This 68,000 square foot classroom building addition at the Northeast Technology Campus is the new home of the Engineering and Science departments of the College. The program features teaching labs and classrooms focusing on clean energy technology, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing, supporting the mission of the College’s regional research partners. The design includes student-centered “casual” spaces that encourage social interaction and collaboration. Flexibility and adaptability are key design concepts to allow for changes in mission and technology. Classrooms receive generous amounts of day lighting as an aid to student performance. The addition integrates with the existing campus, both aesthetically and functionally, while also responding to elements of the site including a large pond that defines the “natural classroom” at the rear of the building. This project is certified LEED Gold.
