Editor’s note: The authors will be presenting this topic at Build Boston 2011 (Presentation Code: A43). by David Atwood, Katelyn Filippetti, and Jeff Fullerton

for many years, walls made from studs and drywall have been used to divide space, provide visual and acoustical privacy, and contain power and commu-nications for access to technology. Now, building profession-als are looking at new ways to improve the performance and flexibility of fixed wall construction while maintaining its benefits. To improve their bottom line and remain nimble for chang-ing workplace configurations, many com-panies are finding modular wall solutions, such as moveable and demountable walls, as a high-performance alternative to fixed interior wall construction. combining modular wall systems with an integrated application of sound-absorbing finishes and background sound-masking can result in a highly flexible environment that meets or exceeds traditional wall construction.

While first costs for movable walls are comparable to traditional construction, their long-term benefit is realized in terms of organizational adaptability. modular wall systems offer facility managers the

ability to significantly alter the layout of spaces without the cost, demolition waste, and downtime associated with traditional stud and drywall construction.

for companies facing rapid growth or with a strong cul-ture of collaboration, modular walls can provide many benefits over an open office plan. Demountable partitions offer greater acoustical separation than open worksta-tions, and the proper choice of height and materials can mitigate most sound transmis-sion concerns. many systems offer the ability to detail and customize the inte-rior solution in a way that bridges the gap between architecture and office furniture.

one option is to integrate office furniture that consists of solid barriers at lower elevations, with transparent materials, such as glass or plexiglas, at higher elevations. A combi-nation of these two approaches can create visual openness in the work environment along with reduced sound transmission as a result of the increased barrier height.

Boston - The Boston Society of Ar-chitects (BSA) announced that the 2011 BSA Design Awards will be presented on January 26, 2012 at a gala dinner at the copley marriott hotel in Boston. This for-mal event will bring together hundreds of architects, contractors, engineers, owners, and other professionals to celebrate the best

of New England’s design and construction industry.

“The Design Awards gala is a great way to honor firms and individuals whose work has been recognized by their peers,” said margaret wigglesworth, BSA execu-tive director.

BSA Design Awards gala Announced

Arlington, VA - According to an analysis of producer price index figures released recently by the Associated gen-eral contractors of America (Agc) the amount contractors pay for a range of key construction materials held steady in September but climbed 8.1% from the year-earlier level. meanwhile, the price contractors charge for new nonresiden-tial building construction edged up only 2% to 3% over 12 months, depending on building type.

Association officials said that while state and local construction bud-

gets will continue to contract for the foreseeable future, washington could help offset some of the decline by en-acting legislation to make needed long-term investments in highways, transit systems, clean water systems, airports, and runways.

“Even if construction prices re-bound in the near future, it is still a lot less expensive to maintain infrastructure while it is operating than to fix it once it breaks,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer.

Boxborough, mA - Sweeney Drywall finishes and Sweeney firestop Special-ties announced the acquisition of Af Un-derhill Inc. and the formation of a unified company operating as Sweeney construc-tion Specialties that will operate alongside Sweeney Drywall.

on any commercial construction project. The addition of the Af Underhill

management and field personnel will allow Sweeney construction Specialties to con-tinue to serve all of its current retail clients in the refrigerated case and fixturing mar-kets as well as provide the support neces-sary to service these markets at a higher level both locally and regionally.

by Janet Pirrello “Assembly Row – Boston’s Next

great Neighborhood” was the theme of the New England women in Real state (NEwiRE), the region’s leading profes-sional organization promoting the advance-ment of women within the commercial real estate industry, luncheon program on oc-tober 20, 2011 at the four Seasons hotel. The audience of 240 attendees was treated to a sneak peek of this highly-anticipated mixed-use development in Somerville, pre-sented by Don Briggs, president - Boston at federal Realty Investment Trust.

federal Real-ty’s strategy is to buy the best real estate in the best markets, and turn commercial real estate into excit-ing destination retail centers that suit their exceptional loca-tions. federal Realty determined that the demographics were

right for a project of this type in Boston: people ranging from young millennials to baby boomers are craving a more con-nected and convenient lifestyle that urban neighborhoods have to offer. Spread across 50+ acres on the mystic River, Assembly Row is built on the success of federal Re-alty’s premiere properties around the coun-try, including Santana Row in San Jose, california and Bethesda Row in Bethesda, maryland. Known for their extreme sense of place and vibrant merchandising, fed-eral Realty properties are heralded as the top destinations in their markets, producing some of the best sales and traffic in those markets.

Don gave an overview of the As-sembly Row neighborhood, which is one of the largest development sites in the re-gion and promises to be a local as well as a regional destination supported by great access to Route 93 and its own T station. complementing the legacy of Boston and cambridge, the Assembly Row neighbor-hood is a mix of retail, restaurants, enter-tainment, residences, offices, and a hotel designed to appeal to savvy, eco-conscious and discerning consumers. only minutes from Boston, the project is connected to the great entrepreneurial centers in the Boston area: Kendall Square, Innovation District, longwood medical center, harvard and

mIT. Assembly Row offers direct highway access to I-93 and will be anchored by a new mBTA train station on the orange line, a feature that will draw urbanites for work and play. This new station, approved just weeks ago by the MBTA, is the first station to be added to the T subway system in 25 years. The station will open in 2014.

The cohesive neighborhood envi-ronment has impressive numbers. The five million sf mixed use project boasts 550,000sfof retail, a 60,000sf movie com-plex, 1.75 million sf of lEED-engineered office space, 2,100 residential units, and up to 200 hotel rooms. The rental units, co-developed and managed by residential partner Avalon Bay, will break down in size as they move toward the water. Retail will occupy the first floor of the buildings, and walkable streets and accessible parking will make transit consumer-friendly.

Assembly Row is seeking a lEED for Neighborhood Development (lEED-ND), delivering an environmentally-friendly approach to the network of streets, buildings, common areas, and lifestyle. federal Realty Trust is also creating dy-namic public spaces for gathering, events, and community programs. The public wa-terfront park will be fully redeveloped; connecting Assembly Row to the mystic River and marina, and two large park areas inside Assembly Row will host a full calen-dar of events and programming such as ice skating, concerts, shopping events, movie and art festivals, and the like. with the in-frastructure installation coming to a close across the full project, groundbreaking on several of Assembly Row’s new buildings is planned for Spring 2012, followed by the opening of Assembly Row in late 2013. As-sembly Row is currently leasing its office and retail space.

