这是由SmithGroupJJR设计的奥克兰大学工程中心。该项目是工程与计算机科学院（SECS）的教学楼，为工程学术研究提供了先进技术，同时为学生提供了可持续的机械与电力系统的学习工具。新建筑设有三联供系统，使用了天然气为部分建筑提供电力；产电期间的热量则用于加热和冷却，以及热水供应和应急电源供应。这是通过冷却-波束系统和加热水泵的组合加以实现的，从而创建了一个首开先河的系统，并通过21.6千瓦的屋顶光伏板进一步加强，从而显著降低年耗能成本和该大学的碳排放。

Oakland University’s new facility for the School of Engineering and Computer Sciences (SECS) provides advanced technologies for academic engineering studies, while sustainable mechanical and electrical systems serve as a hands on learning tools for the students. This new facility features a trigeneration system that uses natural gas to generate a portion of the building’s electric power; the recovered heat from the electrical generation provides heating and cooling, as well as hot water and emergency power. This is uniquely combined with a chilled-beam system and heat pump to create a first-of-its-kind system, which is further enhanced by 21.6 kW of photovoltaics on the roof, to significantly reduce annual energy costs and the University’s carbon footprint.

To enhance the building’s educational role, SECS faculty and students can conduct research through an energy dashboard. They have the ability to access data from the trigeneration and chilled beam systems, monitor energy usage and propose improvements to the operation sequence. The facility also boasts a high bay capstone lab, cleanroom, full service machine shop, and rooftop energy lab where students conduct experiments on solar and wind generation. The lobby acts as student demonstration space and corridor windows offer clear views into the project labs, putting science on display.

The building was specifically designed with hands-on, team-based learning spaces to support a variety of interdisciplinary projects and an assortment of collaborative spaces that students can easily reconfigure to support group projects. Students, faculty and staff have noted how the building feels like home with a great deal of activity, ideal places to study and vitality all hours of the day.
