Phase II of the Harrington Athletics Village (Pete Frates Center)
Anticipated Opening: Summer 2020
The Pete Frates Center will provide a 31,000-square foot indoor baseball and softball facility featuring locker rooms, hitting tunnels, indoor turf field, strength and conditioning space, and a hospitality area. It will be located adjacent at the Harrington Athletics Village, which opened in 2018.

Construction Manager: Walsh Brothers
Schiller Institute
Anticipated Opening: Fall 2021
The Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society will be the centerpiece of a new 150,000 square-foot science facility scheduled for construction beginning in the spring of 2019. The new building will represent the largest single investment in the sciences at Boston College. It will feature office and laboratory space for researchers, including engineering faculty, and teaching laboratories that will include computer science robotics and data visualization space. It will provide maker spaces to give students hands-on experiences in prototyping research, a clean room, and a collaboration commons for faculty and students. The new facility will also include space for BC’s Computer Science Department and Shea Center, as well as classrooms for its core courses, all of which will foster faculty and student cooperation across departments and schools, strengthen teaching and research in the sciences, and enhance the University’s ability to advance the common good through research focused on pressing global problems.

“ These three construction projects represent a new era for Boston College Athletics and a sizable investment in our future. They will be a great asset in recruiting student-athletes across all sports and in helping to prepare them for their respective seasons. It is an exciting time for BC Athletics. ”
