Discussion in the lab about 'what education could look like in the future' has sparked some stellar discussion throughout the CIS Dept on the development of a new building.

Here are some shots of the industrial feel / design we'd be shooting for. One shot in here is of a wild building with a sloped green roof. The sloped veriosn won't work for our app, but a green roof just might.

MIT has been pulling previously separate offices / departments together for a bit now. By mixing the brain trust together new ideas are generating... the lines between previously separate disciplines are vanishing. In the case of a new building, we'd look to combine:

High-end computer and networking labs, video editing and audio studios, television studio, independent film and animation as well. Incorporate solar energy, wind energy and related testing gear - integrate the systems into the building. Hydroponics throughout to thread in a more natural environment, air filtration and humidity control to the environment. Many new buildings out and about mix in high tech environments with a more natural approach.

The [|NRG] building in Hinesburg, VT is one such model that we'll look at.

We may also find some inspiration here on our other page dedicated to house building technologies. This one by [|Lucid Designs] is interesting integrating monitoring systems into the building.
