ANNUAL REPORT ON HARVARD UNIVERSITY’S  Cooperation Agreements  with the City of Boston APRIL 1, 2014 – JUNE 30, 2015 ANNUAL REPORT ON HARVARD UNIVERSITY’S  Cooperation Agreements  with the City of Boston APRIL 1, 2014 – JUNE 30, 2015

In just the past year, Harvard completed the planning, design and construction of 12,000 square feet of new space at 224 Western Avenue that will serve as the launching pad for the suite of programs and projects that will transform our interactions as neighbors and the lives KEVIN CASEY, of those who gather and interact in this space. Harvard and the Allston-Brighton community Associate Vice President, have been justly proud of the accomplishments achieved together in the original 3,000 square Harvard Public Affairs & Communications (HPAC) foot Harvard Allston Education Portal—at the core of which are interactions between Harvard students, faculty and the community. Mentoring and lectures became the building blocks for something grander in scale and in vision. This year, we combined existing Harvard Education Portal programs with new initiatives like HarvardX for Allston and concerted arts and cultural engagements that have served to catalyze new ideas and create a spectrum of programs that already are transforming the way we interact. Excitement at Harvard among staff, students and faculty has grown along with the range of programs and interactions.

Harvard University has a valued, longtime partnership with the Allston-Brighton neighborhood and the City of Boston. The chance to serve as an active member in the community has unlocked countless opportunities for collaboration between Harvard and the many active organizations and individuals who, together, make the fabric of Allston-Brighton strong, vibrant and diverse. Many of these partnerships informed, and are memorialized as, commitments that are part of Harvard’s three active cooperation agreements with the City of Boston. We hope that this Annual Report provides a meaningful update on the status of the partnership between Harvard, the City of Boston, and the Allston-Brighton community, and serves as a window into a broader range of collective engagements and activities.

While this report reflects the past year, it is important to remember the building blocks that are the cornerstones of these partnerships. In April 2008, the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) and Harvard University outlined a series of new and expanded Allston community programs and neighborhood enhancements associated with approval of the proposed Allston Science Complex. Since then, cooperation agreements related to the 28 Travis Street project and the 2014 Institutional Master Plan have been supported by the Harvard Allston Task Force and approved and signed by the BRA. Collectively, these three agreements build upon each other’s commitments and each one was informed by extensive interactions with the community, the City of Boston and the Harvard Allston Task Force to ensure an evolution that best serves the entire Allston-Brighton community.

We are pleased to submit our Annual Report and share with you the flourishing products of Harvard and Allston- Brighton partnerships. The progresses and accomplishments of this past year reflect Harvard’s commitment to partnering with the Allston-Brighton community and contributing to the neighborhood’s development. We are proud to be a part of the Allston-Brighton neighborhood, and look forward to continuing and deepening our partnerships in the years to come.

Harvard’s Public School Partnerships (PSP) team continues to deepen ties with educators, parents, and students within the Boston Public Schools (BPS), with community-based organizations, and with local residents. The PSP team also works to coordinate with Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and other schools on campus to deepen the level of engagement with BPS and expand on the breadth of resources that are shared. It is through these connections that Harvard is able to offer a partnership that is responsive to community needs and includes: professional development opportunities for in-school and out-of-school educators, access to Harvard resources for the Gardner Pilot Academy (GPA), the Jackson Mann K-8 School, and other BPS Network D schools. PSP also works to engage local families in parent workshops and events that support student success.

As champions of lifelong learning, Harvard designs programs for learners young and old. From Faculty Speaker Series lectures in Allston on a diverse range of subjects, to opportunities that bring members of the community onto campus through community scholarships and museum passes, these programs bring Harvard’s greatest strengths—teaching and research—to learners of all ages.

Launching partnerships to support homeowners...

Recognizing recent trends in the Boston housing market, Harvard committed to contribute to a new program that seeks to help stabilize Allston-Brighton housing stock and create homeownership opportunities for current and future long-term residents. This past year, Harvard and the BRA executed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Allston Brighton Community Development Corporation (ABCDC) that defines the programmatic goals and mechanics of the Harvard Allston Housing Fund.

