Boys & Girls Clubs Plans New Fieldhouse in Dorchester

This week, the proposal for a new 75,000 SF recreation facility on Columbus Point was filed with the city of Boston. Designed by RODE, the future Dorchester Fieldhouse which will include an indoor turf field, track and hard courts as well as a dance studio, theatre, training facility, café, cooking kitchen, nutrition center, classrooms, and more.

We have worked closely with our clients, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Dorchester and the Martin Richard Foundation to ensure the facility meets the needs of the community. The project came to fruition through the collaborative efforts of our team—The Green Engineer, Howard Stein Hudson, Goulston & Storrs, Lee Kennedy Company, LAM Lighting & Design, BET Building Envelope Technologies, LeMessurier, Cosentini Associates, BR + A Consulting Engineers, Haley & Aldrich, Stoss Landscape Urbanism, Dot Joyce Consulting, CSL Consulting, and Joyce Strategies LLC.

Wednesday’s filing with the Boston Planning & Development Agency will kick off a formal city review of the project and we are thrilled to see this exciting and transformative project come to life. The Fieldhouse aims to be a welcoming and inclusive recreational space for members of all ages to gather and connect.
