Former Interstate Ramp Makes Way For $158M 'Innovation Superhighway'

A once-busy interstate highway ramp will soon be Rhode Island's newest technology-innovation complex, and will even include a hotel.

Shawmut Design and Construction was awarded the bid and will construct the $53 million Phase 1 shell and core, which includes elevators, staircases, heating and cooling systems along with the stub walls and bathrooms for the tenant space, and the entrance lobby.

Crane Lifts Two Pieces Of Holocaust History Amidst Museum Expansion

The Holocaust Museum in Houston is currently in the middle of a $50 million expansion project, which prompted the relocation of an old railcar and a Danish boat. These artifacts represent two different sides of the Holocaust history: the boat is the same kind of boat that was used to smuggle Jews out of danger during the war and the railcar is just one of many that the Nazis used to take millions of Jews to concentration camps.
