@siderea huh, I'm not sure. It's so hard to imagine academics ever moving their labs unless enticed with ridiculous amount of money, but I guess it's been a while since I paid attention.

AhHA!

"Relocating to Allston are the departments of applied computation, bioengineering, computer science, robotics, and virtually all the SEAS administration (much of it housed at 114 Western, adjacent to the SEC), including the office of Dean Francis (Frank) Doyle.

"The departments of electrical engineering and of materials science and mechanical engineering will maintain a dual presence in the new facility and their existing Cambridge locations; the departments of applied math, applied physics, and environmental science and engineering remain wholly in Cambridge."

Man, I assume applied math and physics are fine in the old buildings, but environmental engineering must have pissed somebody off.

@bipolaron So, uh, I guess Harvard is now competing very directly with MIT in engineering?

This is quite the thing:

@siderea It seems like about time, Harvard has a lot of funding to buy a lot of very nice equipment and buildings.

I'd feel great about seeing it except that somehow grants or patents are going to ruin things.

It's sad UMass Amherst is so far, they are really impressive too.
