With the completion of Kemeny Hall, the Mathematics Department has reunited
under one roof after 25 years of occupying three separate buildings. Their new
space features:
- 20 tenure-track offices
- 3 emeriti offices
- 16 research faculty and staff offices
- 12 graduate students offices, accommodating 24 students
- 6 smart classrooms (accommodating 24 - 110 people)
- 9 new labs
The Haldeman Center houses the Ethics Institute, the Leslie Humanities
Center, and the Dickey Center for International Understanding in one space of
approximately 30,000 gross square feet. The centers enliven the intellectual
life of the campus with speakers, conferences and programs. Located across the
street from the Rockefeller Center, the Haldeman Center will increase the
visibility of the exciting work of the centers and encourage collaboration
among centers.
The Dickey Center is located on both the first and third floors of Haldeman,
and provides the following spaces:
- 25 offices for Center administration, visiting fellows, and student
assistants
- 2 25-person seminar rooms
- Lounge
- Reception areas on both floors
- Library and conference room
- Kitchen
- Storage and supply rooms
The Leslie Center for the Humanities is located primarily on the second
floor, with additional space on the third floor, and provides:
- 11 offices for administration and visiting fellows
- One 25-person seminar room
- Lounge
- Kitchen
- Computer work room
- Reception area
- Storage and supply rooms
The Ethics Institute is located on the second floor, and has:
- 6 offices for center administration and visiting faculty
- Conference room and library
- Reception area
- Storage and supply rooms
All three centers share 3 more rooms:
- Lobby/display gallery on the first floor
- 75-100-person conference room on the ground floor
- Multimedia conference room for 15-20 people, also on the ground floor
Kemeny/Haldeman was built with the goal of attaining U.S. Green Building
Council LEED Silver certification for sustainable design. To accomplish that
goal, the building features:
- High-performance building envelope comprised of triple-glazed windows and
highly efficient spray-foam insulation
- Valence and chilled beam heating and cooling technologies
- Enthalpy heat recovery
- Variable frequency drives and direct digital controls for heating and
cooling systems
- Fully commissioned mechanical systems
The exterior features a graceful combination of brick, painted brick, stone,
and copper that allows this new building to sit harmoniously with the
surrounding buildings, while at the same time highlighting non-traditional
design features (such as the brick sequence that illustrates the Fibonacci
progression that is repeated at various points on the exterior façade).
