BRA board backs BU Law expansion

The Boston Redevelopment Authority has approved Boston University's $172 million expansion of its law school tower on its Commonwealth Avenue campus.

Construction of an addition to the BU Law building named for media exec Sumner Redstone, who donated $18 million to the project, will start this winter and be finished in the fall of 2015.

As part of the project, BU Law's 18-story tower, built in 1964, will be overhauled, with classrooms brought down to the lower floors, to make them more accessible to students, and offices moved higher up.

"It's this building's turn to be fully renovated," said Gary Nicksa, senior vice president for BU operations. "The original window systems ... the heating and cooling, all of it unfortunately has reached the end of its life."

Other projects approved at last night's BRA board meeting:

• the hotel portion of New Balance's $500 million New Brighton Landing project.

• the North Bennet Street School's $16 million renovation and combination of two former city-owned buildings on North Street in the North End.

• the Hamilton Co.'s 30-unit apartment building at 1085 Boylston St., near Massachusetts Avenue.

• a renovation by the Cronin Group of the Gate of Heaven parish hall in South Boston into a four-story apartment building with 24 units.
