The Government Center T Station is taking shape.  The glass entryway will be a welcome change for both above and below grade.

From The Boston Globe:

“The most visible sign of progress at the Government Center Station renovation project is the construction of an entryway called a ‘head house,’ which is set to be wrapped in glass and promises to brighten the underground transit hub when it reopens in the spring of 2016.”

“‘I love the project,’ said Brian P. Howland, a resident engineer for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. ‘This is an area that hasn’t had anything happen to it in over 45 years. Putting something like this in this area now is going to have a huge impact.’”
