For decades, the austere hospital has stood as a monument to poor urban planning, critics say,
a brick-covered eyesore looming over the cityâs largest park and an enduring affront to Frederick Law Olmstedâs Emerald Necklace.
Yet the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and surrounding buildings on a 13-acre campus carved out of a tree-shaded meadow in Franklin Park in the 1950s have long
provided essential medical care and social services that would be difficult to place elsewhere.
Shattuck Campus Redevelopment at Morton Street Proposal The proposed project is for the long term lease of a portion of the land comprising the Lemuel L. Shattuck Hospital campus, located at 170 Morton Street in the city of Boston.
The project contemplates leasing up to 13 acres of land on the campus for a term up to 99 years for the development of behavioral and public health services, supportive housing, and open space. The lessee(s), who will be selected through a competitive process, will secure all necessary permits, approvals and funding.
In early 2020, the Commonwealth completed a 12+ month vision planning process for the future use of the 13-acre Shattuck Campus in Jamaica Plain, resulting in the Vision Plan: Redevelopment of the Shattuck Campus at Morton Street.
