Peabody Terrace, on the north bank of the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a Harvard University housing complex primarily serving graduate students, particularly married students and their families. Designed in the brutalist style〔https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=sPGdBxzaWj0C&pg=PA356&dq=brutalist+%22Peabody+Terrace%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=kb2iVI3MFI38aMPpgaAL&ved=0CCAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=brutalist%20%22Peabody%20Terrace%22&f=false〕 and constructed in 1964, its three-story perimeter grows to five and seven stories within, with three interior 22-story towers. It has been described as "beloved by architects and disliked by almost everyone else." ==Description== Peabody Terrace was completed in 1965 at a cost of $8.5million. On 5.9 acres (2.4ha), the 650,000-square foot (60,000m) complex consists of some 500 apartments (a mixture of "efficiencies" and one-, two-, and three-bedroom unitsall with 7-foot 6-inch, or 2.3m, ceilings) plus playgrounds, nurseries, roof terraces, laundromats/laundry rooms, a drugstore, meetings/seminar rooms, and a parking garage. In order to maximize usable floor space and speed vertical transportation, the towers' elevators stop on every third floor only. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peabody Terrace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
