It looks like they've opted away from a glassy facade; in it's place a more appropriate, Sert-inspired brutalist design. The winter garden should be a nice touch.
BU has just released its updated institutional master plan for 2012-2022.

The long-term traffic volume trend along Commonwealth Avenue and adjacent streets
has been downward since 1987. Daily volumes west of the BU Bridge are approximately
17 to 18 percent lower in 2012 than in 1987. East of the BU Bridge, 2012 daily traffic
volumes are lower than 2001 volumes by 18 to 32 percent, depending upon the location.
On Bay State Road, daily volumes are down nearly 23 percent during this same time
period. Peak-hour traffic is also down throughout the campus: since the 2003 Master
Plan (2002 data), peakhour traffic has decreased between 9 percent and 25 percent.
Somebody tell the traffic "engineers:"
Right, and that not only can they go down, they have gone down. Therefore the standard operating procedure of assuming 0.5% growth in volumes per year is nonsense.
