George Sherman Union, Brutalist student center at Boston University, US.

The George Sherman Union stands as a central building featuring nine restaurants, banking facilities, auditoriums, and administrative offices at Boston University.

The Brutalist architecture structure, named after Boston industrialist and university benefactor George Sherman, opened its doors during spring 1963.

The student union functions as Boston University's community center, providing spaces for student organizations, information exchange, and educational programs.

The building connects directly to Mugar Memorial Library and houses the BU Scarlet Safewalk service for student safety.

During its initial opening, the building contained a ten-lane bowling alley in the basement level.
