Scalise and Graham were out of town and could not be reached for comment.

The report suggested holding afternoon classes in and moving some Faculty of Arts and Sciences departments and student services to Allston, as well as the creation of a student center there.

In addition to stem cells, engineering and origins of life, the science report suggests that innovative computing, quantum science and technology, systems neuroscience and behavior, systems biology, chemical biology, global health, microbial science, environment, clinical research and collaborative science be among the “areas of inquiry” the Allston science hub will focus on.

Many of those recommendations are drawn from a report of science options issued earlier this year by Edward E. Harlow, chair of the Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology Department at Harvard Medical School.

Dean of the Physical Sciences and Division of Engineering and Applied Science Venkatesh “Venky” Narayanamurti wrote in an e-mail that he expected the University’s science priorities for the new campus to “evolve.”

“I am fairly certain new priorities will emerge over time,” he wrote. “As faculty get increasingly engaged, I would like to see new creative ideas proposed.”

Hyman, who chaired the science group, said new science proposals would be solicited in the fall. Faculty are eager to begin building the new centers, he said, although no timeframe has yet emerged for science construction.

“My scientists want to start digging tomorrow,” Hyman said.

Although it was initially difficult to get faculty focused on Allston planning, Hyman said he was impressed by scientists’ participation in the latest phase.

“Until something seems real, it is very hard to engage people,” he said.

He added that Allston would allow planners to “really think about new kinds of labs” that would allow professors to break out of the current mold of lab classes.

“They’re very cookbook,” Hyman said. “It’s not the way science happens.”

The professional schools committee endorsed the October plan of moving the public health and education schools to Allston. It also suggests fostering interschool collaboration, potentially through programs aimed at promoting leadership, and constructing a shared conference center that could host executive education programs and University-wide events.

The Allston life group suggests, in addition to the improvement of existing shuttle services and bridges, considering building a new bridge, installing a tram, creating a rail line from Allston to the Longwood medical campus in Boston or enhancing the bridge on John F. Kennedy Street to become a “Ponte Vecchio on the Charles.”

The Ponte Vecchio is a famous shop-lined bridge in Florence.
