Associate Professor Charles Cimino of the Wentworth Institute of Technology orchestrated a display of his architecture students’ projects yesterday focused on the reuse of the Medfield State Hospital. It turned out to be remarkably interesting to see what fresh eyes did with the Lee chapel and a couple of the surrounding buildings. Colleen Sullivan took pictures and wrote a great article describing what was shown. Click here to see her photos and article.
PURCHASE UPDATE – The special legislation for the Town of Medfield to buy the Medfield State Hospital site has reportedly been through one committee hearing already in the legislature. Shall we start a pool betting on when the town will actually get to buy the property. I bet it will be 1/1/2015, getting in just under the wire before Governor Patrick leaves office the following week.
