Delivery of Harvard’s Engineering Complex Pushed Back to 2021
With construction halted by COVID-19, Harvard University’s new Science and Engineering Complex (SEC) in Allston will move its planned fall opening to spring 2021, the university announced recently.
“Due to the temporary suspension of construction work by the city of Boston, and our collective response to the coronavirus public health emergency, the SEC will not be ready in time for a summertime move-in and fall opening as previously planned,” said Dean Frank Doyle of the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. “The good news is that, following a nearly five-year construction process, once construction fully resumes the SEC will be just weeks away from being ready for occupancy.”
Prior to last month’s work stoppage ordered by Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, the building was almost finished. Original plans called for work to be completed in May, and for a rolling move-in to begin in June.
