“我们有机会在一个新兴的重要领域发挥领导作用，这将从根本上影响大学的所有科目。我们希望这座建筑能像每一个人表明，这是一个了不起的场所，是城市标志性的地标建筑。” ——Robert A Brown，波士顿大学主席

“We have an opportunity to lead in an emerging, important field that will impact essentially all the disciplines in the University. We wanted architecture that would signal to everyone that this is a remarkable place, and an iconic landmark for the city. This building is a physical statement about our commitment to the field. Just as the new building will be the physical center of our efforts in the data sciences, I also hope that the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences will be the connecting tissue for faculty, staff, and students working in these exciting areas.” —Robert A Brown, President of Boston University

该中心无论从建筑还是实现气候行动计划目标的策略来看，均呈现了最前沿的设计理念。在提高能源效率的前提下，我们将燃烧化石燃料转变为利用地球热容量作为加热和冷却电池使用。为打造无碳未来，该建筑向我们自己和其他人提供了一个有力典范。它象征着气候的重要意义。 ——Dennis Carlberg，波士顿可持续化团队VP

“The Center exemplifies the cutting edge of design from its architecture to the strategies used to meet the goals of our Climate Action Plan. The drive for energy efficiency enabled the shift from burning fossil fuels to using the thermal capacity of the earth as a battery for heating and cooling. This building provides a powerful example for ourselves and others for how to build for a carbon free future. It is a symbol of climate leadership.” —Dennis Carlberg, Associate VP for Sustainability at Boston University

The exterior is characterized by a 19-storey cantilever volumed silhouette that rises 305 feet into the sky with eight green terraces to connect the Center to the natural environment. The façade—composed of a series of angled and diagonal louvers—takes direction from the site’s unique sun patterns. While contributing to the building’s distinctive linear aesthetic, these design elements also contribute to comfort and sustainability efforts, keeping the building warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

延伸的裙楼占据了Commonwealth大街大部分临街立面，完善了街道景观同时也最大化地激活了首层空间。裙楼的透明性以及多孔性，作为城市门廊，为人们提供了到达、学习和聚集的场所。

该中心的概念是作为一个递增的学术社区，底层为数学与统计学使用，中间层供计算机科学使用，顶层则作为跨学科学习和公共空间。中庭为师生团体塑造了和谐的氛围，一条相互连接的楼梯从空间向上延伸8层，将各个学科连接起来，促进思想的交流，激发灵感的碰撞。

The podium is extended to occupy most of the Commonwealth Avenue frontage to complete the streetscape and generate maximum ground floor animation on the Avenue. Highly transparent and porous, it functions as an urban porch for arrival, study, and gathering.

The Center is conceptualized to function as ascending academic neighborhoods with bottom floors devoted to math and statistics, middle floors for computer science and the top floors for interdisciplinary work and public space. A central atrium unites faculty and students in a collaborative spirit and an interconnected staircase emerges from the area weaving upwards 8 floors to connect various disciplines, nurture cross-pollination of ideas and spark serendipitous encounters.

Open interior spaces take advantage of the Center’s unique position in the heart of Boston, with expansive river views afforded from three sides of the building.

Classrooms and collaboration spaces are illuminated with an abundance of light with floor to ceiling windows to remind students enveloped in the digital realm to remain inspired by the natural world and remember the link between technology and humanity.

What’s more, whiteboard walls throughout the core stimulate collaborative ideation while putting processes on display.

The design sets an ambitious new sustainability precedent for future academic buildings in Boston and beyond. In line with Boston University’s Climate Action Plan, which aims to reduce the institution’s carbon emissions to zero by 2040, the Center is targeted to attain LEED Platinum, and is 100% fossil-fuel free with a geothermal closed-loop system that heats and cools the building through a ground source heat pump system. The building draws on renewable and alternative energy sources, including solar panels, ground water recharge system and cutting-edge exterior shading systems.
