The "feels-like" temperature has been in the negatives for the past few days. And that's on the ground. I can't imagine how cold it must be up there for those guys.

Plan is to complete the crane by tomorrow.

Residents in Lightview were invited to a focus group a few days ago regarding that space in the lobby of Lightview. It’ll probably be filled sooner rather than later.

Surprise, surprise, but the massing of the building has changed again. Height is slightly lower and there's a few less beds. The massing now more so "goes towards the center" of the plot of land.

Goal of breaking ground in August 2021, building completion in August 2024, per Kathy Spiegelman

Low resolution because it's a direct screenshot from the BPDA meeting, but a different angle of the building that I personally haven't seen before.

Nothing new, but it was brought up during the 840 Columbus Task Force development meeting

Exactly my point. Half of the NEU student body just assumes anything below the OL tracks is just immediately "Roxbury" without even considering the fact the you could argue the South End is a thing. It's definitely cutting it close, however.

What I don't get about this argument that if they consider the 840 Columbus lot as being in Roxbury, then EXP is virtually in Roxbury also. So, it's not like they could throw housing up where EXP is instead and suddenly not have any concerns about expanding into Roxbury.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. It’s not even like the university is evicting current community members from their houses to build this residential development. They’re specifically building on an empty parking lot for the sake of the surrounding community.

Figured this shot of the WIP crane looked cool with the sunset in the background.

Crane is going up! EDIT: Crane was partially* up. Now, it’s about the same height as the Lightview building.

Hard to make out, but the site is active tonight! NUPD has set up detours while some pretty big trucks are heading in. It’s hard to tell, but in the middle of the second picture something is going vertical which I can only assume is for the previously discussed crane

They've been doing extensive renovations to Speare Hall for the past few years; I can't seem them replacing that building in the near future after putting all that work into it. Speare also houses a significant number of freshman. If they were to replace that building down the road, it'd be...

On that note, when do we think NEU will build anything like a traditional dorm again? They really only have two planned spaces for further residential developments (Ryder Lot, Punters/Burstein/Rubenstein plot of land), and I don't know if they'll just move forward with the ACC format for these...

It will honestly depend on how many applications they get. In the case of NU, they'll only increase enrollment if the number of applications is high enough that their acceptance rate goes down again. Last I checked, it was hovering around ~18-19%. I wouldn't be surprised if they're aiming to...

Record enrollments are occurring because of record applications. And schools like NEU are going to cap their enrollment numbers at a certain point no matter how many applications they get because they're all about rising in the rankings.
