Suffolk hosts 12 electrical students from Madison Park Technical Vocational High School
Boston, MA Suffolk’s Huntington Tower project team hosted 12 electrical students from Madison Park Technical Vocational High School, showing them the progress at this 34-story mixed-use development in the city’s Fenway neighborhood. The visit had two parts: first, a presentation about the project and construction career pathways from project executive Eamonn Murphy, followed by a guided site tour with safety manager Greg Bonica. The site tour featured conversations with four trade partners, and the students asked several insightful questions. They were also excited to recognize components they had learned about in class when they viewed the electrical room. Their instructor shared that they couldn’t stop asking questions on the way back to school, saying how amazing it was to see an active construction site.
Located at 252-264 Huntington Ave., the 34-story Huntington Tower is a mixed-use residential project that will span over 472,000 s/f and include 400 residential units, as well as retail space and a new entry and lobby, rehearsal and tech rooms, a separate black box theatre and a catering and bar area for the Huntington Theatre next door. The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
