Mission College Student Engagement Center
Santa Clara, California, United States
Glumac provided MEP engineering and energy services for the three-story Student Engagement Center. The facility serves 1,000 students and faculty and is now the new main entry point for the campus. Originally targeting LEED Gold certification, the project is now certified LEED Platinum.
Mission College’s commitment to sustainable building design requires that all new buildings achieve a minimum level of LEED Silver, campus-wide composting and recycling efforts, the use of eco-friendly cleaning products and classes that focus on habitat enhancement and sustainable aquaponics.
The design team understood these goals and responded with a design that targeted a strong level of LEED Gold. However, after analyzing the energy resource inputs and potential for energy adjustments within the project’s budgetary reach, the design team revised their target to strive for LEED Platinum. The Lean and collaborative approach, along with Glumac’s energy usage database, fostered the creativity needed to achieve the end-user savings and functionality necessary to position Mission College as a sustainable campus.
