Fact Sheet
Design Features
The design includes 205 offices, 6 classrooms, over 30 group study
rooms, dining, Executive Education suite, lounge areas, and new, usable
outdoor spaces including a rebuild of Sloan Plaza. The building’s
layout, endorsed by the Cambridge Historic Commission and the Cambridge
Planning Board, will connect to Buildings E52 and E60, improving service
access to all MIT facilities on the block and incorporating both older
buildings in a unified expression around an elevated outdoor terrace
along Memorial Drive. The new building’s address at 100 Main
Street, and its orientation to the north express its role as the eastern-most
MIT building in announcing the campus to motorists and pedestrians
crossing the Longfellow Bridge.
A large garage, to be managed by the MIT Parking and Transportation Office, with a 425 car capacity will be created below the building.
Occupancy
Sloan School of Management
Square Feet
The underground garage will be approximately 190,000 GSF; the new
E62 building above will be approximately 215,000 GSF.
Sustainable Design Elements
Building E62, like most of MIT’s new buildings, will be submitted
for a “LEED” rating by the U.S. Green Building Council.
As configured, the design is expected to qualify for a “LEED
Silver” or higher rating. Project design is expected to achieve
lighting at an average energy use below 1 watt per square foot (sq.ft.),
cooling at over 700 sq.ft. per ton, heating at about 10 BTUH/sq.ft.,
controlling heat gain by high performance glazing supplemented by
motor-operated window shading in critical applications, broad use
of occupancy sensing and demand-based ventilation, and careful sizing
of pumps and fans to reduce parasitic loads. Offices will have operable
windows and individual space temperature control. Where feasible,
water-based terminal units like chilled beams and radiant panels will
be used for space heating and cooling.
