In Kendall Square, a long-awaited venue brings cultural boost

Cambridge's tech hub stands to get a culture boost as The Platform, a 45,000-square-foot performing arts venue and community space, opens Saturday. Why it matters: Kendall Square has a front-row seat to a rare sight — a mid-size performing arts venue opening as smaller venues increasingly shut their doors. Catch up quick: The opening is a dream decades in the making for Cambridge residents, since tech philanthropist Glenn KnicKrehm pledged to build a grand concert hall on the site in the 1990s, per Cambridge Day . He sold the property in 2018 to BioMed Realty. The real estate developer ultimately developed the 16-story lab-and-office building at 585 Third St. (now 585 Kendall ), creating a new headquarters for the pharmaceutical giant Takeda. State of play: The Platform's crown jewel is the 400-seat Takeda Theater on the second floor. But the public's introduction to the space is a living room-style lobby lined with trees and shrubs that leads to the 125-seat Tempo Stage. There's also a bar and a café coming soon. Global Arts Live, an arts nonprofit, will oversee the space. (The organization has hosted performances since 1990 but has never had a venue of its own.) What they're saying:
