It's in the article davec linked to. Paragraph 4.

They failed to notice or mention that the huge increase in graduate enrolment is due to the satellite campuses in Charlotte, Silicon Valley, Seattle and Toronto. That fact would not fit their agenda.

It's a city planning study. How do we know they have an agenda? In any case, it's an interesting twist and the paper should note it. Not trying to be a jerk, but do you have a source for that?

Does anyone know if the proposed demolition / construction of a new dorm tower is proceeding where Burstien / Rubenstein Hall is located?

They have been doing some work there this summer, but it's more of the repainting/repointing brick variety than the destruction variety.
 
Yeah gotta side with Whigh on this one. A headline or blurb would be my preference. (I say that as a fellow member, not a mod.)
 
this building seems to have mixed reception but no one can deny it's a better use of space than the surface lot it replaced

This building should be getting a lot more love. There's very little that's as well done as this being built anywhere else in town.
 
It is certainly a lot more interesting than the glass box BU is building on Comm Ave.
 
Northeastern Provost Bean indicated in a recent presentation that the next building to be built will be a new home for the D'Amore-Mckim School of Business.
 
It's a decent building. Love how it handles the sun reflection and turns copper-gold. My big issue with it is that it just completely fails on street presence. The side of the building is just really really bad.

If they could actually deck over the tracks here -- or at least build that bridge, or a few bridges -- that could knit the Huntington and Columbus sides together. I'm ok, psychologically and aesthetically, with bad street presence if at least there's a nice landscaped connection to another relevant area. The drawback here is the barrier of the tracks only reinforces the cold, sterile, windswept and dead-end-ness of the bad street level presence.
