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.
A total of 11 floors underwent full demolition while several intermediate floors remained fully occupied, requiring strategic coordination across non-contiguous work zones.
Named for its address, 200 Clarendon St., this one-time conventional, second-floor office space is now a 300,000-sq-ft hospitality and wellness-infused club.
Community engagement played a key role in shaping the $9.6-million strategy to replace the picturesque, yet deteriorating concrete tied-arch bridge spanning the reversing falls across Salt Pond that lead to the Atlantic Ocean.
The $82-million project replaced a severely deteriorated 1920s-era through-truss bridge with a 2,087-ft-long, six-span structure designed to serve this key border crossing for at least 100 years.
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.
Collaboration is at the heart of this new 323,000-sq-ft facility, which brings together scientists, engineers and physicians from multiple disciplines to solve critical global health problems.
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.
