Harvard University announced it will temporarily stop the construction of a life sciences complex $ 1 billion in Allston, a few miles from the main campus in Cambridge. Crews are working on basement of the building, and once they reach the ground level, probably in March, work will stop. It is unknown when construction will continue.
In a letter to Harvard on Thursday, University President Drew Gilpin Faust said that the fragile state of the global economy -y including huge hits taken by staffing-made Harvard the break needed. She also said that Harvard would consider an option to lease space in the Allston complex and other buildings.
In a separate interview, Harvard Executive Vice President Katherine Lapp provided more details on the future of Allston, including the possibility that Harvard would change the design for Allston, although it did not say how. Both Faust and Lapp said that the state of the Allston campus would not interfere with the Harvard General plans to expand its life science programs.
