David A. Zewinski '76, associate dean for physical resources and planning in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and resident czar of most University building projects, says the Yard will be the fixed element of future University construction.
"There is not a building here that will not be here in a hundred years. Nor is there a building not here that will be here in 2100," Zewinski says. "I think
Harvard Yard will look pretty much as it does now in 2100."
But, Zewinski has a future Harvard Yard vision of his own.
" The new trees will be bigger," he notes.
Much as today, future construction will be dictated by the University's academic needs.
"The physical plant will really follow the adage of form follows function," Zewinski says. "Whatever the academic priorities are will shape the physical plant."