NEwiRE ex-tends its sincere ap-preciation to Don Briggs for presenting at its october lun-cheon.

Janet Pirrello, a senior vice president with BayNorth Capi-tal, is the 2011-2012 president of New Eng-land Women in Real Estate (NEWiRE).

Boston - A new mixed use residential development at 381 congress Street will turn an existing five-story warehouse in the Innovation District into 44 new housing units with ground-floor retail.

The BRA board unanimously ap-proved the $17.5 million project proposed by Berkeley Investment Inc., the same de-veloper responsible for fp3, an eight-story luxury loft development in fort point.

The project will include 28 workforce units, which are smaller-than-market size with accessible rent price points, and 16 extended stay units. The project’s smaller sized residences reflect the Mayor’s objec-tives to provide moderately priced, flexible, and architecturally unique lodging for those who will contribute to the city’s innovation economy. The approximately 35,000sf of housing is planned for the upper four floors

of the building.Additionally, the project will include

approximately 6,000sf of ground floor res-taurant or retail space and a 1,200sf outdoor patio at the corner of Boston wharf Road and congress Street. planned amenities in-clude Zip car or equivalent on the prem-ises, bicycle storage, rooftop garden plant-ers, and direct delivery from a community supported agriculture (cSA) service.

The exterior of the building will be rehabilitated to reflect its historic character, and the interior will be renovated, blending classic 20th century architecture with con-temporary finishes.

The project architect is ADD Inc., and legal counsel is goulston & Storrs.

construction is expected to break ground before the end of the year.

High-Profile Feature: Hobbs Brook

Norwood, mA - hobbs Brook man-agement llc, a pioneer in the de-velopment of office space in the

Boston suburbs, recently broke ground on its latest Class A office building, a four- story, 160,00 sf structure in Norwood. It is anticipated the project will achieve lEED Silver certification for new construction by the US green Building council (USgBc) and will be the first office building in Nor-wood to do so. The building, located at 1175 Boston/providence highway in Nor-wood, will be shared by fm global, one of the world’s largest business property insur-ers, and Dedham medical Associates. The groundbreaking occurred on october 21.

helen Abdallah Donohue, select-woman for the Town of Norwood, said, “Thank you. we’re so proud you chose to make Norwood as your next improvement location.”

fm global, which has operated in Norwood since the late 1940s, will relo-cate nearly 200 employees from 500 River Ridge Drive in Norwood to this new build-ing, which is situated on the same campus as fm global’s center for property Risk Solutions.

The $4.7 billion company chose to relocate its insurance offices to enhance the company’s ability to meet client needs and provide a centralized location for its massa-chusetts-based employees.

Dedham medical Associates will re-locate its Norwood office from 325 River Ridge Drive in order to enhance the patient experience in a larger space.

“As an environmental advocate and

leader, conservation has been ingrained in our business philosophy for more than 175 years,” said Tom lawson, executive vice president, fm global.

margulies perruzzi Architects de-signed the building to accommodate both tenants with separate entrances and lobbies for each. The Dedham Medical office fea-tures a drop-off canopy entrance for patient convenience and an adjacent glass-enclosed stair tower visible from Route 1.

fm global’s entrance features a glass canopy. A shared café resides on the fm global side of the building but is accessible

to Dedham medical patients from an exterior door. The new building was sited to fit into the complex of of-fice buildings that compris-es fm global’s center for property Risk Solutions, and a landscaped connec-tion was created to join the new building to the exist-ing buildings. The façade of

precast concrete and metal rainscreen pan-els was chosen to blend into the context of the other buildings.

“we’ve been a stable and long-time property owner in Norwood since 1949, and we’re thrilled to be developing another class A office building in this town,” said Thomas Dusel, president and cEo of hobbs Brook management llc.

hobbs Brook management has incor-porated energy efficiency and green building practices in the construction and renovation of its properties for the last three decades.

This approach to sustainability substantially reduces and eliminates negative environ-mental impacts, and, as an added benefit, green operations and management reduce operating costs, enhance building market-ability, increase workers’ productivity, and reduce potential liability resulting from in-door air quality problems.

The new building will be designed, constructed, and operated as a high-perfor-mance green building. planned features in-clude: 22% optimized energy performance; high performance hVAc equipment; 40% water use reduction; drought resistant plant materials, indigenous to the region, that mini-mize the need for irrigation water; bioswale and rain gardens that remove silt and pollu-tion from surface water runoff prior to releas-ing into the storm water system; a high reflec-tion roof to reduce heat islands and to reduce building energy; solar shading on exterior window system to cut down on heat gain in the building; and implementation of recycled and regional building product materials.

Continued from page 6modular walls for Sustainability and Enhanced Acoustical privacy

There is a common misconception that demountable and movable walls do not provide the same acoustical perfor-mance as closed offices and divided rooms. If teams utilize the appropriate installation techniques of “blocking” and “covering up,” the final design will help mitigate any acoustical privacy concerns.

The first acoustical design strategy – block – means increasing the acoustical effectiveness of the barrier between neigh-boring spaces. In traditional wall construc-tion, materials form a continuous barrier that runs from the floor to the ceiling. With floor-to-ceiling modular wall constructions, it remains important to use panels that ef-fectively block sound and seal well to each other for reducing sound transmission that might otherwise pass between the panels. It is important to use installation contractors who understand how these seals work and implement them properly during the instal-lation.

Introducing a pleasant and innocu-ous background is a good instance of the other design strategy - cover-up. Examples include sound-masking systems or speech-privacy systems, which can provide an unobtrusive background noise that covers up the offending noise. Newer privacy sys-tems can even be installed through a ceiling tile by facility personnel. when modular walls are used with a system that provides elevated levels of background sound, the acoustical privacy provided by modular wall products can be comparable to tradi-

tional basic stud wall construction.Shire pharmaceuticals constructed a

new traditional office space in its labora-tory facility in 2007. As the project neared completion, changes to the design required demolition and new mechanical and elec-trical systems. This experience caused its facility managers to look at new ways of providing organizational changes without the impact on operations.

