The Harvard University North Campus Master Plan provides a comprehensive physical framework that will serve as a general guide to future development. The plan identifies the physical development needed to meet the future growth needs projected for the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities Departments. The plan calls for the creation of a new academic district, a center for multi-disciplinary research in the life sciences, social sciences, and the humanities.

PRINCIPLES | PLANNING THEMES
