It is claimed to be one of the most sustainable buildings in Massachusetts and the most energy-efficient in the university.

Designed by Canadian architecture firm KPMB, the new facility comprises an all-glass interior, which creates transparency and allows light into the building.

The company stated that the structure design includes a series of floorplates that are shifted and cantilevered around the central core of the building.

Suffolk has installed a geothermal bore system to make the new Centre for Computing & Data Sciences 100% fossil fuel free.

“This iconic building is a striking addition to the Boston skyline and a tribute to the leadership and prestige of Boston University, the world-class stature of the City of Boston, the importance of sustainable design and construction, and the future of research and education.”
