Massachusetts House of Representatives Majority Whip Robert H. Quinn co-sponsored the bill to establish UMass Boston in the House.
Massachusetts Governor Endicott Peabody (1963–1965) signed the bill into law on June 18, 1964.
UMass Boston leased part of the Boston Park Plaza (then known as the Statler Hilton Boston) for faculty and departmental office space in the late 1960s, while in February 1966, the Massachusetts General Court appropriated funds for the university to purchase the former headquarters of the Boston Gas Company (in the foreground) which the company had leased to the university in September 1965 for its inaugural semester.
Also in the late 1960s, UMass Boston leased the Armory of the First Corps of Cadets and converted it into the university's first library.
