<p>This is an update on Northeastern's New master plan. The university president just announced in a speech that school will construct two new residence halls that will house another 1250 students. This on top of a new Honors residence hall that will break ground next month which will house about 500 students. The three new residence halls will add another 1750 dorm beds in the next couple of years. These aren't your typical no frills cinder block style dorm rooms; rather they are more like luxury apartments. Most rooms will have spectacular views of the Boston skyline. As an example of what to expect, here some of the dorms that the school recently completed:</p>

<p>The president also announced that the school will spend another $350 million on new facilities on top of the $500 million that the school already spent in the last three years.</p>

<p>The campus already looks amazing but will be even more attractive when all the money is spent. I will try to post a link to the new master plan when it is officially released. As a reference point, here is a link to the old plan which is almost complete:</p>

<p>Since the Red Sox are playing the Yankees this evening in the deciding game of the ACLS championship, I thought that some people might be interested to discover that Northeastern's campus is the site of the first World Series. The game took place in 1903 bewteen Boston and Pittsburgh at what was then the Huntington Baseball Grounds. The university erected a statute of Cy Young at the site along with an engraved home plate. Here is some info with photos:</p>
