Roger
B.
Gatewood
Wing
 
 Mechanical
Engineering
at
Purdue
 The
 School
 of
 Mechanical
 Engineering
 was
 founded
 in
 1882
 and
 currently
 consists
 of
 more
 than
 12,500
 undergraduate
and
graduate
students.
Purdue’s
Mechanical
Engineering
undergraduate
program
is
currently
ranked
 seventh
 in
 the
 nation.
 Roger
 B.
 Gatewood
 was
 a
 1968
 graduate
 who
 gave
 the
 key
 leadership
 gift
 to
 the
 school
 of
 Mechanical
Engineering
to
support
the
new
learning
and
research
facilities
in
2003.
He
has
made
an
additional
gift
by
 funding
 the
 design
 and
 construction
 cost
 to
 qualify
 the
 building
 to
 seek
 Leadership
 in
 Energy
 and
 Environmental
 Design
(LEED).
 The
new
Gatewood
wing
will
be
Purdue
University’s
first
LEED
certified
building.
The
Gatewood
wing
represents
a
 new
green
generation
of
architecture
which
has
made
a
significant
impact
towards
Purdue
University’s
sustainability.
 The
new
wing
alone
will
be
saving
over
$20,000
in
annual
energy
costs.

 


The
Gatewood
Wing


In
 honor
 of
 Mechanical
 Engineering
 being
 Purdue's
 first
 engineering
 discipline,
 within
 the
 new
 Gatewood
 wing,
 Dr.
 Milton
 B.
 Hollander
 atrium
 will
 showcase
 the
 clock
 from
 the
 original
 Heavilon
 Hall
 which
 was
 the
 first
 Mechanical
 Engineering
 building
 on
 campus.
 The
 atrium
 will
 display
 student
 projects
 and
serve
as
a
venue
for
student
design
competitions
 and
recruiting
events.
The
new
wing
will
also
consist
 of:
  A
Prototype
Engineering
And
Realization
Lab
 (PEARL)
  Robert
 L.
 and
 Catherine
 R.
 Orth
 student
 Commons

  Herbert

  Faculty
and
graduate
student
offices

  Research
and
teaching
laboratories
  120

What
is
LEED?
 Developed
by
the
U.S.
Green
Building
Council
(USGBC),
LEED
provides
building
owners
and
operators
a
concise
 
 framework
for
identifying
and
implementing
practical
and
measurable
green
building
design,
construction,
operations
 
 and
maintenance
solutions.
USGBC
will
not
complete
their
grading
until
2011
after
construction.
The
initial
target
was
 to
obtain
LEED
certification
and
it
is
currently
on
target
to
achieve
LEED
gold
rating
of
which
39
to
51
points
earn
a
 gold
rating.
LEED
puts
a
premium
on
constructing
buildings
with
superior
interior
air
quality,
access
to
views,
daylight
 and
natural
ventilation.
Building
occupants
benefit
from
a
healthier,
more
pleasant
interior
environment.
 
 



 



 Innovation
&
Design
Process:





LEED
by
Example


To
provide
design
teams
and
projects
the
opportunity
to
be
awarded
points
for
exceptional
performance
above
the
 requirements
set
by
the
LEED
for
new
construction
green
building
rating
system
and/or
innovative
performance
in
 green
building
categories.
  15%
reduction
in
operating
costs
via
UVC
emitters
on
coils
and
drain
pans

  Low‐flow
plumbing
fixtures
  A
real
time
energy
dashboard
in
the
atrium
and
available
via
web.



 Sustainable
Sites:
 Reduce
pollution
from
construction
activities
by
controlling
soil
erosion,
waterway
sedimentation
and
airborne
dust
 generation.
  Alternative
transportation:
Boiler
ride,
city
bus
  Heat
Island
reduction
:
Solar
Reflectance
Index
(SRI)
exceeds
expectations
by
25%
 
 




 
 



 
 



 


Water
Efficiency:
 Limit
the
use
of
potable
water,
or
other
natural
surface
or
subsurface
water
resources
available
on
or
near
the
project
 site
for
landscape
irrigation.
  42.7%
water
use
reduction
  More
than
145,000
gallons
saved
annually
 Energy
&
Atmosphere:
 Verify
that
the
building’s
energy
related
systems
are
installed,
calibrated
and
performed
according
to
the
project
 requirements,
basis
of
design,
and
construction
documents.
  46%
less
electricity
used
  22.6%
energy
cost
savings
 Indoor
Environmental
Quality:
 Establish

Air
Quality
(IAQ)
performance
to
enhance
air
quality
within
buildings,
thus
contributing
to
 the
comfort
and
well‐being
of
the
occupants.
  92%
of
Workstations
equipped
with
task
lights
  Energy
performance
is
optimized
during
design
through
simulated
energy
modeling,
variable
volume
 mechanical
systems,
demand
controlled
ventilation,
energy
efficient
lighting
and
controls,
and
heat
reclaim
 coils
which
capture
waste
energy
from
exhaust
and
reclaim
it
to
condition
outside
air.
  Measurement
and
verification
of
energy
usage
will
enable
Purdue
University
to
continue
to
track
and
optimize
 energy
use
over
time.

 
 Materials
&
Resources:
 
Facilitate
the
reduction
of
