With several advanced energy systems, including photovoltaics and fuel cells, it produces 22% more energy than it needs to operate, at just 5-6% more cost than a conventional building. The building achieves daylight autonomy 325 days of the year at a 65% energy reduction below standards. Situated at the front entrance of the historic campus, the building follows a circular drive to create two gently arced workspaces suffused with daylight.
