Building Systems Design Handbook MIT BUILDING SYSTEMS DESIGN HANDBOOK VERSION 1.2 Department of MIT FACILITIES MIT Building Systems Design Handbook Copyright © 2001 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All rights reserved. This Building Systems Design Handbook was developed by MIT for use exclusively by MIT’s Department of Facilities and its consultants for new construction and renovation projects. This Handbook sets forth MIT’s preferred standards for its own building systems and is not in- tended to supercede any applicable regulations or codes nor is it in- tended to stand as a representation of industry standards. MIT makes no express or implied warranties with respect to the fitness for any par- ticular purpose or accuracy of information provided in this Handbook. Users of the Handbook are required to fulfill their legal and professional obligations and to meet all applicable municipal, state, and federal codes and regulations. Editions: Revised pages or sections are always identified by the version number lo- cated in the lower right corner of each page. Version 1.1 October 2001: The first published draft of MIT’s Design Handbook Version 1.2 December 2001: Revisions include only the information on this new page and minor revisions to the Plumbing Section BUILDING SYSTEMS D E S I G N H A N D B O O K ver. 1.2 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Facilities Building Systems Design Handbook version 1.2 DIVISION 1 - General Requirements Table of Content USERS GUIDE MIT SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Project Management Documents Green Operations EHS Institute Spaces Lab Services GENERAL REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY OF WORK APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT COORDINATION CUTTING & PATCHING CODES, REGULATIONS, STADARDS & SUBMITTALS PROJECT MEETINGS CONTRACT MODIFICATION PROCEDURES SUBMITTALS DEFINITIONS & ACRONYMS MATERIALS & EQUIPMENTS CONTROL OF CONTAMINATION HAZARD COMMUNICATION & CHEMICAL HANDLING MOLDS, FUNGI, ANIMAL, BIRD AND BAT DROPPINGS CONSTRUCTION SITE SAFETY ISSUES SOIL & STORMWATER MANAGEMENT BUILDING SYSTEMS D E S I G N H A N D B O O K ver. 1.1 Summary of Key Issues What is MIT’s Building Systems Design Handbook? The Design Handbook is a document available on CDROM that describes MIT’s expectations for all of its construction projects as well as the process for design review. (Formerly known as the “RED Book” or MIT Construction Guidelines) Who uses this document? MIT’s Project Managers, all design consultants, together with the MIT Stakeholders will use the Handbook as a working template for the ongoing design and review process. Who are the MIT Stakeholders? They are the experts in the Engineering, Construction, Maintenance, and Operations Groups within MIT’s Department of Facilities. The Stakeholders are full participants in the writing and reviewing of their respective sections of this Building Systems Design Hand- book. What is the role of MIT Stakeholders during the design process? At each milestone, consultants are required to submit to the Project Manager a completed and signed Design Review Checklist which forms the basis for a formal Design Review Meeting with the stake- holder groups. In addition, a list of Required Engineering Docu- ments appears in the General Requirements section of the Hand- book. Who has the pivotal role in the design & review process? MIT’s Project Managers are responsible for balancing program & budget with the requirements of the Design Handbook. The Project Manager will negotiate with the Stakeholders to solve any conflicts and, if needed, can request a review with the Directors. How will this document be updated ? MIT will notify all active designers as periodic updates of the Hand- book become available for distribution on CDROM. Each individual page of the Handbook will include the Version label in the lower right corner so that users can identify immediately which portions have been revised. BUILDING SYSTEMS DBUILDING E S I G N H A SYSTEMSN D B O O K ver. 1.1 v Mission Statement: The MIT Department of Facilities provides the physical environment, utilities, and support services necessary to promote the educational and research activities of the Institute. This is accomplished by the Engineering, Construction, Maintenance, and Operating Groups of Facilities. To ensure quality service to the MIT commu- nity, the department provides strong coordination and communications between multi-functional groups and our customers. Training and the development of self-directed work teams promotes a work environment that encourages employee initiative and development. We strive to be a customer services oriented department. To communicate its needs to designers, the Department of Facilities employs two key mechanisms: an established process for Design Review and a set of Construction Guidelines. The latest version of the Design Guidelines is this electronic DESIGN HANDBOOK---a name that reinforces its importance to designers as the statement of MIT’s goals for its construction projects and, in addition, distinguishes this document from its predecessor known as the “RED Book” (MIT Construction Guidelines). The State Building Code is the start- ing point for MIT’s target zone for system performance. The HANDBOOK guides users towards standards of construction appropriate for the many different types of projects at the Institute. Finally, by requiring design- ers to submit signed Design Review Checklists at each project milestone, the HANDBOOK promotes an ongoing dialogue between design consultants and the experienced Engineering, Construction, Maintenance, and Operating Groups within the Department of Facilities who are referred to in this HANDBOOK as MIT Stakeholders. 2+ MIT 3+ 1+ Code 100% 4+ of Design Compliance Existing High Risk Insurance Codes Environments 0 Underwriter (e.g. Nuclear "Grandfathered" Power Plant) -1 Codes Non-existing or in disrepair Amount of Construction Deficient R E L I A B I L I T Y Version 1.1 of the new DESIGN HANDBOOK is issued to all MIT Stakeholders, MIT Project Managers and to design consultant teams as a goal to be met by all projects. All consultant teams will be notified of each release; however, each new issue will be an advisory document for designers that are already contractually bound to prior versions of the CODE. Projects currently in the construction documents phase or in construc- tion will not be required to adhere to a new version where cost or major redesign would be necessitated. Designers will be notified by MIT’s Project Managers if implementation of any new CODE requirements will be mandated for their projects. (next page) (return to Key Issues Summary) BUILDINGBUILDING SYSTEMS SYSTEMS D E S I G N H A N D B O O K ver. 1.1 The DESIGN HANDBOOK describes MIT’s goals for building systems as well as certain special requirements for all construction projects. MIT’s Project Managers, design consultants and MIT Stakeholders will use this HANDBOOK as a working template for the ongoing building system design and review process throughout the design and construction project. The Institute’s goal is adherence to HANDBOOK provisions as well as to budget and schedule. The new HANDBOOK is available on compact disc in a cross-platform PDF format.

