George Sherman Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The George Sherman Union (GSU) is the student union building at Boston University. The Brutalist-styled building opened in Spring 1963.[1] When it opened, the Union had a 10-lane bowling alley in its basement.[2] The building is named for the Boston industrialist, philanthropist, and Boston University benefactor. The Union was modeled after similar student centers in Midwestern universities.

Inside are many of Boston University's administrative offices, a nine-restaurant food court, two bank branches, several auditoriums and other open space, as well as a United States post office, campus security. The GSU abuts Mugar Memorial Library, the school's main library.
