The Foundry, a brick and timber frame industrial building, built in 1890, will be repurposed into a creative, innovative and collaborative multipurpose center. When completed, it will provide public community space and programming for art, entrepreneurship, technology and workforce education. The building will be accessible and inclusive to Cambridge residents of all ages and backgrounds, and its location on the border of Kendall Square and East Cambridge provides an ideal opportunity to connect residents to some of the world's most visible companies in life sciences, technology and innovation. The Foundry property is owned by the City of Cambridge and is being developed by the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA). Through a Request for Proposal process in 2018, the CRA selected the Foundry Consortium to act as operator and master tenant, with responsibility for managing the building, establishing and managing a programming framework, and recruiting sub-tenants. As part of the Foundry construction project, Cambridge Arts will commission an artist, team of artists, or multiple artists to create a public art project as part of the percent-for-art ordinance. A jury met and selected three finalists: Masary Studios, Elisa Hamilton, and Innovators for Purpose.

Climate change is making our storms bigger, our summers hotter, our winter weather more unpredictable, and our rainfall patterns swing wildly from flash flooding to flash droughts. Over time, we will need to manage increasing challenges such as higher ocean and groundwater levels and more wind, fire, and drought. Extreme weather is not new. We already know how to deal with blizzards without major loss of life or property damage. Climate change means that we need to learn how similarly manage these new challenges while minimizing harm to people and our surroundings.
