The DPW campus is comprised of land and buildings along Albany Street and East Worcester Street totaling approximately 10 acres and 180,000 square feet of building space. The building space includes administrative offices, customer service, garaging, as well as barns/sheds. This collection of properties is adjacent to the Shrewsbury Street corridor, which connects the Downtown and Union Station with the East Side of the city, and is a gateway to Route 9, the UMass Medical School / University Hospital, UMass Medicine Science Park, the Reactory Biomanufacturing Park, and the Town of Shrewsbury. As the City of Worcester evaluates all of its public facilities, operational needs, opportunities for efficiency, and economic growth, there has long been a discussion among stakeholders regarding this exploration and visioning for the future of the DPW campus facilities.
