Several unique features of the Kerry Center, which is a three-building innovation and technology center on a 124-acre site with reclaimed prairie near Beloit, WI are presented. The Kerry Center complex includes three buildings, each one more complex in its energy use and air handling and ventilation requirements. The four-level 72,000-sq-ft Administrative Office Building was straightforward, yet the square footage was reduced during pre-design by using lean principles to streamline work processes and lessen unnecessary square footage before construction. The 76,000-sq-ft Technology Center is a manufacturing plant also used for research and development. Kerry Center's heating system, and the water system, consists of steam boilers. Steam is provided for research and development processes in the technology center, hot water heating, and domestic water heating. Chilled water is provided for research and development processes in the Technology Center and all building cooling needs.
