The expansion will include the addition of several “nodes” across the University, including one at the new School of Engineering and Applied Sciences campus in Allston, Lue said.

When administrators announced in Feb. 2013 that large portions of SEAS would move to Allston, they said that construction would begin this year.

Andronica said the expansion plans made sense given the trajectory of the center.

“We can definitely use more space, especially if we're going to do more work and expanding to more departments and schools,” she said. Particularly, Andronica cited the difficulties associated with transporting equipment across the Charles River as another reason to open a node in Allston.

FAS aims to raise $150 million to fund “Leading in Learning,” one of its six key campaign priorities. The funds raised for “Leading in Learning” will be split among the Bok Center, HarvardX, and the SEAS Learning Incubator, according to promotional literature for the $2.5 billion campaign.

For the Bok Center specifically, the campaign aims to provide support for media literacy and visualization, speaking and student engagement, and the art and science of learning, according to the promotional literature.

FAS Dean Michael D. Smith declined to comment on the Bok Center’s expansion. The dean has refused to meet with The Crimson for regular on-the-record interviews since May 2013, several months before FAS made its capital campaign public.
