Not sure but it shows as a BU building in this virtual visit map too. BU should perform a major civic duty and restore that building to its original appearance. Interactive Campus Map Boston University Virtual Campus Experience (university-tour.com)

They are slow to finish off the missing louvers. Supply chain issues? This building looks weird in the 3D campus map: Boston University (bu.edu)

The BUtification of Boston???

The town is only taking a portion of the campus. I believe that the land that the town wants to take is not the site of the planned new Northeastern building. Northeastern shares updated proposals to expand Marine Science Center at selectmen’s meeting in Nahant - News @ Northeastern - News @...

Those buildings will be backfilled with something. BU's ever increasing research activity needs space. Despite BU owning most of the Kenmore Square area they still lease space in a few buildings there.