Shire did three things that serve as a blueprint for their anticipated interior office fit-out projects: They studied the probable design scenarios that might occur in the fu-ture, looked at the impact on the delivery of utilities and where fixed elements must be located, and worked with the wall panel

manufacturer haworth to customize the product choices and installation details within the tradi-tional construction pro-cess. The modular wall product – lifeSpAcE ERA specified by Inte-grated Interiors – was then tailored to provide the most efficient utility delivery system, maxi-mize future flexibility, and provide appropriate levels of sound privacy for the offices. Shire is currently constructing a new combination office and laboratory building that includes significant

movable walls based on the successful ex-perience gained from past projects. Acen-tech consulted with Shire and the archi-tects, KlingStubbins, on noise control and sound absorption techniques.

modular walls can maximize acous-tical performance with exceptional sustain-ability while providing greater organiza-tional adaptability in the long-term.

David Atwood is general manager of Integrated Interiors, Jeff Fullerton, INCE Bd. Cert., LEED AP, is the director of ar-chitectural acoustics at Acentech Inc., and Katelyn Filippetti is the lead supervisor of facilities planning and design for Shire Hu-man Genetics Therapies (HGT), Inc.

Modular wall systems offer the ability to significantly alter the layout of spaces.

The BRA board approved the de-velopment of a 16-unit condominium building at 881-883 East Second Street, between o and p Streets, an area that has recently seen the addition of similarly styled housing.

The new four-story wood frame residential building will activate an un-used South Boston parcel with housing for families and young professionals. The new units will be two bedrooms, 14 of which will be market rate and two of which will be affordable. The project plan includes 34 underground parking spaces, trash storage, and an elevator.

The project is being developed by 881 city point, llc, with architect Ar-thur choo and company and legal coun-sel mark murphy.

The developer plans to break ground before the end of the year with an estimated construction time of one year.

most significant regional clusters of any industry in the world. But we’re not done yet—we at massBio join our colleagues in industry, government, and academia in a

quest to continue our stellar growth. how can it be done? with a renewed focus on being the best place in the world for inno-vation, research, and development.

Today, massa-chusetts has over 500 biotech and pharma companies, 18 mil-lion sf of commercial

laboratory space, and close to 50,000 work-ers in the field. More than 27,000 of those workers are in biotechnology research and development, the highest number of em-ployees so classified in any state. Massa-chusetts is at the center of the region with the greatest biologics manufacturing ca-pacity in the world, with 300,000 liters of cell culture manufacturing capacity. mas-sachusetts-headquartered drug develop-ment companies have 900 investigational drugs in the development pipeline, and 140 medicines have been created in massachu-setts that now serve a patient population of 160 million in the US alone. life sciences products account for 28% of all massachu-setts exports, some $7.5 billion in value.

The role of the commercial develop-

ment community is crucial. After a very brief respite, new laboratory construction is accelerating in massachusetts. As Shire hgT completes its $400 million campus in lexington, mass., Alexandria Real Estate Equities will begin construction of a 1.7 million sf building at Kendall Square in cambridge. and the fallon company will continue its constriction of a 1.1 million sf lab and office building at Boston’s Fan pier, where Vertex pharmaceuticals will be housed.

our challenge going forward is also our great opportunity. for the massachu-setts biopharma industry to compete glob-ally, it must lead. As a destination for com-panies, massachusetts doesn’t always win based on cost. It wins new opportunities because it has incredibly talented people and a broad and deep ecosystem that sup-ports moving cutting edge science forward. Quite simply, we are leading the next revo-lution in the biopharma industry.

In order to ensure we are prepared for continued growth, massBio promotes the BioReady communities campaign. Today, there are 68 BioReady rated com-munities with buildings and land sites available for development as laboratory or manufacturing facilities. many of these sites are platinum rated, meaning they are either existing laboratory and manufactur-ing spaces in move-in condition or land sites that are prepermitted for the industry, requiring only building permits to proceed with construction. Through the BioReady campaign, we can identify buildings and land sites across the state, to meet a range of price points.

we are also committed to working with our partners in government to support the $1 billion life Sciences Initiative, leg-islation enacted in 2008 to help to acceler-ate growth in the sector with funding for critical infrastructure projects, financing for early stage companies, and tax-based incentives for companies of all sizes.

collaboration is critical to our suc-cess. No place in the world has the same “collision factor” that massachusetts has. In cambridge’s Kendall Square at lunch, mIT professors and venture capitalists bump into researchers from companies like sanofi, Biogen Idec, Microsoft, Novar-tis, and google. There are 70 biotechnol-ogy companies within a 20 minute walk. Beyond this research core, the distances between laboratories and manufactur-ing plants are measured in minutes, not in hours or days. worcester, the dynamic “second center” of the industry in massa-

chusetts, is just an hour from Boston.Being able to maximize these “col-

lisions” is important for any innovative cluster and a fundamental one in helping us to lead.

The milken Institute’s Technology and Science Index ranks massachusetts first in the nation. It is a place we intend to remain. But, with growing global competi-tion in what has been a distinctly American industry, we will not rest on our laurels. In the global marketplace, we must com-pete by leading the way. The massachu-setts model is one based on collaboration between industry, nonprofit research, and government in areas including workforce development, technology transfer, busi-ness financing, infrastructure, and site as-sembly. There are people waiting for cures. There is no time to lose.

by William S. Harris

over the past half-century, we have witnessed tremendous break-throughs and innovations in the

life Sciences which have pushed research and development efforts to become in-creasingly collaborative. Since the discov-ery of DNA’s structure, which gave way to the revolutionary fields of molecular biol-ogy and then genomics, researchers have discovered that the only possible way to compile, analyze, and synthesize the sheer volume of data uncovered about the make-up of genes and their relationships to dis-ease is to collaborate and network not only within a lab, but also between institutions.

This more “open-source” approach in science, coinciding with the emergence of the world wide web and social media, has combined with advances in technol-ogy to bring us to the precipice of a new and more complex level of collabora-tion – the convergence of biology with physical sciences and engineering. This convergence is seen across the spectrum of research, in computer sciences, music, business, and more.

we see the effect of this convergence in the partnerships and strategic alliances that life Sciences companies and institu-tions have formed. Not only do these col-

laborations promote innovation by bringing together varied disciplines and providing new shared resources, they help mitigate the increases in cost and risk associated with the rising complexities of current R&D activities. As a result of this partner-ing approach, we have seen life Science clusters pop up around universities, allow-ing organizations to take advantage of the benefits provided by co-location. One of the strongest examples of this phenomenon is the biotech corridor in cambridge, home to many of the world’s leading universities, corporations and research institutions.

