    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    http://www.studioenee.com/northeastern-ryder-entry?fbclid=IwAR3TQT6W9RhETeO6GD58IR0xoirY9n6fNIUTyzl5cgkHWOZvB4ZhIcQbgNg It's a minor, minor thing, but they're "renovating" the Ryder awning at the entrance. I'm 99.99% sure it's entirely unrelated to any of the IMP's plans regarding the Ryder Lot...

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Last I heard it was still under review. I think they had originally wanted to break down As a follow-up to this point, NEU is continuing to rent out the Westin Hotel and all (or just half now?) of the Midtown Hotel and, new this year, is renting out the Sheraton Hotel as well. With them having...

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Don’t know if this is the right thread for it, but NEU is using two Wentworth buildings (Edwards and Richards) for housing purposes this year. I’m assuming they’re only leasing them out because of the over admitting issues they’re having this year, but I can’t help but wonder if the over...

    409 Huntington Ave | The Fenway

    Interesting proximity to the Punter’s Pub/Burstein/Rubenstein housing redevelopment that it looks like NEU is eyeing in the future.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Entirely valid point. I think this contrast will be more noticeable to the general public once the cars are actually regularly on the tracks, though. A better way of putting what I was trying to say is that T riders will definitely enjoy these trains once they see them, but I just don't think...

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    I genuinely don't think the average T rider gets "hyped" over new trains. To most, the T is just something to get them from point A to point B. And as long as it does so within their expectations (in this case, the usual time it takes them between their destinations), they won't care what model...

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Liking the vibe of it a lot. As expected, looks like ISEC's twin sister, just with a slightly more useable floor plan since there isn't a big atrium this time around. When you consider the two buildings together as a joint complex, they'll complement each other very nicely down the road. Also...

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    Don't think anyone has dropped this link in here, but here's NEU official website on the 840 Columbus project. Not much new info here, but I did learn from this that there were at one point preliminary talks to build a hotel on part of the site. https://campusplanning.northeastern.edu/840-columbus/

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Why is Union Square marked as the D branch, but only C and E trains are seen past Govt Center?

    EXP | 795 Columbus Avenue | Northeastern University

    Does anybody know if the sloped path leading up to the ISEC bridge will be reconstructed at some point? It felt oddly strange for it to be built and then promptly torn up a few months later for EXP construction. My gut says it will come back eventually since the current handicap-accessible ramp...

    Northeastern University - Institutional Master Plan

    Richardson Plaza is seeing some more renovations. For what it’s worth, the last round of renovations discussed in this thread weren’t so much “renovations” as much as throwing down some green furniture...

    The Official MBTA System Map

    Oh definitely. I prefer this over geographic realism. Including the bodies of water provides a point of reference, but from there everything else should (and is) about disseminating information.

    The Official MBTA System Map

    The issue with this map is that it doesn't show all the GL stops.

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    This thread was convinced for weeks that it wasn’t the cars. I never understood that rationale that people thought the MBTA was willingly keeping the new trains off the tracks just for the hell of it. They want the new cars out there just as much as everyone else. They weren’t going to keep...

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    While NEU does have a large swarth of international students, to say that white students are the minority does not seem accurate at all.

    Graffiti Images, Art, or Nuisance

    ACC/NU Residence Hall | 840 Columbus Ave | Northeastern University

    This is somewhat what of a tangent, but NEU recently updated all their signange and banners to be 2021 focused (both for graduation and the upcoming school year, I would assume). Something interesting I noticed on all of them is that they all say "Mayor Janey" on them somewhere. And my memory...
