Robert L. Preger Intelligent Workplace

Constructed in 1997 on the roof of Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall, the Robert Preger Intelligent Workplace at Carnegie Mellon University demonstrated leadership in building performance and sustainability before LEED certification existed. It is now a living laboratory of advances in building enclosure, mechanical, lighting, telecommunications and interior systems, as well as the next generation of building controls to support human health and productivity at the highest level of environmental sustainability. This project spurred many more green buildings on the CMU campus and continues to be internationally recognized for its research in the field. The Robert Preger Intelligent Workplace provides offices and workspace for students, staff, and faculty in the School of Architecture’s Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics (CBPD). In conjunction with its university-industry-government partnership, the Advanced Building Systems Integration Consortium (ABSIC), the CBPD is engaged in ground-breaking work that investigates the impact of natural and advanced technologies on the physical, environmental, and social quality in buildings and communities.
