DESCRIPTION:
The new two-story 36,000 SF structure will house Division Suites, Adjunct Faculty Offices, Full Time
Faculty Offices and Meeting Rooms, providing much needed collaborative learning and teaching
environments. The IOB will enclose a new courtyard between two existing buildings that will funnel
prevailing breezes across a permeable paving walk towards its two-story naturally ventilated lobby.
Hold-open doors at ground level on the west face and high operable windows located on the east side
will promote a natural flow of outside air through the space. A concrete "drum" placed in the back of the
lobby and veiled by an east facing window wall, will act as a heat-sink to further promote natural heating
and cooling of the space. IOB is designed to receive a LEED® Silver Certification from the USGBC.
ENERGY STAR Challenge Criteria:
