The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Services announced it will buy the property of the former Crowne Plaza Hotel in Worcester, Mass., to meet the demands of increasing enrollment and new undergraduate and graduate programs.
Like the college’s other recent projects in Worcester, the former hotel site at 10 Lincoln Square will be converted into academic and student space. As the Worcester MCPHS campus adds more degree programs to match the offerings of its sister campus in Boston, the new space is expected to fulfill the needs of the growing student population.
MCPHS is making a voluntary payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) to the city for the space—the first time a nonprofit has done so in Worcester.
