"...affordable housing project that will be located just south of Boston in Chelsea" Chelsea is north of Boston. Who hires these writers?

Lightview and the 840 Columbus buildings are/will be owned by ACC, not Northeastern. Although both are built on land that Northeastern owns and will continue to own. That gives the university some control of the use of the buildings. It has to do more with Northeastern's attempt to house...

Drone fly around and through of the CDS building.

It may be mentioned in the submission, but I assume that BU will do one tower at a time. Each tower would need to be vacated in turn. Does BU have an extra 600 beds in other dorms to accommodate the displaced students?
