The Bioscience Education Center is a 145,000 GSF, LEED Gold teaching facility, located on the Montgomery College Germantown Campus. Occupied in the Fall Semester 2014 the building contains offices, classrooms, laboratories, computer labs, a conference center and a high performance central heating and cooling plant.

Join USGBC-NCR’s Montgomery County Committee for a presenation that will discuss the planning, design and construction of this facility, providing insight into unique sustainability features such as the College’s amplified commissioning requirements, photovoltaics, and a central chilled and hot water plant with ice thermal storage, ammonia refrigeration, and a frictionless chiller. The presentation will discuss the extensive site development, which included infrastructure for the new Holy Cross Hospital, re-alignment and installation of major roadway systems, realignment of major WSSC water distribution infrastructure, forest conservation and tree stand delineation, and storm water management studies. A walking tour of the facility will included the central plant, typical lab and classroom layouts, and rooftop mechanical penthouse with extensive views of the surrounding area.

All areas are accessible but closed toe, flat heal shoes are required in mechanical spaces and on the roof.
