Phase II has been changed a bit: rather than constructing the commercial building at 250 Binney St., they're now proposing to build a taller building at 325 Main St. (conceivably to accommodate Google's growth and approximately the same square footage): website and presentation.

Yes - the building is definitely for CS, Math, and the Hariri Institute. The podium will cover the entire parking lot from east to west but will have a cutout on the northeast portion for a small outdoor area (as of now). The podium will be university space with classrooms and common areas.

The podium of the building is four floors and will span the width of the parking lot. Starting at the fifth floor, there's a tower that rises up to floor 17 on the west half of the building. The floor plates of the tower are offset every couple of floors, similar to an uneven stack of books. The...

Yes, the parking lot next to Sargent is for Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, and the Hariri Institute for Computing, as well as classroom space. Another note on this building: I am pretty sure there is no parking included. COM certainly needs a new building, but I really hope it does...

BU is currently wrapping up the design process of a new building to go next to Sargent in the parking lot on Comm. Ave. The building recently got bumped in height and will be 17 stories, plus a mechanical penthouse, making it as tall or taller than Warren Towers. Will share renders as soon as...

Did anyone else notice that the render for Building 1 on the coUrbanize site is different from previous renders?

As someone who walks over the BU Bridge daily, I've often wished that I-90 was below grade here. Was the scenario ever explored for putting that road underground at the throat and moving Soldier's Field Road over on top of it? It would certainly add to the public realm by potentially reducing...

As of this afternoon, the elevator shaft had been removed from the top half of the building.

Not sure if this has already been posted, but MIT has a nice website for this project: https://volpe.mit.edu. There's a presentation from May 10 that includes some preliminary massing for three different configurations...
