With the innovative Behnisch architects, our new campus will be a beautiful and modern one that jumpstarts our reputation as a leading center of the architectural world...
...possess the adequate technology to communicate with local fire departments or ambulance services and will not be able to do so for at least 18 more months. In addition to better communications equipment, Barrios’ report calls for the hiring of 100 more MBTA police officers, for full-scale subway terrorism drills, and for better allocation of federal homeland security money to help local communities outside of Boston proper to secure their T infrastructure. All are necessary measures to improve the safety of the subway and its passengers...
