In 2018, Northeastern planned a 55,000-sq-ft expansion on a Massachusetts peninsula. 8 years later, the town won the right to take 12 acres by eminent domain to keep them open. In 2026, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court sided with the town, upholding its use of eminent domain. The decision marks a rare victory for a small municipality against a major university in a dispute over the future of its shoreline. In 2018, Northeastern University announced plans for a major marine science expansion on Nahant, a small, densely built peninsula northeast of Boston. The proposal included up to 55,000 square feet of new research and teaching space on a 12-acre coastal parcel that many residents viewed as one of the last large open spaces in town.
