REDEVELOPMENT, EXPANSION OF BOSTON COLLEGES

6/15/1969 An operator's view from the cab of a 100-foot tower crane dramatizes new construction at world headquarters of the Christian Science Church. Some 10,000 members are attending the denomination's annual meeting held in Boston, MA. Completion of the new Church Center by 1971 will provide a new administration building, new Sunday School building, expanded radio-television facilities, an underground garage, and a public exhibition hall. Church plans also include a plaza and reflecting pool. Extensive new building by private developers at the perimeter of the 15-acre Center will continue major renewal in Boston's Back Bay area.

The first college in the country was established near Boston and since then the area has been a hub for higher education.

These higher education establishments build internationally renowned medical centers, research labs, cultural nodes, and innovation incubators. Here are some of the most recent college projects.

Latest: The city of Boston approved Harvard University’s plan to relocate its campus services facilities to Allston.
