• New Residence Hall Earns Prestigious Sustainability Recognition (tufts.edu) — A major new Tufts residence hall on Boston Avenue, Pachyderm Place, has earned pre-certification under the rigorous Passive House energy-efficiency standard and will be fully electric. Designed to align with Medford’s specialized stretch energy code, the 660-bed building across from the Medford/Tufts Green Line station will include ground-floor commercial space and significantly lower long-term energy use.
• Five Jumbos Earn All-Region Selections; Donato Named ABCA Region 1 Pitcher of the Year (gotuftsjumbos.com) — Tufts University’s Medford-based baseball program is celebrating five Jumbos earning All-Region honors, with senior pitcher Donato named ABCA Region 1 Pitcher of the Year. The standout season featured record-setting hitting, dominant starting pitching, and a shutdown closer, underscoring the strength of college baseball right in Medford’s backyard.
• Eviction Looms For Unhoused Youth At Wellington Station After Alleged Arson (binj.news) — Unhoused young adults living in a small encampment by Wellington Station in Medford face eviction and possible arrest by Friday after a recent fire near their tents. Camp residents describe the blaze as an alleged arson and praise Medford firefighters’ quick response, while worrying they have nowhere else to go once MBTA Transit Police clear the site.
