Concept Plan
Inspired by a Place weaving together old + new
To complement Davis Square’s vibrant public realm the 7th Spoke creates two new vibrant fronts for Civic Space along Elm Street and connects the block to Herbert St.
The Adaptive Reuse of the 58 Day Street Building and the 260 Elm “Connector” building will become the Phase 1 scope. Phase 2 scope will include the reimagined Plaza and new 4-story building. The 274- 280 Elm Street building has the potential to be redeveloped.
Site Access
• The site’s close proximity to Davis Sq Station on the Red Line provides access to the public transit system
• The Somerville Community Path (SCP) winds through Davis Square, with future connections to downtown
• The reactivated central pedestrian plaza becomes the “front door” and primary access point for the 7th Spoke
