On May 1, 2013, federal, state, and local leaders joined members of the Central Massachusetts business and academic community today to dedicate the newest building at Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s (WPI) Gateway Park. Built and owned by the O’Connell Development Group (ODG) of Holyoke, Mass., the $32 million building is home to growing companies, educational programs, and state-of-the-art research laboratories. The fit-out of the BETC and MBI laboratory elements of the new building were funded in large part by a $5.15 million grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center.
