Students work at the Springfield Center.

Collaboration Between Communities

Based in Tower Square in the heart of downtown Springfield, the Henry M. Thomas III Center is the home of the Springfield–UMass Amherst Partnership. This partnership is at the head of a comprehensive strategy to create sustained and productive opportunities for collaboration between the university, the city's communities, and the broader Pioneer Valley. 

With this partnership, we're creating mutually beneficial relationships in the Greater Springfield region in areas like health, fine arts and the creative economy, natural sciences, engineering, green industries, management, sports, education, and economic development.
