Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
if the crane was moving that is definitely great news because I have not seen that crane move an inch in months.

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
A student I know at Berklee who does the phone-a-thons (i.e. calling alums for money) found out last week that the move-in date for the building has been bumped to January 2014 from Fall 2013. [no surprise to this board, of course]

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
This. I've seen the elevator moving, though, quite frequently. There's obviously quite the bit of activity. But nothing that could otherwise move forward with no windows.

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
I was waiting for a panel they were lifting with the crane to get off the ground, but after standing on the corner for ~10 minutes watching them lift it up a few feet then put it down again I just snapped that pic and walked away. It didn't look like glazing though, but it was def some large type of assembly.
Still, movement is movement. This thing is starting to show signs of its stagnation, the temp walls and scaffolding and such are getting dirty and rusty. They need to finish it.

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
I'm thoroughly confused by that too. It doesn't look like there's any room for the actual dorm rooms. I'm guessing all that is temporary (so they can build out the interior) until the curtain wall is installed and everything is properly sealed??

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
One of the guys told me it's temporary. If you're close enough you can see it's only about 3 ft from the edge of the building. Presumably the dorm rooms (quick to finish) are on the exterior walls and bathrooms, stairs and elevators (longer construction times) are in the windowless interior so they kept working behind this. There are plenty of people coming to the site in the mornings I know that from my walks.
Many of the pink panels arrived over the weekend. A few are on trucks along Mass Ave and two are propped up in the alley closest to St. Cecilia's parish. Interested in how they will look installed.

Re: Berklee Expansion Plans
I drove by this a few days ago and noticed a crane lifting a gridded glass panel over Mass Ave. Though reading this thread not sure if it was being put into place or taken down!
