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.
