Exciting changes underway!

MARCH, 2008 - We are very excited to announce that we have started moving forward on the much anticipated renovation of 122 Arlington Street into the new headquarters for the Boston Center for Adult Education! In order to prepare the building for demolition (when we say renovation, we mean renovation!) the building will be officially closed as of Thursday, March 20, 2008.

All courses currently held at 122 Arlington Street will be moved to our location at 5 Commonwealth Avenue, or to offsite partners when applicable. Student Services will be contacting students via phone and email with course location information. For the latest information, check the daily schedule.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to our students and teachers, members and donors, staff and board for joining us on this important next step on our journey. All of us at the BCAE are proud to include you in the next chapter of BCAE history.
