Be part of Lexington's vibrant celebrations by adding your touch to one of three stunning murals. Whether you're an artist or just curious, everyone is welcome to make their mark!

This paint party is part of the East Lexington Mural and Area Activation Project, which seeks to revitalize exterior retail facades that face the Minuteman Bikeway in East Lexington.

Construction Update

For anyone new to Munroe, we are fully engaged in a project to make our building accessible to all, and moving away from fossil fuels.

Last month the architect construction drawings were finished, and we are now waiting for bids to come in. The project will be overseen by the Lexington Public Facilities Department.

The area in turquoise in this image shows the new main entry that will house a three-floor elevator, and new restrooms. The main building will be going from gas to heat pumps, and will bring in building-wide air conditioning! Updates as they happen will be posted our our website and social media, and in these monthly newsletters.
