Originally the building was to have 12 stories, but the Cambridge Planning Board forced Holmes to scale down the design to seven stories...
...undisclosed crimes. But as with all behavior-related preventable diseases, some unexpressed part of our psyche--and it is crucial that it remain unexpressed--feels a need to assign blame. We could always blame the University's administration (after all, this is the editorial page) for its failure to design workstations conducive to our health, but when we consider the fact that most students use their own computing equipment, this accusation holds little weight. It would be satisfying to point fingers at University Health Services and other campus offices and organizations for not alerting us enough to the dangers...
...site we have been studying is at the edge of campus, on a mixed-use block bordered by the Graduate School of Design in Gund Hall, the international centers in Coolidge Hall, the Swedenborg Chapel, houses on Kirkland Street (one of which houses the Core program) and academic and residential structures on Sumner Road. We understand and share what we take to be the community's central concerns: to conserve and improve the green space behind Gund Hall and to build in keeping with the scale of the site, respecting its proximity to a residential neighborhood. One way to accomplish...
...this spirit, I welcomed Schlesinger's letter, but regret that the accompanying sketch may have misled readers. The planning committee has not yet recommended an architect for this project, much less chosen a specific site or design, so any representations of it would be purely conjectural. Preliminary studies have all proposed a building of 45,000 to 60,000 square feet, with additional space below grade connecting the new building to Coolidge Hall. The sketch, to my admittedly untrained eye, grossly exceeds the scale of the building represented in these studies, and implies that a location has already been determined...
...works. FAS has assembled a Web site containing transcripts of meetings, maps of the site and detailed diagrams of the various proposals for the center (the site is located at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~planning/cgis). And administrators say they are willing to work with residents to select the most suitable design for the space. The early proposals call for a relatively low building of several stories; much space may be created underground, leaving as much or more green space on street level as currently exists...
