Although the architects hope to build an entire building below Farrand's garden, under the section of the lawns known as the North Vista, they say that their project will only force the removal of four mature trees from the site, two of them not even planted by Farrand.
But this optimism is not shared by some of the architects who have reviewed the plan.
The scale and history of the project means that, before building, Harvard will need approval from the Historic Preservation Review Board, and the Board of Zoning and Adjustment as well as some measure of neighborhood approval.
Votes against Harvard by any of these boards would most likely force a lengthy appeals process and some change of building plans.
According to Keenan, most of the people who actually sit down with the plans believe that Harvard is acting conscientiously. But opposition will always remain.
