Flashback Friday: An Embryonic Warren Towers, 1965 

Construction began in October 1965 at 700 Comm Ave, the future site of BU’s Warren Towers. Now, after more than half a century of wear and tear, the second-largest nonmilitary dormitory in the country is in the middle of a three-year renovation, the University’s biggest construction project to date. The planned end date: mid 2028, with ground level work continuing into 2029. Photo by Boston University Photography
