Seaport Innovation Center
About
Seaport Innovation Center is the building in Boston’s Seaport formerly known as District Hall, billed as the world’s first free-standing public innovation center. Since opening in 2013 it has hosted thousands of events and hundreds of thousands of people, serving as a hub of innovation, collaboration and community engagement. Its free public Lounge has also given people an indoor place to work in the neighborhood, while event spaces can be booked by organizations.
After a decade of use, the building closed on January 1, 2024, for a significant renovation under its new name. Plans called for modernized meeting spaces, new and improved AV and meeting technology, a more comfortable and welcoming free public Lounge and other enhanced amenities, with the goal of encouraging more connection and collaboration. Event bookings for the space are handled through WS Development, the company behind much of the Seaport district.
