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:

Questioning the location of Framingham's new elementary school | Letter

As usual, the School Committee is befuddling in its planning of new school construction . Why is a replacement of Hemenway being built in Ashland? Isn't that a bit far flung? Wasn't the Wilson School replacement built to accommodate that part of Town with loss of Memorial, etc.? The larger question involves why the School Dept, Council recognize growth at the lower grade level, but not the need for accommodating it at the high school level. Shouldn't the new building be a high school? Maybe the Marian building would be ideal. Sorry to interrupt your reverie.

New 18-Acre Historic District Could Ease Boston Office-to-Housing Conversions

A proposed 18-acre historic district in Boston’s Financial District is moving toward federal review, but its effect on office-to-housing conversions would depend on more than whether a building falls within its boundaries. The Massachusetts Historical Commission voted to advance the proposed Exchange District to the National Park Service for final review and potential listing on the National Register of Historic Places. If listed, the district could make qualifying rehabilitation projects eligible to seek state and federal historic tax credits.
