The Center for Student Services is Boston University's latest green building. It serves to unite six academic advising programs for undergraduate students into a single facility.
The center's state of the art dining hall anchors dining operations in the East Campus area replacing three outdated, inefficient dining locations. The new dining concepts: Marciano Commons, Rize and Late Night Kitchen became three of only 13 4-Star Certified Green Restaurant in the country, certified by the Green Restaurant Association, and Boston University is the only university in the country to have 4-stars.
The center is certified LEED Gold by U.S. Green Building Council modeled to be 24% more energy efficient and 45% more water efficient than a base building.