Inside each organization, this trend toward collaboration has impacted the way research is conducted, as compa-nies build more dynamic business models which support:

• Interdisciplinary research teams• Collaborative working method-

ologies• Evolving technologies• Attracting and retaining talent• Investing more in research and less

in capital expenditures. • Integrating sustainability to reduce

the consumption of resources and cost of facility changes.

The impact of these drivers on the architecture of the laboratory is wide-

spread and embraces not only bench and technical support spaces, but also offices, meetings rooms, common spaces – virtu-ally every aspect of the R&D environment. Examples include:

creation of spaces and places for sharing ideas, information, and perspec-tives:

• Distribution of social/meeting spac-es within and between research spaces

• Introduction of collaborative work-spaces inside the lab and informal collab-orative areas outside the lab

• Establishment of circulation strate-gies that foster interactions

• Integration of technologies to fa-cilitate communication Transparency, daylighting and amenities:

• Creation of open layouts that per-mit colleagues to see one another and com-municate easily

• Utilization of glass to make the re-search, people, equipment and processes visible

• Introduction of interior glass to bring views and daylight to work areas

• Inclusion of amenities to promote a healthy state of mind and a home for cre-ative thinking

Adaptability:• Design of layouts that can accom-

modate change without significant invest-ment or down time

• Selection of casework that allows for changes in equipment and working methodologies

• “Universal” distribution of utilities for easy connection to equipment in alter-native locations

Efficiency:• Consolidation and centralization of

equipment, service, and rooms As we create R&D environments

that support new business drivers, it is clear that laboratory design (and research protocols) will not return to the “old days” of secret and segregated scientific silos. The principles of adaptability and collabo-ration, of openness and community, and of technology and change must be core plan-ning elements.

Altogether, what we are creating now are research “communities” in the fullest sense of the word – where people, places and technologies merge; and the distinc-tions between where work is conducted – lab, office, or café – are blurred. This is the future of lab design.

by Mark ReedIn our practice, we’ve seen a healthy

demand for test-fitting laboratory designs into new and existing buildings. In this article, we will describe how our use of BIm allows for powerful graphics and ex-tractable information to benefit landlords,

tenants, institutions, and builders alike in unexpected and ex-citing ways.

Test-fits are an important part of the early phases of proj-ects and can be used to jump-start stalled deals or to enable reuse of “obsolete” or problematic facili-ties. As designers, we

enjoy the process of envisioning clear and rational layouts in difficult geometries and are thrilled when our work allows the cli-ents we serve to move forward with confi-dence and enthusiasm.

Let us first distinguish between tra-ditional test-fits and our new approach that takes full advantage of BIM, specifi-cally Revit software. with traditional 2D CAD software, design firms have limited ability to modify layouts and to extract information accurately and swiftly. These limitations stem primarily from the rela-tive brittleness of the process, which is polyline-based for color and area. with this method, polylines need to be labori-ously traced around room geometries and

rechecked as layouts change. The software does not allow for the area information created by polylines to be easily extracted and analyzed. This may explain the real and perceived groans that many clients hear from ar-chitects when they ask for quick turnaround testfits!

we’ve recognized, through experience, that what clients really want is the abil-ity to quickly analyze and make changes to test fits. They may need to see graphically and nu-merically the impact of layout revisions to critical ratios (such as lab to office, wet to dry, net to gross, department to division, or tenant to landlord). often they don’t have time to wait for their architects to retrace polylines and relayer their CAD files.

Because of this demand for speed, agility, and accuracy, we’ve fully em-braced BIm and Revit as our tool of choice for test-fits. As my partner Stephanie Gold-berg says, “A powerful test-fit begins with a strong BIm template. we’ve structured ours to anticipate the various needs and re-

quests of our clients and set it up so we can meet their demands with seemingly little effort or need for advance notice.” Instead of polylines, Revit works with room defini-tions with limitless capacity to be assigned attributes that can be graphically depicted with color legends in plan view.

Since Revit is fundamentally a data-base as opposed to vector-based software, the work it contains is already in schedule format, and can easily be exported to Excel templates for further analysis. one of the early tasks we took on when we opened our firm was to create a BOMA spreadsheet template with a corresponding BIm sched-ule in Revit that allows for seamless transi-tion of test-fit data into Excel for the com-plex calculations that go into determining rentable area in multi-tenant buildings.

while our clients have been pleased by the power of this approach, they see significant added benefits from the three dimensional features of a Revit model. The test-fit can be flipped up, put into perspec-tive, and rendered in a matter of seconds and minutes. We’ve seen our test-fits used to seal deals between tenants and land-lords, to convince reluctant faculties into moving into swing space, to help builders win design-build commissions, and to vali-date programmatic area requirements in planning and programming projects. You should expect all of this and more out of the next test-fit you commission.

International Society of pharmaceutical Engineers (ISpE) recently held its 20th annual product Show at gillette Stadium on october 5, 2011, where about 2,000 in-dustry professionals gathered for this one day event.

This year, the ISpE Boston product Show offered nine broad based educational sessions while about 300 exhibitors of-fered cutting edge products and services to

industry professionals. Attendees received a special treat

this year, as Jonathan Kraft, president and cEo of the New England patriots, joined the festivities as our keynote speaker. he regaled us with personal insights and sto-ries on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the true genius of Bill Belichick to his father’s critically important contribu-tions to the recently negotiated collective bargaining agreement between football owners and players. he even spoke of the

possibility of a life sciences park near gil-lette Stadium in the future. Andre walker (chair of ISpE’s International Board of Di-rectors) was presented with the hank moes lifetime Achievement Award for his con-tributions to ISpE.

The Boston chapter of ISpE will be busy this fall with educational programs held on Tuesday, November 15 and Thurs-day, December 15. The November pro-gram will focus on pharmacogenomics, which outlines commingling drug develop-

ment in the context of a person’s individual genetic makeup to yield a more effective, personalized approach to patient care.

woods hole, mA - The marine Bio-logical laboratory (mBl) in woods hole needed a cutting-edge, fully professional, year-round facility that would accommo-date the growth of its educational programs, strengthen its competitive position, and ad-vance its research and education mission. Tsoi/Kobus & Associates (TK&A), the Cambridge-based firm with deep experience in the laboratory science and educational sectors and a strong commitment to green design practices, had developed a 10-year master plan for the MBL. The firm recom-mended renovating the loeb lab, a dated, 66,000sf laboratory originally designed for seasonal use only.

