III. DETAILED PROJECT AREAS
The existing arcade will be maintained and renovated as a prominent central path through the building and will continue to connect with all the abutting streets.
The arcade will be transformed by a new and unique exterior landscape space in the center the building, which together with Forbes Plaza and Mount Auburn Plaza will reinstate Sert’s original concept for three linked exterior spaces. In addition, large green wall areas at both ends of the arcade with built-in and movable seating form two story vestibule spaces, which together with a central new common space create areas for pausing and gathering. Updated and improved commercial food venues further activate these three spaces adjacent to the arcade.
Direct access to a new roof garden on the second floor level of the Dunster pavilion will also be provided from the arcade.
