The property is located near to the Questrom School of Business at 595 Commonwealth Avenue and urgently needed for faculty office and video recording for the University’s new online Masters in Business Administration (Online MBA) program starting September 2020. Due to COVID-19, the University has had to de-densify its classrooms and faculty offices. This has required the conversion of over 100 spaces on campus to temporary classroom use and the University does not have appropriate space available for the Online MBA program.

  • Open PDF File, 1.11 MB, for Allston Task Force Meeting Notes 10/10/19
    MEMORANDUM Taskforce Meeting Meeting Notes of October 10, 2019 To: Mike O’Dowd Date: November 22, 2019 MassDOT Project Manager From: Nathaniel Cabral-Curtis HSH Project No.: 2013061.14 Howard Stein Hudson Subject: MassDOT Allston I-90 Taskforce Meeting Meeting Notes of October 10, 2019 Overview On October 10, 2019, members of the Allston Multimodal Project team and associated MassDOT staff held a Task Force meeting for the project. The Task Force is composed of local residents, business owners, transportation, and open space advocates, elected officials representing communities impacted by the project, as well as representatives of local and state agencies. The purpose of the group is, through the application of its members’ in-depth knowledge, to assist and advise the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) in refining the preferred alternative selected by the Secretary of Transportation for documentation in a state Final Environmental Impact Report and in two federal documents: a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). Once the process associated with these environmental documents is completed, the project will be bid using a 25% design/build package that MassDOT will make available to interested general contractors. At this Task Force meeting, two presentations were given. The first presentation was made by Elizabeth Parent of TetraTech. Her presentation provided an overview of the project’s stormwater management goals and constraints. Stormwater management for this project must comply with Massachusetts’ stormwater management standards and the total maximum daily load for the Charles River, as well as improve existing conditions. Discussion regarding stormwater management was relatively brief and focused chiefly on how stormwater would be removed from the proposed, temporary Soldiers’ Field Road (SFR) trestle in the Charles River.
