THE ATRIUM AND YARD ESTABLISHED AND RECOGNIZED WITH A GIFT OF $75 MILLION

THE EXPANSIVE ATRIUM and Yard are two signature spaces in Allston. The Atrium, encompassing 55,000 square feet of space throughout all eight floors, is a vertical reimagining of Harvard Yard—a campus crossroads where people not only travel but also connect. The Atrium links the upper floors of research to the lower-level classrooms and student spaces; interior staircases are designed to encourage interaction through meeting and social spaces on all floors. The Atrium serves as the Complex’s central hub, featuring spaces for large-scale events, a 6,000-square- foot collaborative study and library space, and the building’s largest dining area.

The Atrium and Yard are connected by the building’s open design, allowing the Yard to be clearly visible from inside the Complex, and by creating a fluid and transparent path between the spaces. The Yard is 70,000 square feet— about the size of Tercentenary Theatre—with spaces for outdoor dining options and seating, as well as staging areas for events, lectures, and academic activities.

The landscape design reflects Harvard’s sustainability efforts, with plans that incorporate storm-water management, native plantings, and landscaping appropriate for warm summers and cold winters. Harvard’s iconic spaces—Harvard Yard, Radcliffe Yard—have become beloved at the University. The Atrium and Yard will join these spaces, serving as a landmark in Allston. THE ALLSTON GREENWAY NAMED FOR A GIFT OF $25 MILLION

BEGINNING AT RAY MELLONE PARK at the Honan-Allston Branch Library and extending east toward the Charles River, the Greenway forms the backbone of Harvard’s long-term vision for Allston, emphasizing sustainable development, civic engagement, and urban recreation and relaxation. As the spine of Harvard’s expanding campus in Allston, the 10-acre Greenway provides a continuous park- like setting that joins residential neighborhoods and public parks with University spaces and commercial development.

The Greenway will also border the new Enterprise Research Campus— adjacent to the Science and Engineering Complex, Harvard Business School, and the Harvard Innovation Lab—which will connect students, faculty, and alumni with industry partners. The Allston Greenway will include public art, plazas for social gatherings, and seating throughout. It could also be home to outdoor festivals and gatherings for the greater Harvard-Allston community.

Sustainability is at the core of Harvard’s expansion into Allston and its plans for the Greenway. In order to ensure that all planning takes into account long-term effects, the University has included both environmental and social goals in its vision. From multi-use paths to enhancements to the area’s natural environment, the Greenway is a living laboratory for sustainable development and urban growth at Harvard. Planting indigenous New England trees, shrubs, and flowers will enliven the space while providing the University with an extended, real-world teaching environment for urban design, engineering, and biology, among other fields.

More than just a scenic expanse, the Greenway is also an essential artery for electrical and communications systems, utility infrastructure, and expanded transportation networks. It will be home to thousands of linear feet of new bike lanes and pedestrian paths, which will increase the walkability of the entire neighborhood. Early designs also include provisions for storm water management, rainfall harvesting, and tree cover for natural cooling.

The Greenway will be built in phases as the campus expands with the construction of Harvard buildings and private development in the Enterprise Research Campus. Green spaces—Boston Common and the Public Garden, Harvard Yard, the Rose Kennedy Greenway—are all essential to the social and cultural fabric of Boston and of Harvard. Like these other important spaces, the Allston Greenway will join the tradition of Boston’s Emerald Necklace in adding new civic space, strengthening physical beauty, and encouraging a sense of shared community.
