Boston College (the “University”) is proposing to renovate 129 Lake Street, also known as Bishop Peterson Hall, for use as administrative office space (the “Project”). 129 Lake Street is part of the Boston College Brighton Campus, purchased from the Archdiocese of Boston in 2007. The Brighton Campus is adjacent to several residential neighborhoods, including the Lake Street, Greycliff Road and Glenmont Road neighborhoods. The building, which is currently vacant, formerly provided offices and housing for priests and seminarians at St. John’s Seminary. (See Figure 1-1, Locus Plan.) Upon completion of the renovations, the University will relocate administrative staff to 129 Lake Street, primarily employees currently located at St. Thomas More Hall. This renovation project is a separate, stand-alone project, although it is a component of other building renovations on the Brighton Campus as part of the approved Institutional Master Plan. The project will provide upgraded support facilities for the University, but will not increase student enrollment. The building was constructed in 1957 and is in structurally sound condition. It consists of five above-ground floors and a partial basement level. The building height is approximately 55 feet, plus rooftop mechanical equipment. The building is approximately 76,200 gross square feet as defined in the City of Boston Zoning Code, and is separate from, but is connected to, St. John’s Seminary at 127 Lake Street. (See Figure 1-2, Oblique View of Project Site). The building mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety and HVAC systems are not up to current standards and the building does not fully meet existing accessibility code. Upon completion, 129 Lake Street will provide offices for approximately 130 administrative staff, conference rooms, and kitchen and dining facilities to support the Brighton Campus. Transportation access for building visitors and staff will be managed in accordance with the University’s overall parking and transportation plan. This plan provides for a Campus Shuttle serving the Brighton Campus, with stops adjacent to 129 Lake Street. It also promotes the use of public transportation and managed parking to reduce parking demand and the number of spaces needed. No increase in parking is proposed as part of this project
