NEBH proposes to construct a 72,000 square foot, three story Ambulatory Care Building and a 422 car, 4 and 1/2 level Parking Structure. The Ambulatory Care Building will house outpatient diagnostic and treatment facilities, physician offices, and related patient support services. NEBH has also proposed to the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department that the "Fourth Tier" portion of the adjacent McLaughlin Playground be landscaped along with a portion of the hospital owned meadow at the eastern edge of the NEBH campus. The hospital is working with the City of Boston's Parks and Recreation Department and the community to design these landscape improvements which the hospital proposes to undertake as a part of the Project in order to create a large, pastoral area for passive recreational purposes. As part of the Project, a new entranceway to the NEBH campus will be created from Parker Hill Avenue in order to establish improved access to NEBH facilities and the new Parking Structure. The existing primary entrance to the NEBH campus will be eliminated, landscaped, and returned to open space. We wanted to thank you and your staff for assisting us in completing the attached DPIR under Article 31 and look forward to completing the permitting requirements and to initiating the construction of this important project. Sincerely, Gary e/ Reed Vice President Support Services New England Baptist Hospital Ambulatory Care Building/Parldng Structure Project 145 Parker Hill Avenue Boston, Massachusetts DraftProjectImpact Report April 1994 Submitted to: Boston Redevelopment Authority 1 City Hall Square Boston, Massachusetts 02201 Submitted by: New England Baptist Hospital 125 Parker Hill Avenue Boston, Massachusetts 02120
