On March 29, 2013, the BRA issued a Scoping Determination outlining the issues to be
addressed in this IMP. This IMP is designed to respond to the Scoping Determination and
provide the appropriate information on the nine projects within the Ten-Year Plan that will
allow the BRA Board and the Boston Zoning Commission to approve the IMP.
This November 2013 final IMP is a revised version of the IMP submitted by Harvard in July
2013. Revisions involve additional and changed provisions agreed upon by the BRA and
Harvard in advance of the October 17, 2013 BRA Board hearing. Key changes are in sections
1.2 (Boston Zoning Requirements and Public Process), 1.4 (IMP Boundary), 5.2 (Barry’s
Corner District), 5.3 (Science and Enterprise District), 6.1 (Transportation), 6.7 (Construction
Phasing and Management), and 6.9 (Housing). If, and to the extent that, other provisions in
this IMP conflict with any of the aforementioned sections, said sections shall govern.
As shown in Figure 4, this document addresses several geographic scales. The document
takes into consideration the development of Allston through time, from historic conditions,
to current conditions, through the ten-year planning horizon, and beyond. Harvard’s
Plan differs from that of many other campuses because most of its projects are not infill.
Redevelopment of land over time requires forward thinking about street and block plans,
open space, circulation networks, and utilities.
The Long-Term Vision guides near-term thinking. It provides a framework and guidelines
for campus development beyond the next ten years. Each project in the Ten-Year Plan will
contribute to the completeness of this vision. The depiction in the Long-Term Vision is
provided for information purposes only and is largely beyond the time frame and geography
of the Ten-Year Plan for which the University is seeking approval.
Chapter 1.0, Introduction concludes with a summary of Harvard’s history.
Chapter 2.0, Existing Conditions presents a profile of Harvard today, a campus overview, and
a discussion of existing land and buildings at area-wide, neighborhood, and campus scales.
Information on existing transportation and circulation systems is provided, as is discussion
of Harvard’s property in Allston that is located beyond the IMP boundary. Stewardship
principles are provided for other Harvard real estate outside of the IMP area.
Chapter 3.0, Long-Term Vision considers the broader context and how the campus relates to
North Allston, Cambridge and the Charles River. Plan content includes a time frame beyond
that of the IMP and geography beyond the formal IMP area. The chapter sets forth a LongTerm
Vision inclusive of:
• Planning Principles
• Long-Term Frameworks
• Design Guidelines (Public Realm and Built Form)
The Long-Term Vision is presented for context and not for regulatory approval. The
projects in the Ten-Year Plan are designed not to preclude, but to be consistent with, the
Long-Term Vision.
Chapter 4.0, Ten-Year Plan presents the core material of this regulatory submission. It
describes a range of projects involving renovation, re-use, building replacement, and new
construction. The projects described in this chapter are submitted for IMP approval within
the framework of the Ten-Year Plan
Chapter 5.0, District Plans & Project Descriptions focuses on district-specific design
objectives and project site planning principles. District content includes annotated plans,
3D models, and project descriptions. Footprints and models are illustrative in nature
because many projects are in early stages of planning. Districts include: Barry’s Corner,
Science and Enterprise, Academic and Athletics.
Chapter 6.0, Technical Reports provides an analysis of the effects of the Ten-Year Plan,
including an evaluation of the transportation impacts, other environmental impacts
(such as sustainability, stormwater, climate adaptation, and construction), planning for
comprehensive support services, and economic and housing impacts. The chapter also
identifies the Plan’s many environmental benefits.
Chapter 7.0, Community Benefits provides background on the existing community benefits
programs that Harvard supports and presents a status report on BRA, Task Force, and City
discussions that will lead to a new community benefits program.
Appendices are provided under a separate cover. Included is the Scoping Determination and
response to comment letters, as well as the full Transportation Study
