...would continue to write and file an annual report. In his report, which was addressed to the alumni Board of Overseers, Bok reflects on the major projects of his year, citing in particular the completion of the curricular review, the continued momentum on Harvard’s expansion into Allston, and the establishment of the Harvard University Science and Engineering Committee, which is charged with encouraging interdisciplinary scientific research. Bok’s assessment captures a university in transition. He writes that the curricular review’s recommendations “represent the most comprehensive group of proposals...
...Make it welcoming. As Harvard moves toward greater collaboration and interdisciplinary teaching and research, new structures will be needed to bring faculty and students from various disciplines together in human-scale buildings with plenty of places to cross paths and learn from each other. The Allston campus will also be permeable, welcoming neighbors into green spaces and connecting residents to its educational and cultural resources. Both Harvard’s master plan and the North Allston Neighborhood Strategic Framework Plan call for blending the University community and Allston residents and visitors, particularly at Barry’s Corner, with...
...word I hear most often when discussing Harvard’s master plan for Allston is “opportunity”—the same word every Commencement speaker will use this month about graduates facing the next phase of their young lives.

After more than a decade of consultation, Harvard announced its master plan in January, laying out a strategic framework for 50 years of development in Allston. Since then, our plans have been in the public eye and have benefited from further scrutiny and input of the Harvard community, neighbors, city officials, business leaders, and others. Every day, Harvard planners, engineers, faculty, consultants, neighbors, and city officials dive deep into the details of bringing the master plan to life, with new roads, building designs, construction planning, budgets, and schedules, right down to mapping the route that construction trucks will...
...Make it work. Harvard will require the best design that world-class architects and engineers can create, guided by strategic academic planning that envisions Harvard’s present and future teaching and research needs. The researchers and students who will study and work in the Allston science complex will address critical life sciences questions and contribute life-saving discoveries to our society. The proposed Harvard University Art Museums Allston art center will bring more people—from students and scholars to the curious visitor—in closer touch with an exceptional art collection.
