But a statement from Faust suggests that she is on board with the plans.

“We look forward to seeking development partners for housing and for an enterprise research campus, consulting with the deans and the new provost on next steps in science, and working with the broader community on other next steps,” Faust said in a press release.

The report did not specify when the University might resume or complete the construction of these projects. But Christine M. Heenan, vice president for government, community, and public affairs, did suggest that  “if Harvard pursues some or all of these recommendations, we project that there will be major construction projects underway in Allston from the present until at least 2017.”

The Harvard Business School is in the midst of remodeling another Harvard property on Western Ave. that will open this fall as a business innovation center. The Business School, whose campus is located in Allston, is also in the midst of planning the construction of  Tata Hall, which will house facilities for the School’s Executive Education program.

The University halted construction in Allston in Dec. 2009 due to fallout from the previous year’s financial crisis. After Faust announced that Harvard would pause construction, she tasked the Work Team with developing proposals for Harvard’s construction in the neighborhood based upon various resources, including feedback from Allston residents.

Allston residents have been highly critical of the process that produced Wednesday’s recommendations and have bemoaned their lack of input regarding the University’s long-term planning for their large real estate holdings in the community.

The Work Team’s recommendations address some concerns raised by residents, but members of the Allston community have said in recent weeks that the types of businesses that Harvard has brought to the neighborhood do not provide the type of goods and services that used to anchor Western Ave.
