Sneak Peek of the New ICA Building
By Monica Brady-Myerov

Listen to story (Real Audio)

Boston - April 05, 2006 - The Institute of Contemporary Art will open its new waterfront museum on fan pier in Boston this September.

The building is expected to anchor development on the waterfront, which will eventually include residential space plus hotel, office and retail space.

At this stage, the ICA is taking shape alongside Anthony's Pier 4 Restaurant and a vast expanse of parking lots nearby.

When the construction site was opened for a guided media tour yesterday, Monica Brady-Myerov went along for a look.
