Constructed on a 20-acre site already occupied by an existing school that remained fully operational throughout construction, the new 422,000-sq-ft facility required a carefully phased plan to maintain safety and limit disruption to students and staff.
The 37,000-sq-ft facility features a state-of-the-art theater as well as music and AV systems, all expertly designed, coordinated and installed to create an optimal environment for practice and performance.
Following a pandemic-related work stoppage that also forced a 25% reduction in the project scope, the team relaunched the upgrade with a sequenced retrofit by installing detailed and complex steel reinforcements to the hockey arena’s barreled roof and adding a new media loft.
With a capacity of 1.4 million gallons, the $10.3-million tank produces chilled water during off-peak nighttime hours, significantly reducing the university’s energy costs.
The $1-million project restores commuter rail service between Boston and three previously underserved cities with nearly 40 miles of new track, six new stations, 12 bridges, 28 grade crossings and two new layover facilities.
During the winter of 2024-25, the project team placed more than 1.2 million cu yd of dredged sand along three beach sections as part of a larger effort to protect vulnerable coastline from erosion and storm surge risks.
The project reimagined a site with three aging commercial buildings as a 13-story landmark that pairs high-end retail with 10 ultra-luxury condominiums.
Unable to expand outward, the team had to maximize every square inch of the 50-year-old, 185,000-sq-ft building’s interior space to accommodate a dense and highly technical program, including more than 600 pieces of lab equipment.
Located within the 50-story One Wall Street, one of the most architecturally significant buildings in Manhattan’s financial district, the two-level, 55,000-sq-ft department store blends Parisian heritage with innovation in a layout that guides visitors through a series of immersive rooms.
Timely completion of the 70,000-sq-ft academic facility was critical to launching a new nursing education program, addressing an urgent regional health care workforce need.
