Northeastern University’s newest version of Institutional Master Plan is approved
New England Council member Northeastern University’s Institutional Master Plan was approved by the Boston Planning and Development Agency, as were seven new housing developments. The approval of Northeastern’s plan is not a surprise, as construction preparations have already begun on the large redevelopment aspect of the plan, Matthews Arena.
Matthews Arena, home to Northeastern’s hockey and basketball teams, opened in 1910 and was the original home of both the Bruins and the Celtics. The new development will retain similar capacity to the current arena, but will add a student.
“The approval of the new Institutional Master Plan marks a significant milestone in the ongoing development of Northeastern University’s Boston campus to support our academic mission,” said Northeastern VP & Chief of Planning, Real Estate and Facilities Kathy Spiegelman. “We look forward to working closely with the City and our community partners as we bring this vision to life, ensuring that our physical campus continues to meet the evolving needs of our students, faculty, staff, and the broader Boston community.”
The New England Council congratulates Northeastern University on the approval of the new Institutional Master Plan.
