“A window into Rose” with new, flexible spaces for learning and discovery

The new $29 million Rose-Hulman Academic Building opened for students in Fall 2021 with new workspaces, design studios, classrooms, labs, and more.

R.E. Dimond and Associates was challenged with maintaining energy efficiency through the “Window into Rose” all-glass building, while utilizing 100% outside air to accommodate the exhaust hoods in the chemistry and biochemistry labs.

Overview

  • Project: Hulman Academic Building
  • Location: Rose-Hullman Institute of Technology Campus, Terre Haute
  • Client: Rose-Hulman
  • Project size: 70,000 SF
  • Goal: New construction and renovation

Rose Hulman envisioned a new academic building on campus that would provide collaborative workspaces, design studios, flexible classrooms, chemistry laboratories, and faculty innovation spaces.

The 3-story building includes:

  • Student project space.
  • A shop/maker spaces on level one.
  • classrooms and interdisciplinary labs on level two.
  • Replacement chemistry labs for both research and teaching on level three.

In the lab space, students use the same state-of-the-art equipment as professionals, such as a centralized vacuum pump and customizable gas delivery system. The connected space also allows for more interdisciplinary opportunities for undergraduate research.

Creative MEP design included tapping into and upsizing an adjacent multi-building chiller plant, tapping into an adjacent boiler plant, upgrading multiple building water softening systems, and addition of life safety generators, and communication infrastructure.

The building is Indiana’s first WELL AP certified design and includes all ergonomic, technology, and operational protocols that come with that rare distinction. As a result of detailed engineering, R.E. Dimond was also able to secure utility rebates for Rose Hulman.
