Looks on schedule for an August occupancy and fully functional for the start of the Fall semester in September.

As Northeastern has grown and built many architecturally attractive buildings, I have come to realize that Krentzman Quadrangle has become an iconic site on the campus. What was once seen as drab, gray, industrial architecture has aged into a unique cohesive whole. Dodge, Ell and Richards on...

I never thought that I would hear the word "boutique" to describe housing in East Boston.

Student feedback about 39 Dalton has been very favorable, despite the walk to campus. Maybe this is why the 840 Columbus project has not been moving forward. Likely is a lot cheaper than the cost of building that new dorm. Northeastern can now use the space for an academic building.

That is part of their PILOT program. Northeastern does the same for BPS graduates.

You cannot look at the sticker price. Most students at WIT, Northeastern and BU receive grants and/or scholarships to reduce the cost.

For Boston public schools standards, a 40-year-old building is practically brand new.

Can't tell how this interfaces with Northeastern's portion of the block. There would have to be a blank wall facing NU if they are building right up to the property line.

Northeastern is doing a floor-by-floor renovation of Snell. I have not seen the details. Like many academic libraries nowadays, there will be very few physical books remaining in the building when finished. In Boston University's latest IMP, they are planning a complete renovation of Mugar...

UGH! I was hoping that they would build out the first and second floors. That entryway has always been a dingy space. Much of the pre-1995 campus is gray. Northeastern has been trying to brighten it up with the various artwork murals. But this? No.

Actually, the presence of a restaurant and a college fitness center in the building does not preclude there being a CIA ops center in the building. The UDG on the first floor used to be a CVS. The ugly facade is now crumbling. A perfect cover! :cool:

I wonder if developers deliberately add more floors to their project than they want to build. Knowing that the city/NIMBY's will chop off floors no matter what the proposed height.

If it is built and fails to get tenants, Northeastern could always buy it!

But the IMP has no mention of a new building or even a major renovation of one for COM. That tells me BU has not decided what to do. I asked in that thread if there was a deadline for IMP submission because the IMP appears to be incomplete.

Read the BU IMP thread here. There is a link to the new IMP. The COM building will be demolished for another STEM building. The IMP makes no mention of a new COM building being built. When asked at the presentation a BU official said COM would be relocated "to the western side of the...

Pardee gets a new building while COM will be kicked out of its dumpy old building with no published plans for a new site.

But that is not why most people hate the City Hall building.

I wonder how many people praising this BU building have condemned Boston City Hall and/or called for its demolition. City Hall was considered new, interesting and groundbreaking when built in the 1960's.

One question about this building and Northeastern's ISEC and EXP: With all the fins, how do they wash the windows?

Finally some interior pictures of the building in full use: Photo Gallery: BU’s Newest Building Is a Big Hit | BU Today | Boston University
