“The IMPNF will propose a new seven (7) story clinical building situated in the southeast corner of the Franciscan Campus, which will house both in-patient and out-patient uses. The IMPNF will also reference ongoing and proposed campus improvement an d maintenance projects, which are below the threshold for the term of the IMP, which will expire in 2033. The Franciscan Clinical building will add approximately 229,000 new Sf to the Franciscan Campus.”

This is the current design:





Compared to the previous design:

The new design is a massive downgrade imo, something youd see in a suburban office park. It wastes so much space and puts it way back from the street destroying the street wall it created with the previous design. Hopefully they undo the VE.

Huh. It looks like the original plan includes retaining most of the existing structure. The new plan would eliminate almost all of the existing hospital, except the school. - Im curious about what the impetus is there. Given the mission of the hospital /school, I can somewhat understand buffering the construction from the ongoing uses, but do think the original long term vision would have been better at it.

“As part of the approval of the 2024-2034 Franciscan Children’s IMP, the BPDA has approved a new project at 30 Warren Street in Brighton to build a new inpatient hospital catering to behavioral health medical services. This new hospital will replace the services currently within six buildings on the Franciscan Children’s campus, each of which will be demolished in phases as this new building is constructed……”

Bostonplans has had this project as being u/c for a couple of months now, but there was no work visible on site this morning (other than that they paved over part of a small park in the rear). Shame that they're going to demolish the center buildings.









 
Yea the newer plan is trash. Originally they kept the old buildings and put the new building up against the street. Now they demolish everything for a huge strip mall style parking lot with the building way in the back. Wtf..
