What: Boston Scores headquarters
Where: 150 Byron St., East Boston
Owner: Salesian Society Inc.
Built: 2022-2024 

An afterschool program that serves more than 1,500 students each year will double its capacity after completion of a building project designed by architects Margulies Perruzzi. 

Boston Scores partners with Boston Public Schools to provide students in grades K-12 with after-school soccer and enrichment programs. The nonprofit is expanding beyond its traditional scope, adding community-based programs including coaches’ training. 

The first phase of the project included renovations to the 39,320-square-foot building on Byron Street that Boston Scores shares with the Salesian Boys and Girls Club of East Boston after relocating from Jamaica Plain. Boston Scores occupies a new 2,850-square-foot office, youth program and conference room space for coach training. The Salesian Boys and Girls Club will continue to occupy the first two floors and a portion of the third floor. 

The project’s second phase is scheduled for completion in spring 2024 and will include a new 2,025-square-foot building along with a multi-field soccer field complex, playground and an outdoor classroom. 

They Said It: 

“The redesigned headquarters will not only serve as a hub for our impactful programs but also stand as a symbol of our unwavering dedication to nurturing the potential of the next generation.”
