Monday, March 8, 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm – The Big Dig: The Infamous Mega Project That Remastered Boston’s Plan, Advanced Civil Engineering, and Created a Generational Architectural & Landscaping Redux


For over two decades, Dan McNichol was the spokesperson for the largest, most complex highway construction project ever embarked upon in U.S. history:  Boston’s Big Dig. On March 8 at 4 pm, online, McNichol will discuss the management of this mega-public works project, officially known as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project , sharing lessons learned as well as describing the civil engineering feats of innovative tunnel designs, the creation of one of the world’s largest ventilation systems, and the construction of a cable stayed bridge over the Charles River in Boston. 

This lecture is cosponsored by the UMass Amherst departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture & Regional Planning. For more information, and Zoom link, click HERE. Free.
