The Engine expands, responding to rapid growth of “tough tech”

There's a third (smaller) building there but unmentioned in the article, so that might be saved for a future development?

Work has begun on the new startup incubator "The Engine". It looks like it includes all the buildings from 730 Main through 750 Main.

The Engine at MIT is revving up the potential of ‘tough tech’ - The Boston Globe
