92 Seattle Street

The 92 Seattle Street project focuses on the renovation of an existing warehouse structure located on Harvard University’s Campus in Allston, in order to provide new institutional program space for use by Harvard programs, including the athletics department and studio/office space for the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies. As part of the overall effort, the existing single-story structure will be retained and will receive various upgrades, including new windows, two new accessible entries, improved exterior envelope and insulation, updated infrastructure systems, and a full interior fit-out to support new program uses. As a whole, the Project provides much needed program space for University tenants, but also seeks to convert an existing warehouse program use to a more suitable, community friendly use consistent with the goals of the University’s IMP, and the development of the Allston Campus. In addition, one of the design benefits of the Project is to remove the loading dock function from the east façade, an area that is adjacent to a future section of the Greenway.
