  • The total figure includes an expected $5 million loan from the University, he added.
  • Freshberg said Burr Hall, which was built in the late 1950s, was "obsolete the minute the doors opened" and "more of a headache than an advantage" to the University.
  • "Nobody's going to miss it," he added.
  • Doeringer said the "Burr family seems to be quite sympathetic to what we are trying to do."
  • Doeringer said administration want "an architect who is sensitive to the very difficult urban design problem" of the particular location—which is surrounded by traditional brick and modern buildings—but one who is also concerned with the new "building's functional requirements."
  • Plans to add on a wing to the Fogg last year included the promise of 50 per cent more space for the 160,000-volume Fine Arts library.

  • Douglas W. Bryant, director of the University Library, said yesterday, "financial constrictions have simply forced the elimination" of planned library expansions.

  • Officials said offices for professors connected with Oriental Islamic and classical arts will be located in the new building, but the Fogg's Western European art collection and the museum directors' offices will remain in the old building.
  • Robert Healy, assistant city manager, said yesterday that if one of the theme houses were built before 1920, the Cambridge Historical Commission must approve their demolition.
  • Officials who could not say when the houses were built said there were no people living in the houses, and that commercial clients in one have leases which will expire before construction is scheduled to begin.
  • The other house was being used to house temporary office space for workers in 1237 Cambridge St., which has recently undergone renovation, they added.
  • Spokesmen from the planning office were unavailable for comment.
