The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the Senate today unveiled renderings for its approximately $60 million site, which is expected to break ground in Dorchester this fall.
The institute will be located next to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum on the University of Massachusetts-Boston campus.

Sen. Kennedy envisioned the institute as a living, breathing, constantly evolving bipartisan center that would reflect his passion for education, history and civic engagement.
The institute hopes to raise $125 million to cover the building expenses and start an endowment, Meade said.
Federal earmarks worth $38.6 million have already been signed into law for the institute. U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry and U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Malden) sought an additional $20 million in the next budget. Kennedy’s widow, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, told the Herald in May she will reject any additional earmarks beyond the $20 million being sought.
Plans for the institute include an exhibit hall, Senate Chamber representation, replica of Kennedy’s office, classrooms, digital library and oral history archives and exhibit hall.

The institute will also house the Edward M. Kennedy Oral History Project, which is billed as the largest ever oral history of an American politician.

Sure glad the Mass-Rats are going to put all those earmarks to good use by building a monument to a Fat Pompous Ass whose greatest achievements consisted of killing women, sucking the government teat, living off of daddy's rum-running fortune, and turning alcohol into water.
The facility will include a spacious bar and an underwater tank for Chappaquiddick re-enactment.
will there be a natatorium, complete with sunken ‘67 Olds Delmont 98?
The design should have been done by the Scotch...a wide bottomed base with a bulbous tower atop it, with no lights on.
Ded Kennedy (D-HELL) is already memorialized...in perpetual flames.
And the cafeteria will surely feature The Waitress Sandwich.
Federal earmarks worth $38.6 million have already been signed into law for the institute.
Pukeworthy.
It’s a quite historic event in American History.
It kept that fat, drunken, lying sack-of-sh!t out of the White House.
and bought him a front row seat to Hell.
The Official Vehicle of the Edward "Teddy" Kennedy Institute.
Don’t forget the private room for molesting the waitresses.
It would be situated right next to water...
What about the Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial Wing?
Guess not.
The Canonization of Teddy.
What fool would donate to this piece of crap.
Will it include a “How to Cheat on Your Spanish Class Leading to Your Expulsion from Harvard” display?
Or a “Avoid Massachusetts Estate Taxes by Filing Your Mother’s Will in Florida Even Though She Didn’t Leave the State of Massachusetts for the Last 12 Years of Her Life” seminar?
Can’t wait to see!!!
Right next to the water too. I see.
Mary Jo Kopechne is unavailable for comment.
Wouldn’t a drunk driving school be more appropriate?
