The Boston Architectural College recently completed a $14 million purchase and renovation project on Boylston Street, opening a new campus building for the first time in nearly 50 years.

The college purchased the building, formerly the Back Bay Police Station Division 16, at 951 Boylston St. in late 2006 to support increased enrollment and expanded programming. The project was completed by Commodore Construction and the Institute for Human Centered Design.

The edifice was built in 1887 and subsequently served as home to Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art. It now includes student meeting spaces, studios, a lecture hall and a gallery.

"The BAC's renovation of the former Division 16 Police Station at 951 Boylston Street into studios, workshops, and community gathering spaces marks the first time in nearly half a century that we have opened a new building for teaching professional design," President Ted Landsmark said in a statement. "We thank the many people who have brought this long-sought dream to fruition, and we are pleased to welcome new colleagues and friends to the BAC's Boylston Street campus facility."
