On Monday, December 3, 2018, a temporary hallway will be built in the B-Building Lobby. This hallway will be on the left side of the lobby, near Central Café, to allow for installation of the floor tile, ceiling, walls and lighting while the College is closed from December 22, 2018 - January 1, 2019. For your safety, please be aware of your surroundings as the B-Building construction lobby project enters its final stages. 

We apologize for any inconvenience as we continue to make improvements to our campus. Please stay tuned for regular construction updates here, via email, and in the BHCCUpdates—as our progress continues.

Charlestown Campus Construction Update

Beginning September 21 and over the next week, the Student Central and Admissions Offices will move into their new locations in our newly renovated B-Lobby (second floor of the B-Building, just inside the main entrance off the plaza). Student Central staff will be manning the Welcome Desk to help answer your questions. Our next phase of construction will focus on completing the renovations on the second floor of the B-Building, in the area of the former Financial Aid and Student Payment windows. As part of this work, the Veterans Center has now been relocated to room E234. We appreciate your patience as we continue to make improvements to our campus.

MathSpace Relocation

As of Monday, November 5, 2018, the MathSpace has been relocated to room E234.

B-Building Fire Alarm Update

Last Thursday and this past Saturday, the fire alarm in the B-Building was activated due to faulty smoke detectors that may have been the result  of excess construction dust.  When there is an alarm, Boston Fire responds immediately to determine if there is a threat which they did in all cases.  

H-Building: Water Update

The sediment in the tap water in the H-Building is being addressed. Facilities is working with Hood management to determine the cause and a solution. Hood management believes they have isolated the pipe that may have been causing the issue.  There should be improved results over the next few days. In the meantime, please continue to utilize the water coolers located in the student lounge and staff lounge for drinking.

Parking Lots 5 & 6 on the Charlestown Campus

There was  removal of an underground storage tank which is now complete. BHCC requested the contractor to remove the grass island and partial sidewalk to create additional parking spaces which has been paved. The line stripping of the  new parking spaces will be complete by November 16, 2018.

We apologize for any inconvenience as we continue to make improvements to our campus. Please stay tuned for regular construction updates on this page, in email, and in the BHCC Updates as our progress continues.
