Filling the northeast corner of a mega-block created by closing Manning Street between Thayer and Brook Streets, The Cambridge Seven’s Computer Sciences Building icily presents a sheer wall to the world beyond the campus, along Waterman and Brook Streets. Its principal countenance, facing inward on the block, is only slightly less off-putting for the university community it attempts to embrace with its stretched wings and stepped-back massing.
