the Columbus Avenue student apartments on Wednesday, marking a significant moment in the construction of the 20-story, 825-bed residence hall. The building, which is slated to open in August 2019, is the result of a unique partnership between the university, the city of Boston, and the private sector.

The second phase of an important electrical upgrade at Ell Hall requires the methodical switching of other select buildings to properly re-connect Ell to our high-voltage distribution.
