An animated flyover of the completed project and various architectural drawings from the architect Payette.

The top floor patio looks amazing. I hope that it is actually built like the drawings.

I also hope it doesn't become an executive event space and maintains some level of public access

With how it looks to be in relation to the rest of that particular floor, it doesn't seem like it'll be cordoned off from the public. I'm thinking more so along the lines of the Curry Student Center Terrace.

From the flyover EXP seems to dwarf ISEC.

There was no groundbreaking ceremony due to COVID. Any word about a topping off ceremony?

That was quick

Interesting how from this angle it comes up to like the 13th floor of International Village despite being behind IV from this side

Looks like there was a topping off ceremony.

On Wednesday, the project team enjoyed Northeastern University's topping off ceremony at EXP, the newest addition to campus. The 350,000 square foot research building will join its neighbor, the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC), for which LeMessurier also served as...

Might be a dumb question, but does anyone know what" EXP" stands for? I Know ISEC stands for "Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex". I can't seem to find what "EXP" means.

I assume it's naming is related to Physics forums where "exp" means "exponential" function. I'm surprised it's not named after a donor or famous Physics researcher. Could it be that simple?

My guess is that both buildings will eventually be named for donors. Maybe the entire complex will be named for Aoun.

I think we can be confident that is exactly what that space is intended for.
