Carol Wienhaus, one of three ACID members who specializes in dealing with the Law School, asked HLS officials to consider their development plans in the context of the rest of the neighborhood.

“Student experience is not just what happens in the classroom,” Weinhaus said. “It’s what happens when they empty out and they want something to eat at night.”

Agassiz residents expressed fears that new HLS buildings along Mass. Ave would result in what Weinhaus called “dead space”—areas next to buildings that either contribute nothing to neighborhood life or attract teenagers and criminals.

Tsoi, the consultant, spent almost an hour listening to neighborhood residents’ preferences and pitching ideas of his own.

The sites which administrators said they’re interested in developing include North Hall, a six-story dormitory with a parking lot, and the Everett Street Garage, a three-story concrete parking building.

The third parcel is a set of four storefronts—including Crimson Cleaners and Three Aces Pizza—on the corner of Mass. Avenue and Everett Street.

The final site includes two Victorian structures—the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute and Baker House, HLS’s legal aid office—and Wyeth Hall, a six-story red-brick dormitory.

Neighbors enthusiastically supported Tsoi’s suggestion that the Everett Street Garage be demolished and another parking facility be built underground to replace it.

“We begged you 10 years ago to sink it,” Weinhaus said regarding the garage, adding that the site’s location near subway tunnels had been HLS’s stated reason not to dig an underground garage in the past.

The approximately 16 residents’ other requests included improved lighting on streets, increased parking space, precautions against traffic jams during construction and more parks and other “public spaces.”
