Harvard University “Common Spaces” Project

Cambridge, MA

Randall Gross completed work for Harvard University’s Planning Office on the Common Spaces project, which aims to improve the quality of life for the university community in Cambridge.  The focus of this project was on improvements to the physical environment and the mix of activities and uses that add interest and excitement to the campus and surrounding areas of Cambridge. Particular focus was given to reconfiguration and re-tenanting of university-owned buildings to open them more to the street and provide a more appealing retail environment. Mr. Gross examined the opportunities for various commercial uses and recommended strategies for enlivening the environment. He worked as part of a team led by Jeanne Giordano, Ltd.
