MIT Sloan SchoolThe new 217,000 SF, $142 million facility MIT Sloan School of Managment consolidates all MIT Sloan faculty offices in one building while providing classrooms, an executive education suite, dining and space for group study.

 

This LEED Gold certified bulding has been labeled the greenest on the MIT campus. Sustainability in all categories - environmental, financial, and social - was a design priority.

Among the features that make this "heart of MIT Sloan" so sustainable are:

  • a building envelope that is designed to be highly insulated and airtight;
  • an HVAC system that utilizes chilled beams and radiant panels to regulate temperature;
  • an integrated lighting system that provides dimming of office lights and shade control in response to occupancy and daylight conditions;
  • extensive bicycle parking;
  • photovoltaic panels on the uppermost roof; and
  • a flexible design of faculty offices and classrooms that can be redesigned when appropriate for the foreseenable future of 100 years.
