Yeah, I was wondering that same thing. If the Cabot demolition is still on track, I imagine that it won't happen for a few years from now. so maybe the current renovations are just "Bandaids" until the full demolition can take place. I guess time will tell!

The snell library renovation was approved recently. On slide 13 there's a timeline of project milestones NU wants to achieve. Looks like Matthews's addition is next on the list. I'm glad to see 840 Columbus is still on their minds...

"840 Columbus Avenue is a proposed project that would be a combination student housing and 5 floors of university space. This is next to Renaissance parking garage. Currently delayed due to the...
I would love it if they did something to the Richardson Plaza ( that ugly concrete plaza that has the law school). You could build some nice dorm there. Does anyone know what they ended up doing with punter's pub? Last time I checked, it's been empty for years. NEU seems to have space and...
Might be a dumb question, but does anyone know what" EXP" stands for? I Know ISEC stands for "Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex". I can't seem to find what "EXP" means.
I'm pretty new to construction timelines, but it seems like they have been making great progress in a short amount of time. But again, I have no idea ;)
I'm so tired of the same talking points. Can someone explain how building on what used to be parking lots is pushing people out of the community? I'm not originally from Mass, but when I moved here, around the time ISEC was still under construction, that area was dead. Now with ISCE, LIghtview...
I also noticed that they mentioned the punter's redevelopment. My current theory is that it will be temporary extra study space for the college of computer science (khoury ).
maybe rooms for collaboration among students and professors, since Khoury is right next door. You could also include a...
Can't wait when NU announces plans to build another student dorm and the whole community screams " you need to house more students" well, we could have housed more students with the last project but you didn't like the height...
Is it me or are these meetings just an opportunity to point fingers at NU instead of having constructive criticism. The whole two hours is just "NU didn't do this" "NU didn't do that" " NU doesn't care". I'm all for NU doing more for the community but since when was it NU's responsibility to...
Likewise, some NU students are very hostile towards ISEC and EXP. Demanding that NU puts more time into building housing. But when NU does build more they scream "We need more housing, but don't build in Roxbury"
I think this is why we are starting to see universities work with private companies in order to build more housing. Northeastern already has lightview. NEU owns the land but is operated by ACC. This cuts out the building cost and other expenses @dshoost88 mentioned. I am sure we will see other...
