SIZE
300,000 sqft - 500,000 sqft
Realized as a vertical campus, the Center for Computing & Data Sciences is an exemplary project and a defining landmark for the university. It transforms the Boston skyline, meets laudable sustainability goals, and encourages collaboration amongst students, faculty, and staff.
The vertical design brings together the university’s mathematics, statistics, and computer science departments, building community amongst the 3,000 students, faculty, and staff working in those areas. The design gives each department its own identity while facilitating interaction with a central atrium, multiple classrooms and general-purpose spaces, a cafe, and an event space. Prioritizing human-centered design, the building maximizes opportunities for collaboration, interconnectivity, and innovation.
With the well-being of its occupants in mind, green roofs and terraces are placed throughout the Center to connect students, faculty, and staff to the natural environment, and offer expansive views of the Charles River, the city of Boston, and the surrounding campus. These open spaces also serve as general-purpose areas that allow for increased connection and collaboration amongst the various departments that now call the Center home.
Striving to be energy efficient, the building uses onsite renewable energy through its geothermal system for heating and cooling. Energy consumption is minimized throughout the Center by utilizing a high-performance envelope with external sun shading devices and enhanced heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
