The Massachusetts Life Science Center recently awarded $5 million to the Museum of Science - the funds will go toward construction of a new exhibit known as the Hall of Human Life. About 10,000 square-feet have been designated for the Hall, which will offer museum visitors a unique way of understanding our own biology. It will also help bolster the local economy, which has recently shown signs of life after a difficult recession period.

"This project will create jobs, advance knowledge of human biology, and inspire young people to pursue careers in the life sciences, key to positioning Massachusetts as a world leader in the life sciences," said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick.

Boston's Museum of Science is one of the oldest and most venerated institutes of its type in the U.S. Because of the sensitive nature of the project, businesses will need the proper construction equipment during the building process. This is why contractors may want to turn to IronPlanet, which carries a wide array of items such as cranes and excavators, to help prepare for the project.