This program exemplifies the real impact that can emerge from leveraging shared resources. ABCDC is using its existing homebuyer education capacity to create a pipeline for buyers in the Allston-Brighton community. It is through these kinds of commitments—from community partners and from resident homeowners—that Allston-Brighton can remain a neighborhood where people can and want to lay roots.

The Harvard Allston Housing Fund has gone beyond the planning stages. It is now being fully implemented and is already showing real impact. In the first three months of the program, the fund has enabled the acquisition of its first home, paving the way for additional benefits to future homeowners and the residents ofAllston-Brighton.

Additionally, Harvard completed a feasibility study of Soldiers Field Road Crossings to identify potential improvements to access between the Charles River and the neighborhood through pedestrian and bicycle crossings.

In the past year, Harvard also fulfilled commitments on projects that are currently being enjoyed by the community. In addition to the continued maintenance of Raymond V. Mellone Park, Harvard has launched a concert series, bringing family-friendly entertainment to the community during the summer months. Harvard continues to contribute toward the transformation of Barry’s Corner. The Grove at the corner of Western Avenue and North Harvard Street (which opened to the public in summer 2014) provides important open space, including new street furniture and plantings. With the Harvard Ed Portal open as of February 2015, 224 Western Avenue is now fully activated with carefully designed exterior features, adding to an inviting streetscape. As of summer 2015, the Harvard Allston Farmers’ market now operates in front of 224 Western Avenue, allowing for high visibility and easy access to the vibrant marketplace. And of course, after breaking ground in 2014, Samuels’ Continuum project will open its doors to tenants in fall 2015.

PARTNERSHIP FUNDS PARTNERSHIP TOGETHER

The Harvard Allston Partnership Fund was created by Harvard and the City of Boston in collaboration with the Allston-Brighton community. By putting funding in the hands of organizations that work closely with the local community, Partnership Funds directly support neighborhood improvement projects, cultural enrichment and educational programming. The program awards $100,000 in grants each year. The first round of grants was distributed in June 2009. To date, Harvard has awarded $700,000 in grants to 21 community organizations. This annual funding has been extended through 2023 as part of Harvard’s most recent Cooperation Agreement with the City of Boston.

As extensive as Harvard’s engagements are through its cooperation agreements, they do not capture the full story of the University’s commitment to community benefits. Harvard HELPING MANAGE A understands what it means to be a good neighbor and is excited about opportunities to work CUBIC YARDS with the City of Boston and the community to participate in projects that go beyond the scope OF SNOW of community benefits outlined in its three active cooperation agreements. From snow storage HISTORIC to collaborations with the Boston Fire Department, Harvard is happy to provide resources that are timely and responsive. SNOWFALL SNOW ACRES PEAKS OF SNOW COVERAGE During the summer of 2014, a Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) storm water drain that runs through Rena Park collapsed, resulting in a sink hole. In the immediate aftermath of the failure, Harvard worked cooperatively with BWSC as the Commission undertook temporary measures to repair the collapsed pipe. As part of a long-term commitment that will enhance the neighborhood’s storm water drainage system, Harvard committed to construct a replacement storm drain. Harvard is currently engaged in a work schedule that will result in a new 72-inch diameter storm drain, which will be HIGHEST TRUCKS constructed in the fall of 2015, before the final phase of development of Rena Park commences in 2016.

CONTRIBUTIONS BEYOND CONTRIBUTIONS The Boston Fire Department conducted simulation trainings at the The Allston snow farm former Charlesview site. helped the City of Boston keep the city running during historic winter conditions.

As members of the Boston community, we all benefit from a highly trained and skilled public safety force. Last November, working cooperatively with partners in Boston’s public safety organizations, Harvard University provided the Boston Fire Department training space within the site of the former Charlesview Faced with a record-breaking winter in early 2015, Harvard worked with the City of Boston to accommodate housing complex on Western Avenue. In an effort to maximize use of the former housing complex, an extraordinarily large snow farm on Harvard-owned land in Allston. In addition to alleviating a burden Harvard was pleased to develop a plan to utilize the vacant apartment buildings as a temporary education on the City of Boston related to making streets and pedestrian ways passable, Harvard also worked to site for Boston firefighter training. The empty spaces were incorporated into Boston Fire Department implement protocols that allowed for the safe melting of snow. entry, search and rescue, and extrication simulations.
