Boston University’s newest building, located near the banks of the Charles River, is the largest carbon-neutral building in Boston. In December, Mayor Michelle Wu helped cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the unique Center for Computing and Data Sciences.
The new building is not meant to be known only for its distinct appearance but for its impact on large-scale sustainability projects.
Excerpted from “Grand Opening for Unique-Looking Boston University Building” (CBS Boston, 12/08/22):
"Some people think the building looks like Jenga blocks, while others say it’s a stack of books. Designers said the building is meant to be a 300-foot conversation starter.”
The new center is said to be one of the “greenest” buildings in New England.
