A Harvard lecturer and her husband have filed suit against the University and the Cambridge Board of Zoning Appeal claiming that the expansion of Harvard's Biological Laboratories (biolabs) at 16 Divinity Avenue was illegal.
Maila Walter, a lecturer in the History of Science, and her husband, Edward Walter, allege that Harvard's $2.4 million expansion project should not have been approved by the city because the new building does not meet the prerequisites established by the zoning board.
The suit also claims that Harvard tried to conceal the height increase of the new structure in order to get the expansion approved by the zoning board.
