Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
Does anybody have a floor plan? This strikes me as a small footprint.

Holy shit. It took like 7 weeks to go from "Pile O Dirt" to 8 stories.

Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
Not sure if anyone else has heard this, but I have it on pretty good authority that BU Dental School intends to build on the parking lot/loading doc entrance further up Albany St ~635. The site is across from NEIDL and next to its existing building on the corner of Albany and E. Newton.

Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
I'm impressed -- it's essentially a year from tearing down what was there to nearly having an enclosed shell for the new buiding
Boston should encourage starting about one of these sized structures every month as infill on the fringes of existing residental neighborhoods to provide appartments which seem to be in great demand today later some can be converted to reasonably priced, family-scale condos to meet the demand for ownership which will eventurally return |

Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
From what I see already, this is going to look a lot like a Hampton Inn.

However, we know that the Hampton Inn model is a very effecient design for the function (long-term stay hotel ==> dormitory) Besides some of them don't really look much like Hampton Inns -- including one right near by http://hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/h...tyhocn=BOSHSHX |

Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
My initial reaction to the building next to it was "why does a gym need such large garage doors" ?

Indistinguishable from any other BU building.

Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
Not sure if the right comment is "as inoffensive as their student center on Bay State Rd. should have been" or if it would have looked just as terrible next to century-old rowhouses.

Re: 817 Albany Street (BUMC Dorm)
Come to think about it, pretty much all of BU's new buildings are bland. Agganis, StuVi, East Campus Center, and now this. Really nice for a world top 100 university with a pretty large endowment
