Work Set to Begin on New Residence Hall

Tufts Now – A new residence hall at 401–403 Boston Avenue won approval from the Medford Community Development Board on February 5. The building, which will be located across from the Medford/Tufts MBTA Green Line station, will allow students easy access to public transportation and offer a new apartment-style housing option to more than 660 juniors and seniors. The project marks the first time a residence hall for Tufts students will be built through a public-private partnership, an approach in which the university is neither the owner, developer, nor operator of the building.
