Saturday, 12 February 2023: I'd passed by the new Center for Computing and Data Sciences (I had to look up the name - it's colloquially referred to as the "Jenga Building") but hadn't had a chance to stop and look. This is a document of our walk at sunset to see it up close (and from the river).
Approaching from St. Mary's Street. On the left is BU's Stone Science building.
View of the southwest corner, lower floors, from Granby Street
Looking east on Comm. Ave., with the Prudential Building in the background; Warren Towers (700 Comm. Ave.) on the right.

We wondered what it was like to live in one of the Bay State Road brownstones with the new neighbor.
From across Storrow Drive, it's still quite a massive presence.
Here's the Charles River, looking east.
Looking back, upriver, from near Charlesgate. The larger structures are (from left) the Center, LAW building, the Student Village, the Hyatt (Cambridge), and several residential towers at MIT.
