Center for Computing & Data Sciences Building
Located on Commonwealth Avenue, the Center for Computing & Data Sciences rises dramatically above the central campus of Boston University. Consisting of a 19-story, 305-foot-tall tower, and 5-story podium, the building is a hub for the campus and a showcase for the departments of Mathematics & Statistics, Computer Science, the interdisciplinary faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, and the Rafik B Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering. Designed by internationally renowned design firm KPMB Architects of Toronto, Canada, the Center for Computing & Data Sciences capitalizes on its location in the heart of campus to create an inviting meeting place. The design of the building encourages collaboration and innovation between disciplines by creating vertically stacked research “neighborhoods” with staggered green-roofed terraces, interconnecting feature stairs, and generous public spaces.

A Rhinestone in the Rough
Stamford Media Village is not just another nondescript five-story office building (Figure 1). What is so unique about this project? Everything! Rewind to 2018 when Wheelhouse Properties acquired a derelict 1920s vintage reinforced concrete factory building located at the South end of Stamford, Connecticut – a rhinestone in the rough. The site is situated along a barge canal adjacent to Long Island Sound and is surrounded by redeveloped mill buildings.

When the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) identified a need to expand their existing Anderson Graduate School of Management (AGSM), they were presented with a clear challenge: the lack of a viable location to place a new building on a campus with limited square footage. The solution was to construct the new building entirely upon an existing parking structure adjacent to the School of Management.
