Such weird priorities. Knocking down the COM building (when BU has one of the top 3 COM schools in the country) and replacing with a research facility, with no mention of where COM classes will go.

Warren was in need of a major overhaul 16 years ago so I can only imagine how shitty it is at this point. And I'm all for them building additional dorms to bring more students on campus. But the proliferation of luxury dorms that essentially segregate students with and without money is really ugly. And BU would have an easier time housing all students on campus (and provide a better education overall) if they just reduced the undergrad student head count from the completely insane 18k. What a mess.

I believe the IMP that the article refers to references a potential new COM building next to the gas station at armory.

There’s also a renovation listed for Warren.

In terms of IMPs, if only a potential new building is laid out in this plan it's unlikely to happen in the next 10 years. There will almost certainly be a long period of displacement for the school.

The Warren renovation is really the only sensible thing.
