Boston's Mayor Thomas M. Menino and its zoning commission formally approved Boston College’s $1 billion expansion plan June 10, with an amendment requiring that an undergraduate residence hall be the first project undertaken, city and school officials said Thursday.The approved institutional master plan, which includes new residence halls for nearly 800 students and a baseball stadium, excludes the proposed 150-student dormitory on the former property of the Archdiocese of Boston in Brighton, said BC spokesman Jack Dunn.
Menino’s approval was the final step in a process that included four years of public meetings with city officials and community residents, and formal approvals by both the Boston Redevelopment Authority and the Boston Zoning Commission, the university said in a statement Thursday.
The master plan calls for the construction of a university center, recreation complex, fine arts district and playing fields for baseball, softball and intramurals, as well as new residence halls to enable BC to meet 100 percent of demand for undergraduate housing, the school said.
