Staff offices move to Science Park
The old traffic light in front of 25 Science Park was replaced by city workers last month, nearby food shop owner Vinny Yik, 48, said.
“They were preparing for Yale to move in,” he said.
Indeed, Yale began moving employees into the 165,000 square feet it is leasing at 25 Science Park, a formerly empty lot, yesterday. The moving process will last until the first week of December, Associate Vice President for Administration Janet Lindner said Wednesday. About 650 staff from Yale’s information technology services, finance, budget, business services and other departments will...
one of the reporters who wrote this had reported one the construction - surprised the reporter didn't mention it in the article, but i guess the reporter knows about it
Undergrads inherently lack the perspective necessary to observe the (albeit slow) changes transforming New Haven. In a mere four years, how can one be expected to see it all? They can have NO understanding of just. how. horrible. that area was in the eighties and nineties (and early oughties as well).
I'll take "desolate" over "despairing" (or "blood soaked and crime ridden") any day.
Boola Boola!
Eventually Yale will occupy that whole area also. I'm surprised they haven't purchased or leased the fairly new Winchester plant as well for maintenance shops or labs. It is an unsafe area though. And if someones telling the security guards to carry a gun, how are they supposed to protect us? I'll run and tell the guard to keep up.
Giles: It is not an unsafe area. Look at the crime stats. Also, are you sure that Yale hasn't purchased or leased the Winchester plant (which dates from the 1970s and only recently closed), or are you just speculating? It had been up for sale after closing, about a year ago.
ohhhhh ,That's why there is so much more traffic at rush hours.I thought it was some kind of overflow or redirection from downtown and/or the closed parking lot across the street. now it's mainly newly transplanted workers who have no clue as to how to get out of there -quickly.
Just might have something to do with that new Alder ( the move) any locals who have not vacated are left with absolutely no representation.
Yes it might be a little safer, unless the pushed down and squeezed unfortunate ass poor gets a grumbling and ...
Well maybe more Alums and chums of alums can volunteer now at Hillhouse High school,a stones throw away for someone with a good arm ,and you'll see very very soon just how athletic the community is.

There's actually a lot of construction around there - the "desolate" factory looks that way because it is being torn down for a massive new parking garage and mixed use office facility, and there are other projects in the works, e.g., Forest City etc. I'm surprised you guys didn't research this area more, or interview the city's economic development staff, before you published the article. Some good news sources to check before writing a story about anything in the city include the New Haven Independent, Design New Haven, New Haven Register and New Haven Advocate.
