Campus as a living laboratory
- 1. may 9.2016 John Fernandez, Dir. of MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative AccessMyCommute • John Attanucci, Lecturer & Manager MIT Transit Research Program • Corey Tucker, 3rd year, Master of Sci. in Transport. and Technology & Policy MIT Roof Study • Taya Dixon, Senior Planner, Capital Renewal • Isaac LaJoie, 4th year, Mechanical Engineering 2100 Resiliency Planning • Mike Wilson, Urban Studies and Planning • Jacqueline Kuo, 4th year, Mechanical Engineering campus as a living laboratory
- 4. Benefits of AccessMyCommute • Institute – Reduction in parking demand – Increased campus sustainability • Employees – Information for decision making – Carpool facilitation – Financial incentives
- 5. Challenges/Research Advances • Platform integration (Combining a mobile app with secure, interactive employee dashboard on established site) – RideAmigos – Unity – ATLAS – Moves • Data (Can we collect and present reliable dashboard data seamlessly with minimal user assistance?) – Availability – Reliability – Processing • User reception/experience (Can we get eyes repeatedly on the dashboard; can we measure & change commuting behavior?) – Email messaging – Use of Moves

Enhance community engagement by transforming and creating programming in underutilized open space 3. Using the Commons Framework, advocate for and implement open space in future campus planning projects
- 16. • Suggested structure – 6 elected faculty members – 3 undergraduates students – 2 graduate students – 2 representatives from the Office of the Dean for Student Life – Additional student involvement in open “town hall” meetings • At the level of an MIT institute committee • Consult on new building projects • Reflect on existing open spaces and suggest renovations Design Behavior Shift Beaver Fever Open Space Committee Recommendation

Stakeholder Pros Concerns MIT Corporation ● Iconic part of MIT and opportunity to rebrand MIT as a leader in innovative climate-ready campuses ● Cost MIT President ● Personal legacy ● Promotes student mental health ● Vibrant outdoor scene promotes MIT’s image and attracts potential students ● Project may begin or end at a different president’s term Office of Facilities ● Aligned with campus climate goals ● Increase student interaction ● Student Center’s maintenance costs rise as the building gets older ● Upfront expenses ● Timeline/schedule of construction Students ● New center ● More comfortable space ● Without a student center during construction period (2 years?) - especially difficult for student group offices City of Cambridge ● Healthier + happier students are more invested in being part of broader community ● Noise from construction Stakeholder Concerns

Notas do Editor
- Tool for all MIT employees offering real time trip planning information, tracking of commuting habits (modes, distance, dates), carpool facilitation and financial incentives.
- Integrating three platforms in the RideAmigos Unity, ATLAS and Moves platforms presented significant challenges with access coming from within ATLAS, and automated account creation is both Unity and Moves Data challenges included availability for all MIT employees. Data was not immediately, automatically available for parkers in ungated lots and some transit users. This was rectified by adding self-reporting at a later time. Reliability from the various data sources (MBTA, parking and transportation, and Moves), safeguards are in place to ensure that should data be missed week to week, it will be caught and added during the next push. Processing…although quality control measures were taken, expansion to over 8,000 MIT users led to some data processing complications. Email messaging was effective, but not reliable as some employees report receiving emails promptly while others did not receive information in a timely manner. Incorporation of Moves proved more difficult than expected, and additional instructions had to be added.
- Creating informal gathering spaces and encouraging spontaneous interactions among students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the community and visitors to campus. Commons Framework - preferred locations for campus community spaces Study on Community and Student Activity Space on MIT Campus -Created by MIT Planning Office
- Size and composition based off of http://studentlife.mit.edu/sites/default/files/CSL%20roster%202015-16.pdf http://web.mit.edu/ir/surveys/pdf/2013_SQL_Survey_Open_Comments_DRAFT_2013July.pdf MIT may be planning to renovate the student center anyway (maybe some MIT surveys in the past say that students want more open space, I will have to check...) Endowed committee independent/discretionary to students- decide how funds are spent Eg. Harvard 5 options- harvard college endowment, financial aid, lecture fund...etc SUGGESTED strucuture, doesn’t really have to be it What kind of power that entails- institute committee? MIT’s governance structure is supported by a strong system of committees and councils. Institute-wide committees and councils that have been established by the governing body of the Faculty and by the President.
- http://web.mit.edu/corporation/about.html http://orgchart.mit.edu/corporation-and-institutional-officers The renovation will also bring student center up to modern building codes Utilizing current sustainability standards while ensuring historic preservation. MAYBE Installation of life safety systems, sprinkler protection, heat and air conditioning, refurbished windows, security, and network upgrades. Israel Ruiz-The Executive Vice President and Treasurer is the chief steward of over $17.7 billion of MIT's financial assets and $3.1 billion in operating revenues (2015), and is responsible for administering the Institute's $5 billion capital plan through 2030. Areas of responsibility also include human resources, information systems, facilities, and operations.
