The proposed buildings will be adjacent to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, which will contain four competition venues hosting six sports . With a close proximity to the Convention Center hotels this location provides members of the media with first class accommodations just steps from the IBC and MPC. The entire venue is 27 acres including areas for ceremonies, broadcast, operations and transportation .

Utility Infrastructure
What existing utility infrastructure would serve the IBC/MPC?
The South Boston Waterfront has extensive sewer, water and storm water facilities . The Boston Convention and Exposition Center is currently undergoing a $1 billion expansion, which will include new utility infrastructure connections . In addition, the South Boston Waterfront is planned for 17 million square feet of new office and mixed use development, and the Boston Water and Sewer Commission has been making new capacity improvements to serve the district . We do not anticipate any utility capacity or line extension issues for the IBC and MPC in the context of the growing South Boston Waterfront .
We have recently engaged with CDM Smith, a leading Cambridge-based engineering firm to provide a study of available electrical power .
Facility Contract
If existing, can the facility be contracted for use for one year prior to the Games?
Boston 2024 proposes the IBC and MPC will be new buildings . The two media venue buildings will be completed and ready for use one year prior to the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games .
Building Metrics
How many floors/square meters are planned for the IBC? for the MPC?
The IBC and MPC will be located in two separate, but side-by-side, buildings . The IBC will be built over the South Boston Bypass Road and will have two floors totaling 700,000 sf. The MPC will have five floors totaling 300,000 sf.
Transit Infrastructure
What existing transport infrastructure serves the site/facility?
The proposed IBC/MPC site is located in the South Boston Waterfront Precinct adjacent to and over the South Boston Bypass Road . The site has interstate access and egress located immediately to the north via the I-90/I-93 interchange . The South Boston Bypass Road is proposed as a dedicated Olympic route providing direct access between the Olympic Stadium (1 mile away) and the University Cluster via I-90 . Transit access to the IBC/MPC is conveniently located 0 .6 miles west of the site at South Station and immediately north of the site via the Silver Line/World Trade Center station . Summer Street provides access to the downtown, featuring existing taxi cab stands . World Trade Center Boulevard provides immediate access to the vibrant South Boston Waterfront area .
Additional Transport Infrastructure
What additional transport infrastructure is planned?
Adjacent to the IBC/MPC site is the so-called “Track 61,” which is a planned rail connection between Beacon Yards (West Station) and the South Boston Waterfront . This service is expected to be operational before 2024 . When operational, this service will provide a direct rail connection between the Waterfront and University Clusters . A transport hub and parking are also planned in conjunction with the IBC/MPC on the north side and proximate to the site . Bicycle and pedestrian improvements are currently in design development along Summer Street between the site and South Station .

4.3 LEGACY
Planned Post-Games Use
What is the planned post-Games use?
Both the IBC and MPC will be permanent buildings . We have planned IBC conversion for science, technology and innovation workspace for the Innovation District . The MPC will be designed to convert the 300,000 sf to office space supporting the expanding Innovation District . The overall IBC and MPC planning strategy for the Olympic Games
anticipates the legacy uses by following the City of Boston’s Seaport District 100 Acre Master Plan . The balance of the temporary IBC and MPC support space will revert back to development parcels and open park space . In all options, the transit infrastructure provided for the Olympic Games is utilized including the planned rail connection between Beacon Yards (West Station) to the South Boston Waterfront .

Status: Additional
Location: South Boston Waterfront
Acreage: 27 ac
Planned Capacity: 1,000,000 sf
Owners: USPS, Gillette Company Massachusetts Convention Center Authority Commonwealth of Massachusetts Massachusetts Department of Transportation
Venue Access/Use: The Boston 2024 Partnership has engaged all owners regarding the access and use of this land. Representatives of the Commonwealth and the MCCA have been supportive of the Olympic planning efforts and use of the land.
Intended Tenants/Post-Games Use: The IBC/MPC facilities will be converted to commercial uses following the Games to support the South Boston Waterfront’s growing innovation culture. The Seaport District 100 Acre Master Plan, and temporary support areas for the IBC/MPC will be returned to open spaces and development parcels. Improved public transportation, commercial and residential growth and the legacy of the Olympics in the district would ideally position such parcels for innovative, cultural and community uses.
Financing Body: Joint
Construction Timeline: 36 - 42 months
Anticipated Hurdles: We will pursue omnibus state legislation to coordinate permitting at the local and state levels. This legislation will carefully consider land use, zoning, transportation, historic preservation, cultural celebration, environmental protection and economic benefits to ensure the successful implementation and integration of Games infrastructure. Land control is an important consideration for this site; we are working closely with the owners to reach a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Accessibility Options: The IBC/MPC will be served by the Olympic Route Network via I-90/I-93 and the South Boston Bypass Road. The IBC/MPC will be within walking distance of South Station, providing easy access to the Commuter Rail, Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor and the Red Line.