  • Environmental Programs Office and Environment, Health, and Safety Office
    Environmental Programs Office and Environment, Health, and Safety Office In FY2004, its fifth year, the Environmental Programs Office (EPO) is the senior administrative office at MIT that is responsible for contributing to the establishment of MIT’s vision, commitment, and policies for environmental stewardship and for the health and safety of the MIT and larger community, working with and supporting presidential committees and councils, senior officers, and faculty and administration leaders. MIT’s values for excellent environmental stewardship and health and safety performance exceed regulatory compliance and embody a strong commitment to being an excellent environmental citizen of the world. MIT’s approach to excellence in environment, health, and safety (EHS) is distinguished by addressing the environment, health, and safety—as well as positive initiatives and compliance—in an integrated and comprehensive manner, while also facilitating and benefiting from interactions of environmental research and educational initiatives with EHS operational initiatives (e.g., recycling, food‐waste composting, “green” or high‐performance buildings, regular and regulated waste reduction, “green” procurement, ergonomics, and regulatory compliance). EPO and its EHS Office work closely with academic and research colleagues to both support their core work and to create an active and close link between MIT’s EHS performance in operations (including those in research laboratories, facilities, and dormitories) and MIT’s accomplishments in environmental research and teaching. EPO establishes the direction and strategy for its EHS Office, which delivers EHS services and supports and oversees day‐to‐day Institute‐wide EHS performance. The EHS Office has five programs, organized by discipline, and seven functional areas.

  • 2007 Brass Rat
    2007 BRASS RAT THE HISTORY In the spring of 1929, C. Brigham Allen appointed rep- Iresentatives from the Classes of 1930, 1931, 1932 to the first Massachusetts Institute of Technology Ring Committee. Charged with designing the first Standard Technology Ring, the Committee looked to the past for inspiration. Lester Gardner, Class of 1989, had proposed the bea- ver as the Institute mascot at the Technology Club of New York. On January 17, 1914, President Richard C. MacLaurin formally accepted the Beaver as the mascot of the Institute. The beaver adorns the bezel while the opposing shanks display MIT and the class year. Each year has designed a unique ring, representative of their experiences at MIT. As the seventy-sixth ring com- mittee, we are proud to present the 2007 Brass Rat, a ring that embodies both the tradition and individuality of the Class of 2007. THE BEZEL The beaver juggles three objects, symbolizing the tension we face daily, between class work, activities and need for fun. In the beaver’s hands are an hourglass Tand compass, symbolizing the valuable time we spend at MIT before making our way in the world. Up in the air is the elusive diploma that bridges our time here and our future. The sand in the hourglass spells out a “V” and an “H,” to honor both our outgoing president, Charles Vest and our incoming president, Susan Hockfield, whose arrival occurred our sophomore year. The nighttime setting of the scene parallels our nocturnal life-styles as MIT students. Two moons, one in the sky above him and one reflected in the water, since when we graduate in June 2007 under a blue moon.

News Office (AC0069) From the Office of Public Relations Massachusetts Institute of Technology FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Tel: UN 4-6900, Ext. 2701 A time capsule containing a sampling of the culture of 1966 will be buried in the ground beneath the new Alexander Calder stabile at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Microfilmed copies of a road atlas, a cookbook, a Sears, Roebuck catalogue and an Encyclopaedia of Science and Technology will be included in the contents of the capsule. There will be a collection of electronics components, an assortment of metals and fabrics and a lead and a copper plate bearing the alphabet and numerals. Various reports and booklets from M.I.T., photographs of the stabile and a class ring will also be in the collection. The time capsule will be lowered into the ground at 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, two days in advance of the dedication of McDermott Court, a newly developed campus area which has the Calder sculpture as a centerpiece. The steel stabile was erected last month under the sculptor's supervision and work on it and the court is now being completed. The court was named for Mr. and Mrs. Eugene McDermott of Dallas, Texas, whose generosity and interest made it possible. Mrs. McDermott will press the button controlling a hoist which will lower the capsule into the ground. The capsule will weigh more than 150 pounds. Materials which it will contain will be sealed in a pyrex glass tube six inches in diameter and four feet long.
