davis_squareAssuming the GLX goes ahead, the Tufts building that will house a stop at the university will include a sky bridge to the campus. This article in the Fall 2015 issue of Tufts Magazine gives some background on the alumnus who's funding the building's construction. Thought it might be of interest to some in the Davis periphery, and hope it's not too far afield to warrant posting...

The view of the garage doors in the link above is approx where the building will be situate with a footbridge going over Boston Ave to the Tufts campus.

Date: 2016-01-04 10:07 pm (UTC)Ronhaha108 is correct about the location of the new building, and of the maintenance building's new location. craigindaville is correct that the image he linked to is a preliminary drawing. Below, I'm providing links to some images of the new iteration of the building, which features a less prominent bridge. These come from a closed Facebook group I'm a member of.
This album contains 3 photos, including the initial design image shown on craigindaville's link, as well as two views of an updated design (descriptions accompany each image): http://imgur.com/a/5NZ7V
This album contains 3 photos, with alternate views of the building design: http://imgur.com/a/96gwo
Let me know if the links don't work - I just joined Imgur and am familiarizing myself with the UI.
Cheers.
