I was searching to see if there is any news on construction progress and I came across this on the Suffolk construction site. Apparently an earlier iteration of the design. Would this be a better option? https://suffolk.com/project/northeastern-university-matthews-arena/

Part of that proposal was that the whole parking lot behind CAS would become green space. I assume that has been cancelled too.

Northeastern owns the land beneath LightView and 840 Columbus. This gives the university some control on the ACC leasing policies. That was not the case with East Village.

Northeastern has purchased East Village residence hall from the private developer who built it. https://www.nbcboston.com/boston-business-journal/northeastern-pays-169-million-for-privately-built-dorm/3972702/

Matthews was on the verge of collapsing.

The original renderings showed the facade as silver brick. It was stated in the video that the color would change depending on how the light hits it. Perhaps the grey harkens back to Northeastern's traditional grey brick buildings.

Presentation from Northeastern. Detailed description of the new facility.

The Northeastern campus now stretches from Tremont St .to The Fenway and from Mass Ave to Ruggles St. I recently heard someone describe Northeastern as "a few buildings along Huntington Ave."

BU is having Trump inspired budget issues. In addition to the 120 occupied jobs, the university eliminated an extra 120 vacant positions and changed the schedules for around 20 employees. The cuts were part of a university-wide 5% budget reduction implemented to address financial strains...

This is costing $550 million already. BU likely couldn't afford a name architect.

The scaffolding on Tower B must have been put up while students were still living there.

JFK Federal building could use a power washing.

Ryerson University is now Toronto Metropolitan University. Mr. Ryerson was cancelled for what he did over a hundred years ago.

All these posters lamenting the demolition of Matthews, did you also lament the demolition of the old Boston Garden?

This is the original entry. Would you want this restored?
