Anyway, I've made the changes to the image :)
Woulda been built
These shots are from 2003-2004 and the Photonics building was opened in 1997. That building site is the LSEB, as mentioned by GradStudent, and is on the old location of the Nickelodeon theater on Cummington St that was amid the biology and engineering research buildings.
I didnt realize MS had
