Images...large posters with photos and history like some of the T stations. I have always enjoyed reading those.

The most forward thinking would be a good fit for Kendall Square; innovators and people who would benefit most from being near the tech hub.

The city mails the City View newsletter on ( I think) a quarterly basis, and it should certainly be included, also the #cambma #cambridgema #Kendall Square seem to be the hashtags I see most often across social media.

Since I was lead petitioner for landmarking of this building, I would love its history to be integrated into the use to permanently honor the women who toiled here and paved the way for women workers in industry today. East Cambridge was surely the center of industry during the turn of the century but lost in the accounts is the historic and substantial role of the neighborhood women (notably Polish) who worked in its Foundry. The evidence of their contribution was memorialized by the New York Times in three articles appearing in September, 1911, and covered in the press as far away as San Francisco. Controversy concerned women in the workplace, being paid half the man’s hourly wage; lifting as much as 150 lbs. on the job; stripping from waist up because of the heat of the foundry; working far more hours than allowed by law. The public debate at the time was so notorious that Governor Eugene Foss authorized a raid on the premises by the State Police. Lieutenant Governor supported such action, as did Mayor Barry of Cambridge and various Congregational ministers. The debate extended to a formal meeting at Faneuil Hall. Within a year, despite the investigation that found no violation of then existing law, Massachusetts passed the Employment of Women in the Core Rooms, Acts of 1912, Chapter 653, and the first Minimum Wage Act for Women in the Country, Chapter 706, Acts of 1912.

It's modern looking, and I think that although it is trendy, it will look good for the future.

I like New Construction Example 4 the best!

Address the light pollution - it would be such an improvement if light pollution were addressed, and became part of the permanent agenda in this and all other areas of Kendall Square where people "work during the day, and others live at night". It is an extraordinarily difficult living situation when the businesses don't consider what effect their lighting has on people who have to try to mitigate the effects of lumens the equivalent of the noon day sun when it is midnight. And of course it wastes energy and is unsightly.
