The Longwood Collective’s popular “Outside//” placemaking program is in full swing in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area (LMA), featuring fun activities, musical performances, outdoor art, food trucks, fitness classes, and other amenities free and publicly available for LMA employees, patients, students, and visitors.

Outside// is supported by a team of three front-line “ambassadors” who help engage people with available programs and amenities and a team leader from Block by Block, a Kentucky-based firm that provides a suite of services to activate and maintain business and academic/medical districts like the LMA in Boston and cities throughout the country.
