Northeastern University
Science and Engineering Precinct
Situated on an urban brownfield site, the EXP building, along with its award-winning counterparts—ISEC and the Pedestrian Crossing (PedX)—comprise a new academic precinct encompassing over 600,000 square feet of science and engineering space for Northeastern University. Flow and Movement define the form language of the precinct, serving as a dynamic link connecting two Boston neighborhoods, Roxbury and the Fenway, expanding the campus and acting as a catalyst for urban revitalization in the long-neglected Roxbury area.

PedX
The Northeastern University Pedestrian Crossing (PedX) spans across five MBTA / Amtrak rail lines to connect the main campus with the expanding Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex to the south of the tracks. Serving more than just the University community, the bridge provides a public connection between the Fenway and Roxbury neighborhoods and links the adjacent MBTA platform, bus station, pedestrian routes and parking structures. It is a much needed, safe, fully accessible pedestrian route at a key transportation node in Boston.