It was essential to both the client and the design team that the new building be as sustainable as possible. The budget for the project was primarily directed toward the introduction of state-of-the-art classroom and lab spaces supporting new technologies for seven key programs (embryology, neu-ral systems and behavior, biology of para-sitism, frontiers in reproduction, microbial diversity, physiology, and neurobiology), therefore low-cost, high-impact approaches needed to be identified.

The design team worked closely with the client to develop a wide-ranging menu of solutions, which resulted in the loeb lab receiving LEED gold certification from the US green Building council. Examples in-clude:

• A white-roof, efficient-light-ing design, improved wall insulation, an

engine driven chiller, and heat recovery for gas-fired chillers, boilers, and water heaters, producing a building that uses 37% less en-ergy, compared to similar examples.

• Use of a Dolphin Water Treatment System in the building’s cooling towers, avoiding annual discharge of 196 pounds of chlorine gas and 174,000 gallons of blow down water containing phosphate, zinc, and chlorine. The system saves more than 380,000 gallons of water per year. By also replacing fixtures with waterless urinals, dual flush toilets, and low flow faucets, wa-ter use at the site is reduced almost 33%.

• Interior lighting is 22% better than code, thanks to measures including occu-pancy sensors with automatic shutoff and efficient exit signs.

• There are no ozone-depleting cfc-based refrigerants in the hVAc sys-tem.

• Low-emitting materials were used wherever possible, including adhesives, sealants, paints, and carpets.

• Recycled materials make up almost 24% of the project whole. more than 50% of the wood used is responsibly sourced and FSC certified.

• Ninety-five percent of the build-ing’s structural frame and exterior envelope was reused.

• No new parking was added, and three of the existing 47 spaces are desig-nated as reserved for fuel-efficient vehicles. An adjacent building offers showers for pa-trons who choose to bike to the site.

• Finally, Shawmut Design and construction recycled almost 100% of de-molition and construction waste and also successfully managed the project’s con-struction Indoor Air Quality plan.

Richard cutler, mBl’s director of fa-cilities, services, and projects, recently told TK&A sustain-ability practice leader Blake Jackson, “Before the renova-tion, loeb was like an old, worn-out pair of shoes we kept wearing because it was the only pair we had. Now, we have a building that not only is performing exactly as we designed it to but also is enhancing mBl’s image as a state-of-the-art institution and making a positive impact on our work—and our world.”

New london, cT - connecticut col-lege (cc) recently announced an addi-tion and renovations to the science center at New london hall, a center for the life sciences, on its campus in New london that will increase the size of the building to 43,913sf. focused on supporting the core priorities of the college, this facility will foster the interdisciplinary teaching and collaborative research that are a hallmark of connecticut college’s liberal arts edu-cation.

KBE Building corp. is the construction manager on the project, and the designer is payette.

The new science facility will house biology, botany, and computer science de-partments with a modernized greenhouse; an electron microscopy suite; flexible teaching and research laboratories; and classrooms, seminar, and social spaces to enhance collaboration and interdepartmen-tal communication. In addition, all project work is being performed according to the college’s green building policy with a goal of achieving LEED Silver certification.

“connecticut college has long been an innovator in its collaborative approach to science education and is now positioned to strengthen an already exemplary under-graduate science program,” said Dean of the faculty Roger Brooks, the college’s project leader. “As the college celebrates its centennial year, payette has struck just the right chord between historical integrity and modern design to create a facility that

the entire college community can enjoy well into the next century.”

Built in 1914, New london hall was the first campus building at Connecti-cut college, founded in 1911. originally constructed with granite quarried near the site, the four-story collegiate gothic-style building has served as a center for science education for nearly 100 years. payette’s design for the addition and renovation provides an opportunity to revitalize the historical features of the building, such as clerestory windows and open ceilings, while transforming the facility into a mod-ern college science building.

once renovated and expanded, New london hall will join the adjacent f.w. olin

Science center, hale laboratory and fan-ning hall to shape an exterior space known as centennial plaza, the outdoor focus of the college’s science hub. The proportions and form of the New london hall addition respectfully emulate the existing historical building, while the exterior materials of the terracotta tiles, louvers, and curtain wall reflect a forward-looking spirit.

The addition features a glazed con-nector, known as the “link,” which joins the existing granite building with the terra cotta portion of the addition and provides a wel-coming pass-through space that encourages interaction among the campus community.

construction began in may and is expected to be complete in the fall of 2012.

Abbott-Boyle Photographers Celebrates Forty Years of ProgressArlington, MA - Richard Boyle founded

Abbott-Boyle Photographers (ABP) in 1971 upon the retirement of Walter Ab-bott, a career photographer who specialized in construction and marine photography. Early index cards listing individual jobs along with current computer records show that ABP has photographed approximately 20,000 construction projects over a 40-year history. During the late 1990’s ABP has had 150 or more projects on its sched-ule at any one time. ABP has a 100% safety record with no lost time in 40 years.

sional color laboratory in a traditional man-ner to provide the highest possible quality.”The backbone of ABP’s work is photo-graphing the progress of construction span-ning pre-construction to completion. The photographs are used to record progress and are required by specification on many projects when the requisition for payment is submitted.A licensed construction supervisor, Boyle is a qualified expert witness for mediation, including county, state and federal courts. Five years after an injury occurred on a job, ABP was asked to produce photographs tak-en on a particular date on the northwest el-evation. One of those photos showed planks laid to provide a way to carry wheel bar-rows full of gravel over a trench. The photo clearly showed the planks were inadequate for the job, and judgement was rendered for the worker.In another instance during construction at South Station the contractor called in Boyle to take light meter readings at night to prove that the artificial light was adequate for the workers. With this documentation the con-tractor was able to make his case.“Each project is different. They all have unique requirements.” Boyle said. Aerial photography provides a perspective of the project not available from ground level, such as documenting overall site conditions and progress and aiding in site material and movement locations. ABP uses both fixed wing and helicopter for aerial photographs. ABP videos are well suited for pre-con-struction surveys and sites covering large areas. Documenting of special conditions and the various stages of the project makes possible a graphic audio-visual presentation.David Grophear was an associate professor of film making at Keene State College and was an accomplished photographer and film maker even before joining the ABP team. Another important element includes the audio video of training sessions when new facility systems are installed. The video provides guidance for future facility en-gineers on how the systems work and are intended to be operated.

