Suffolk University shifts core of campus downtown

Moving from Beacon Hill with plan for $62m complex

Suffolk University, long a controversial neighbor on Beacon Hill, will shift its campus closer to Boston’s downtown and build a $62 million classroom complex that will modernize its academic programs and facilities, university officials said Tuesday.

The real estate moves will result in the sale of two of Suffolk’s buildings on Beacon Hill and remove the noisy student traffic that has often put the university at odds with its residential neighbors. Two other classroom buildings in the neighborhood will be converted into administrative offices.

Comments

You have a typo about half way through the article when talking about the dining hall and classrooms in new building - you say it will have 1,300 classrooms. Do you mean 13, or 130? Or will the capacity of the dining hall be 130, or 1300?

Also, it would be instructive to provide a map showing where Suffolk's buildings are and where they plan to expand.
