BOSTON— Topping off ceremony for The Auerbach Center at New Balance World Headquarters, the Boston Celtics’ new practice facility at Boston Landing, was held this week.

Located at 40 Guest Street in Boston, the Auerbach Center will be the latest dramatic element at Boston Landing — at 55 feet in the air cantilevered out to the edge of the Mass Pike. The Celtics’ new practice facility will be highly visible from the Massachusetts Turnpike with a forty foot glass wall enclosing the practice courts that face the approximately 130,000 daily commuters. The practice facility will encompass approximately 70,000 square feet.

Officials who attended the ceremony included Ted Dalton, Senior Vice President, Partnerships & Business Development, Boston Celtics; Boston Martin J. Walsh; Mark Clinard, Vice President of Global Footwear, New Balance; and Robert Graham, Director, NB Development Group.
