University Decision Support (formerly the Office of Institutional Research and Data Administration) has moved to the sixth floor of 177 Huntington!

Designed by I.M. Pei Partners and built in 1973, the tower at 177 Huntington is a Brutalist structure owned by the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Like Boston’s famous City Hall, 177 Huntington is a concrete juggernaut in the skyline that is both iconic and controversial in its design.

Brutalist architecture is known for its “repeated modular elements forming masses representing specific functional zones, distinctly articulated and grouped together into a unified whole.” Popular between the 1950s and 1970s, Brutalist structures are often described as “heavy” in style as opposed to both the “lighter” designs of the 1930s and 40s and the glass and steel structures that followed.
