The Walters, who live behind the biology labs on Francis Ave, are charging that the University lied in its application to expand and renovate the labs.
The Walters charged that the greater noise caused by fans on the building's roof has become unbearable. since last fall's expansion of the labs. Ms. Walter said she has even had trouble sleeping.
And Harvard officials maintained that the Walters have acknowledged these improvements, according to a January 6 letter from Kathy A. Spiegelman, Harvard director of planning, to Robert R. Bersani, managing director of the Cambridge inspectional services department.
But in their statement of appeal to the board,the Walters also charged that the language inHarvard's permit application was incorrect. Forthat reason, Mrs. Walter said they still have acase against the University.
"We suggest that the altered spatialconfiguration resulting from the new constructionchanged the sound characteristics of the buildingand thus the acoustic output of the entire systemof fans," the Walters' statement said.