ABP also qualifies as a photographer for HAER (Historical American Engineering Record) and HABS (Historical Amercian Bulding Survey). “Historical engineering records is precision work,” Boyle noted. “Some jobs I recall involved the documen-tation of historic railroad bridges, where the photographs had to be taken from a floating barge.“We photographed the lift mechanisms, gears and equipment that drive them.” Re-cently ABP worked with ET&L Corp for a historic wooden covered bridge. “We doc-umented the methods of construction, the beams, joists, roofing systems, and suspen-sion systems. The bridge was put together with wooden pegs, hand forged nuts, bolts and washers. The photographs guided workers so the bridge could be put together exactly as it was in its original form.” The bridge has been in constant use since the early 1900’s.In another anecdote Boyle talked about his walks in waders carrying a video camera through live sewers built over 150 years ago

Today, Richard Boyle continues to provide the industry with aerial, video and still photography touting Abbott-Boyle Pho-tographers as New England’s oldest and largest construction photographers.“The changes in the construction industry over the years have been amazing,” Boyle said, “New and advancing methods equip-ment, and technology have made signifi-cant changes in the way we build buildings. The advances in the world of photography are just as amazing. When we started, it was all black and white sheet film, then roll film and color photography, and now digital imaging.“But the basic techniques of construction photography are still the same, where as the equipment and technology has changed. All of the prints are still made by a profes-

to document where they were in excellent condition, and where restoration was needed. “Most of the tunnels were in their original condition, and others had telephone poles sticking through, but it was clear that were still in serviceable condition. The brick masons, who did this work with little or no mortar, can be commended for supe-rior craftsmanship and techniques of fancy brickwork that have stood the test of time.”Some recent and current projects include various projects for the MBTA; Johnson & Wales; Paul Revere School; Boston PoliceStation, District 2; Astra-Zeneca; For-rester Research World HQ at Discovery Park, Cambridge; Fidelity’s Smithfield, R.I. campus; various projects for Harvard University, airport construction and re-construction projects; VA Dialysis Center, Hartford, Conn. and the URI College of Pharmacy.With hundreds of thousands of photos to choose from, we can only share a few here to chronicle some of the notable projects of Abbott-Boyle Photographers’ 40 years.

Boston - ARc/Architectural Re-sources cambridge announced that the 20,000sf first phase of a comprehensive renovation plan for a total of 60,000sf of clinic, office, and support space was com-pleted for Tufts University School of Den-tal medicine. The renovation plan spans three floors at its health sciences campus in Boston’s chinatown and has reached the milestone of phase 1 completion in time for fall semester.

In 2009, ARC completed a five-story, 105,000sf vertical addition to the existing 10-story building for Tufts School of Den-tal medicine at one Kneeland Street, in one of Boston’s most densely populated neighborhoods. last year, the Vertical Ex-pansion received LEED Silver certification from the US green Building council, and design awards from the Boston Society of

Architects, the New England chapter of International Interior Design Association, and the Boston chapter of the International facilities management Association.

following a master plan that was developed concurrently with the award-winning Vertical Expansion project, ARc implemented the comprehensive renova-tion plan on the second, third, and fourth floors of the Dental School.

The redesign and renovation of the lower floors improves circulation, sepa-rates public patient and private staff/student spaces, and provides administrative and technical support space directly related to each student practice group. clinics man-aged at Tufts School of Dental medicine provide care to more than 18,000 individu-als each year, including those with special needs.

Burlington, mA - Erland construc-tion recently completed the fifth phase of dormitory improvements at Westfield State University for the mass. State college Building Authority. Since 2007, Erland and architect prellwitz chilinski Associates (pcA, Inc) of cambridge have performed a series of renovations to five dormitories at wSU, revitalizing housing on campus.

For this fifth “summer slammer” project, Erland replaced a total of 233 win-dows and windows sills at lammers hall. Because the Erland/pcA team has been working continuously for wSU over the past five summers, the team was able to get

an early start on this project – allowing the necessary time to order windows.

This early release ensured that the windows could be tested, delivered, and installed with enough time for Erland to finish the project before students returned to campus at the end of August.

The four previous summer slammers encompassed extensive renovations and upgrades to the Scanlon hall and courtney hall residences and Dickinson commons, (an extension of Dickinson hall that serves as a student activities center and lounge area).

cincinniti, oh - Bishop fenwick place, Xavier University’s new residential and dining complex, was dedicated last month in a ceremony that celebrated the trans-formational residence and dining complex on the cincinnati campus designed by architects Shepley Bulfinch of Boston.

fenwick place is home to 535 sophomores with suite-style living in four connected wings that rise above a green terrace. The terrace also serves as the roof of hoff Dining com-mons, the university’s new central dining facility. The new commons seats up to 700 and a retail component with seating that spills onto the patio outside. The 245,000sf facility – the second-largest building on Xavier’s campus – is sited to infuse the ac-ademic campus precinct with a new social hub, its green apron providing a continu-ation of the campus’ signature park-like landscape.

The complex is designed to function on a series of scales, providing campus-wide dining while meeting Xavier’s need for a significant increase in on-campus student housing with a series of smaller communities within fenwick place’s four wings.

This sense of residential neighbor-hood is reinforced with a common area in each six-eight student suite and a lounge on the floor of each wing and a double-height signature space on the top floor. The glass-walled lounges are places to “see and be seen,” conveying a sense of vitality to the wider campus.

In addition to the multi-layer green roof system above the dining commons, the project’s sustainable features include low-flow plumbing fixtures, occupancy sensors for lighting. Xavier anticipates putting the utilities monitors installed in each wing to use for future “how low can you go” com-petitions among residents.

