Wentworth Institute of Technology’s (WIT) new Center for Engineering, Innovation and Sciences (CEIS) is the first new academic building constructed on campus in 45 years. Part of a multi-year, $300 million improvement plan, the CEIS is a four-level, 78,000-square-foot facility that soars 64 feet tall above the Boston campus.
STV performed owner’s project management services for the center that fosters collaborative learning in a multidisciplinary academic environment. Housing spaces for physics, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and experiential learning programs, the CEIS also includes a Maker Space, lecture hall, manufacturing laboratories and the Office of the Provost. The building was designed to achieve LEED® Silver Certification v4 and exceeds the City of Boston’s requirements of sustainability with a highly efficient thermal envelope, and mechanical equipment designed for maximum efficiency including low-flow fume hoods.
