Center for Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University

Location: Boston, Massachusetts 
Architecture Practices:  KPMB Architects 


The Center for Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University is a new landmark for the campus that maximizes opportunities for collaboration and puts sustainability at the forefront. Imagined as a vertical campus, cantilevered volumes create ascending academic neighbourhoods, each with their own vibrant collaboration spaces and outdoor terrace. The podium hovers over the street, serving as an urban porch for arrival and gathering. A central atrium unites faculty and students, and a staircase connects research spaces, classrooms, and public areas to nurture the cross-pollination of ideas and spark serendipitous encounters. 


Jury Comments

“We commend the design team’s resolution of the complex façade and envelope details. The shifting, cantilevered volumes of this post-secondary building create terraces and outdoor spaces. The result is a bold and playful form on Boston’s Charles River. The form works within the local context and compact site, while meeting ambitious sustainability targets.”
