Museum of Science Goes Green, May Impact Regatta Views

museum-of-scienceBoston’s Museum of Science said Wednesday it is building a wind-turbine laboratory on its roof, the first such lab in the nation to be constructed on a museum rooftop.

The lab, a part of the museum’s green initiative, will demonstrate small wind turbines that could be erected on small businesses and homes. When completed, five turbines — ranging between 40 feet and seven feet in height — will rest on the museum’s roof. Two of the turbines are operational on the Cambridge side of the building, with the other three to be installed on the Boston side this summer.

This new addition to the Museum of Science might block the water views from some of the condos at the Regatta Riverview Residences, especially the condos on the 9-12 floors and facing the Back Bay and the Charles river. With that said, we don’t know if this project is permanent and how it will look like.
