Zewinski expects the Physical Sciences building to be completed by the end of calendar year 2004.
But Harvard still needs to present its plans to the city of Cambridge's Board of Zoning and Appeals and the city's Planning Board. If area residents raise objections to the plan, the building could be delayed.
The Knafel Center for Government and International Studies
FAS' most highly publicized recent construction project is the Knafel Center for Government and International Studies.
Mired for three years in community meetings and protest, the Cambridge Mid-Cambridge Neighborhood Conservation District Commission (MCNCDC) at last gave the building the green light to proceed in September.
Several other city planning boards and the Cambridge City Council must still review and approve the plans.
Only a drastic redesign of the building's original plans by architect Harry N. Cobb resulted in a building that community members felt would not disrupt the neighborhood.
"We spent an exhausting 35 hours before [the MCNCDC]. The architect completely redesigned the project midway. So far, the community's involvement has yielded a better project, much more distinguishing from the former design," Zewinsky says.