Shepley Bulfinch was the design ar-chitect for the project in association with mSA Architects of cincinnati.

lexington, mA - As one of the world’s leading specialty biopharmaceuti-cal companies, Shire human ge-

netic Therapies (hgT) is fully focused on a single purpose: to enable people with life-altering conditions to lead better lives. In support of this mission Shire hgT has planned, designed, and constructed a state-of-the-art campus located at the lexington Technology park. Its latest project, Building 200, includes process development research laboratories and administrative space and

provides an environment focused on inte-grated research, collaboration and motivat-ing its intellectual capital.

groundbreaking for B200 com-menced in march 2010 with occupancy tak-ing place in october 2011. The core team includes the design team of KlingStubbins and Vanderweil Engineers and construction partner lend lease (formerly Bovis lend lease).

An extremely experienced team, espe-cially within the life Science market began planning and executing this project utilizing a variety of new software tools, methodolo-gies and commercial contracting methods not seen on past projects of this nature.

chad wisler, pE, lEED Ap, principal at Vanderweil Engineers noted that “The Shire B200 project stands out because of the investment Shire is placing in the lo-

cal region through the lexington Technol-ogy Park site and this project specifically (B200). The building was approached to complement and build on the existing site building presence (i.e. B300 and B400) both physically, but even more importantly from the perspective of the soon-to-be building occupants in B200 and the goal to enhance their work place environment.”

william f. held II, Senior Vice presi-dent of lend lease, said “Building off the momentum of project Atlas (B400,a prior project on Shire’s campus) and the suc-cesses we experienced expediting this major biologics manufacturing facility utilizing virtual construction coordination, we ex-ecuted this project utilizing a sophisticated set of BIm tools and an integrated project delivery methodology.”

held said, “The heart of Shire’s cor-

porate branding and philosophy is to be as brave as the people it serves. This philoso-phy was inherent in the approach to execute Building 200 and the leadership provided in taking this “leap of faith” and choosing mid-stream during the design process to move to an integrated delivery methodology.”

The greatest challenge, according to wisler, was the project execution strategy shift from a traditional design-bid-build to ‘an integrated design assist’ in the middle of the design phase of the project. Since design assist is relatively new in the indus-try, there were a variety of challenges on all sides during the transition. The overall team - (owner, architect/engineer, cm, con-tractors) demonstrated patience and mutual respect with open discussion on various challenges which in turn lead to a highly ef-ficient construction and turnover phase.

held added, “The challenge was to maintain discipline and stay true to our approach to this integrated delivery meth-odology and to properly re-allocate the investment of resources required to build the project virtually.” This early planning, design and coordination allowed for the construction process to reap the benefits of improved safety, quality and prefabricaton opportunities while Shire was delivered a more efficient product - with the benefit of efficiency savings being reinvested into the facility.”

Roy pedersen AIA, principal at Kling-Stubbins, said “Shire looked to this project as an opportunity to evolve its organizational

culture by locating staff out of conventional offices located alongside the perimeter win-dows. furthermore, the location of research tech write-up space and the labs was criti-cal to their efficient work. As we developed these layouts the staff acceptance of these changes challenged the design team to get their “buy in” to new ways of doing their work. A residual benefit of these new lay-outs was a more sustainable approach offer-ing daylight to all users. Now that they are in the building they are enjoying this light and adapting to the new arrangement.”

“There is nothing collaborative about writing lump sum contracts laden with holes and undefined scope yet insisting that the contractor and subcontractor “owns it” we believe it (IpD) is the right thing for the job” says David forney, Director of capital projects for Shire human genetic Therapies (hgT).

“In the simplest of terms - it’s about taking waste out of the design and con-struction process and eliminating unnec-essary efforts”, said held. “we attempt to eliminate any potential disconnect between stakeholders and streamline the deliverables between engineering, coordination, fabrica-tion and construction.” he goes on to say, “while “collaboration” has become an in-dustry commodity term widely associated with this type of delivery method, our team speaks more often about and emphasizes ‘trust’ and ‘accountability.’ Since key stake-holders and trade partners’ performance may affect our client’s commitments to their business partners it is critical that our behaviors and hence the project culture transforms – whereby team members from many organizations remain accountable to each other and understand that we are all responsible for one another’s performance and commitments.

A fully coordinated virtual model was “dropped” in october 2010 – releasing fabri-cation grade drawings and accurate quantity take-offs for pre-fabrication and bulk pro-curement. The model represented a shared effort between the owner, architectural and engineering disciplines, trade partners and construction team.

This period of integration lasted sev-

eral months and allowed the cm team and A/E disciplines to focus on coordination de-tails, vendor submittals, material and equip-ment selections, client user group reviews, operational and maintenance issues and es-tablished the baseline for interactive sched-uling sessions.

wisler explained that energy and wa-ter conservation were key for the project that in turn resulted in a highly successful lEED tracking assessment for the project. Various strategies were employed - including pre-concept level building massing studies with key variables that were analyzed (energy, solar gain, glare, daylighting, and shadow influence on the adjacent building B300).

once the building massing and en-velope were optimized, the associate en-gineering infrastructure was integrated to fulfill the space’s programmatic require-ments - these included active chilled beams, heat shift chillers, high efficiency chillers & cooling towers, daylight harvesting, as well as low pressure air handling and distribution design.

The energy and water utilized is then ‘kept within the building’ through enthalpy heat recovery wheels and water capture and recovery/reuse systems. Strategies which don’t affect a lEED scorecard but have a

significant impact on real-world energy use were also a strong focus, early in the engineering programming sessions, includ-ing optimizing the minimum laboratory air change rates and design space temperature and humidification criteria and their accept-able ranges.

he also noted that the design team utilized Revit as the design platform and Navisworks for enhanced visualization, virtual punchs, and clash detection. The majority of the contractors utilized Autocad 3D with customized trade-specific plug-ins which were then coordinated and clash-de-tected within Navisworks.

The benefits for this project were that it helped ‘align’ the project team to focus on the digital model and its completeness

and achieve agreement on the spaces and their associated system before construc-tion to minimize changes during construc-tion. Also, with the BIm model complete, opportunities to optimize the design were achieved by obtaining contractor feedback/perspective which in turn allowed for great-er simplification and prefabrication of spool pieces, which in turn reduced the amount of waste materials on the site.

The credit for the success of Building 200 would not be possible without the lead-ership and BRAVE culture cultivated by the owner, Shire hgT and reinforced amongst its external business partners. This provided the ultimate foundation for the team to re-main flexible and agile and empower one another and trust in each partner’s abili-ties.”

