Boston College Master Plan

The mods were low rent when they were 'built' and they are low rent now. BC aspires to be included among the top colleges yet continues to make some poor decisions regarding campus development, something, by the way, that is one of the 'top priorities' in its 'grand scheme'. What do they not get about it? The resources are there...
 
BC just acquired 23 acres of land across the street from the Newton campus where Mt. Alvernia High School used to be. This increases the size of the Newton campus by over 50%.

Boston College has purchased the 23-acre Mount Alvernia High School campus and convent property at 790 Centre Street in Newton from the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception.

The Franciscan Sisters made the decision to close the school and sell the property due to enrollment and financial challenges at Mount Alvernia High School. They reached out to Boston College, with which they have maintained close ties for more than 85 years, with the goal of keeping the property in the hands of a Catholic educational institution. The sale was completed on October 3.

University Spokesman Jack Dunn said Boston College intends to use the property for educational and administrative purposes.

The parcel contains three buildings and a garage comprising 73,850 gross square feet, and is located directly across Centre Street from the Newton Campus.

BC has really amassed the collection of properties in Newton and Brookline in recent years. Will be interesting to see how they use them for their expansion. I wonder if they will move some of their other Graduate Schools to remote campuses like Social Work and Theology/Ministry like they did with the Law School when they got the Newton Campus.
