I remember when the mods were built in the early 1970's as temporary housing. That was back when BC was on the verge of bankruptcy.

I was browsing through the BPDA site and came across this. It is the initial proposal for ISEC! Thank God more creative minds prevailed. Northeastern University - Interdisciplinary Science Building | Boston Planning & Development Agency (bostonplans.org)

The city considers that Roxbury Crossing?

Those buildings will be backfilled with something. BU's ever increasing research activity needs space. Despite BU owning most of the Kenmore Square area they still lease space in a few buildings there.

Interesting that the office floors appear to have balconies but not the residential floors.

Now if the city would get off its a** and approve the 840 Columbus residence hall!

Given BU's track record with building maintenance (the Law tower before it was gutted) I doubt if this building will siphon anything out of the research budget.

Not only this building but there was a fire in the condo building while under construction and all the problems they are having with the garage demolition.

I think this project is cursed!

What is the status of Simmons constructing its new residential tower on its main campus?

As someone on reddit commented, i hope that this is a CAMD student project. I checked the IMP from 2013. Those renderings are not there. Northeastern University Campus Master Plan by NBBJ - Issuu

I wonder how this project will interface with Northeastern's plans to develop their portion of that block?

Boston City Hall was daring when constructed. It was loved then and now it is maligned.

Deliberate ugliness is a long-standing BU tradition: the cement Gothic block, the Sert complex, Warren Towers etc. It is rare to see such a continuity of (bad) design in one area.

I was about to say that!
