“The opportunity to live on-campus has a direct positive impact on students’ academic success as well as on the quality of their lives,” said Wentworth President Zorica Pantic in a statement. “MassDevelopment has played a key role in further growing our residential campus, allowing Wentworth to provide attractive housing options for junior and senior students.”
The project is expected to create more than 450 construction jobs and five permanent staff positions.
