The AHC is a proposed complex to be occupied by three Roxbury area hospitals, the Peter Bent Brigham, the Robert Breck Brigham, and the Boston Hospital for Women. Harvard is the present owner of the proposed Center site.
Questioned about Center plans yesterday, Wittrup said, "There is no question in my mind that disclosing the plans would complicate matters immensely, perhaps even to the point of delaying the construction of the Center."
"The plans really aren't anywhere near completion-there are many, many things that have to be done before we can let the public know about all this," Wittrup said. "Most of the drawings are in felt-pen form-really nowhere near finalization."
The AHC has presented preliminary architectural drawings to the Boston Redevelopment Authority. The drawings, obtained through another source yesterday, show an expansion across and a closing off of Francis Street. The community has opposed such expansion for the past several years.
"We've been in this boat before," Wittrup said. "Two years ago, we proposed a plan for a similar type of hospital on the Convent site, and the information was released too soon and the hospital was never bulit because of it."
