The MITRE Corporation, a prominent research and development corporation focused on projects in the public interest, is planning a new 96,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art employee center and gateway building for its Bedford campus. Beals and Thomas provided civil engineering, site planning, permitting, and survey services in support of the project. The center will include numerous green building elements and is expected to earn a LEED Silver Rating for the U.S. Green Building Council. Through a feasibility study funded by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, MITRE expanded on anticipated green building measures to develop an integrated plan for energy efficiency and renewable energy elements in the project. Using its current grant, MITRE will construct a 12.5-kilowatt photovoltaic canopy marking the building's entrance and will install 16.5 additional kilowatts of photovoltaics on the building's roof. This project will serve as a pioneering example of integrated renewable energy and energy efficiency in corporate headquarter projects.
