Harvard plans vast expansion
- Share via
Harvard University unveiled plans for a multibillion-dollar campus expansion that aims to turn America’s oldest university into a hub for stem cell research and other life sciences.
The plan will give a new look to Harvard’s campus over the next 50 years in the most ambitious expansion in the school’s 371-year history.
It calls for a science complex, museum space, new student housing, parks and a public square on more than 250 acres, adding a campus in Boston’s Allston district across the Charles River from its main Cambridge campus. Harvard, which has an endowment of nearly $30 billion, did not say how much the plan would cost.
