As a BU alum, you’re a lifelong member of the University community, and you deserve the best possible home on campus. What better home than the beloved
BU Castle, the iconic Tudor Revival mansion on Bay State Road? With its grand opening in the fall of 2018, now’s the time to take a look around your new home, and to explore a bit of its storied history.

This century-old gem has been restored to its original elegance—and updated to be fully handicapped accessible—to house the Dahod Family Alumni Center.
This respite for all BU alumni is truly yours: a place to meet with friends, reconnect with your alma mater, relax in the Alumni Lounge, and enjoy a stylish
meal in the classically redesigned BU Club, featuring the inventive cuisine of Executive Chef Amin Belkadi.

Book a table at the BU Club

On the Castle’s garden level, you can stop by for a casual bite and beer at the newly renovated Fuller’s BU Pub, BU’s own private club. With an enclosed year-round patio and over 15 beers on tap Fuller’s is the place to visit if you’re over 21. Just don’t forget your alumni card.

And yes, we still have the Knight’s Quest!
