MIT Scraps Met Storage Redevelopment Plans
March 2, 2016
MIT canceled plans for the redevelopment of Metropolitan Storage on Mass Ave in Cambridge into student housing.
The transformation of the property, which is a 250k SF brick structure built in 1894, would be too technically challenging.
The school will build dorms elsewhere and try to find another use for the castle-like building, the Boston Globe reports. MIT bought the building in 1966 and leased it back to Metropolitan, which closed it last year as a storage facility. [Globe]
