BU Announces New Data Sciences Center
Boston University’s President Robert Brown announced that the University plans to build a new 17-story building on Commonwealth Avenue that houses the new Data Sciences Center. In an effort to become one of the nation’s leading interdisciplinary research institutions, the new structure will house the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, and the Hariri Institute for Computing under one roof. BU expects that this new building, in conjunction with its renowned faculty and staff, will be a key driver in preparing its students for an evolving workforce that is becoming increasingly reliant on computing and data sciences.
