The Boston University Center for Computing & Data Sciences provides an exceptional workspace in a building that demands attention. Across 19 floors, the $305 million center defies convention, forming an iconic landmark in the Central Campus. The cutting-edge design incorporates remarkable architecture, state-of-the-art resources, an environmentally friendly approach, and spacious, adaptable learning spaces.

The exterior profile captivates attention with cantilevers that soar above the campus and the Charles River, resembling a towering pile of books – as described by the leadership of Boston University.