“At Shire we have the planning flex-ibility and modularity of an informed design and client,” said pedersen. “we have an ex-tremely efficient layout that maximizes the use of space and systems that affords 10’ tall work space throughout and daylight filled lab and office spaces. What will stand out to anyone who gets to work in this building will be the connection that will share with each other and their campus setting.”

pedersen continued, “we had a site and a client committed to sustainable con-cepts. These two key components make achieving a rated project much easier. Shire uses community services such as public transportation and shuttles to reduce the need for everyone to drive to the site. Build amenities such as bike parking and showers fit the Shire program. Site water manage-ment and conservation was supported in the early design approach and allowed for the implementation of parking, plantings and utilities in a sustainable manner.

Springfield, MA - The new Put-man Technical Vocational high School in Springfield will replace the current 73-year-old facility with a state-of-the-art facility that has been designed to meet the massachusetts collaborative for high per-formance Schools (mA chpS) standards.

mA chpS is a program that is active-ly advancing the design and construction of schools known as “high performance, green schools” that reduce the use of en-ergy, water, and other materials while low-ering financial burden of building schools.

construction has begun on the new school, which is 315,000sf and will accom-modate 1,400 students from grades 9-12. here they will be able to choose from 22 vocational programs including automotive repair, health, medical technology, and ro-botics just to name a few.

The school will take advantage of energy-saving mechanical systems, re-duced water consumption, improved in-door air quality, and natural light. The total construction cost for the school is $87.4 million, about $27 million less than origi-nally estimated because of the current eco-nomic climate, according to Robert Del Vento, Jr. of coreslab Structures, Inc.

The school’s exterior consists of 37-ft. tall multistory architectural insulated precast panels. Del Vento explains that the architectural insulated precast panels were chosen for their “highly architectural fea-tures, shapes, insulating properties, and speed in schedule installation benefits.”

These panels have superior insulat-

ing properties that save money on energy costs when heating or cooling the building. They provide a reflective acoustic surface, dampening sound from surrounding traf-fic. Insulated panels eliminate mold issues on two levels: 1) it protects the insulation, which is sandwiched between two layers of concrete, and 2) precast concrete pro-vides no food source for mold or bacterial growth.

The panels are designed to include the exterior and interior electrical boxes and conduit, which are cast right into each panel, eliminating additional interior fur-ring and materials. The interior side of the panels require no additional work; once installed, the smooth finish is ready to be painted. The exterior walls of the panels are open to imagination, with multiple finish and color choices available; in this case, accents include different shapes and textures, making the exterior visually invit-ing.

The architectural insulated precast panels are being produced at the core-slab Structures, Inc. facility in Thomas-ton, conn., only 52 miles from the school. with precast panels, site preparation can be started while the panels are being produced. once the site is ready the panels take the short ride to the school and are erected. one 18,600sf section was erected in only

seven days. The faster the building envelope is competed the sooner the interior tradesmen can begin.

The benefits of using architec-tural insulated precast panels are in the very essence of the panel, from saving energy to reducing labor of additional trades to keeping students safe from extreme weather conditions and fire. The precast panels in this school naturally meet the mA chpS standard for high performance green schools by creating a thermally, vi-sually, and acoustically comfortable place for students to learn.

Norwell, MA - For the first time in 53 years, cardinal Spellman high School has a new addition to its

campus. Spellman recently unveiled its new fitness center and three new science labs to the public. The grand opening in-cluded a ribbon cutting ceremony and con-tinued with tours of the brand new facility.

Acella construction broke ground on the new 5,000sf fitness center last No-vember and completed the construction in August. It houses state-of-the-art equip-ment and celebrates over 50 years of ath-letic competition with an Athletic hall of Fame. It also provides two new offices for the athletic director and trainer.

The fitness center offers improved access to the school’s gymnasium in ad-dition to more space for ticket sales and concessions.

Acella construction also renovated three new science lab classrooms. The new labs will be used for chemistry, biology, and

anatomy classes. The new classrooms have state-of-the-art technology, and the student desk-lab tables were custom designed for cardinal Spellman high School.

Both new projects were designed by Ai3 Architects of wayland.

wellesley, mA - Sidney J. Spie-gel, vice president of NE moves mort-gage, commercial Division, arranged a $775,000 construction loan for the con-struction of a single family spec house in wellesley. The loan was funded by a ma-jor Regional bank.

westerly, RI - New England con-struction is carrying out extensive renova-tions to the historic weekapaug Inn, located in westerly.

The project will consist of a luxury boutique hotel, having 24 guest rooms, four private residence apartments, and three ad-ditional guest rooms in the “fenway An-nex” The property totals 42,138sf and is located on a scenic eight-acre peninsula on Quonachontaug pond.

New England construction provided preconstruction services in advance of the construction phase, to assist the design team and owners to make key decisions about project cost and its many unique features.

The Inn has many innovative fea-tures, including a geothermal well system that provides all hVAc on the property. Additionally, a private waste treatment fa-cility was designed and permitted to handle

sanitary sewer needs in this environmen-tally sensitive coastal environment.

The owners sought to maintain and restore the rich historical features of this project, using as many modern technolo-gies as possible.

In order to comply with code and in-surance requirements, hurricane proof win-dows were specified. These windows were custom designed and manufactured with a historic look consistent with the original inn. Soapstone “Rumford” fireplaces will be installed in key locations. other fea-tures, such as ornamental wood details and elaborate light fixtures, will bring charac-ter, consistent with the time period of the original historic inn.

The entire project was designed with luxury in mind. Three of the guest rooms, built within the fenway Annex, have pri-vate decks equipped with onzen Japanese soaking tubs. All guest rooms have heated

towel racks in the bathroom, as well as bathroom floors with ra-diant heat for comfort.

The Inn will have many amenities, including a 25-yard lap pool heated from the geo-thermal wells on site. State of the art technologies, such as wifi, will be provided for guests’ convenience. A work-out gym and yoga/pilates room will also be furnished. A full service restaurant and lounge will also be included on the premises, and the facility will be a four season resort.

Bridgewater, mA - opening Day 2011 at Bridgewater State Univer-sity allowed thousands of students

to finally get a glimpse inside the new wing of the $98.7 million science and mathemat-ics center that’s been rising on the west side of campus.

The first phase of the project is com-plete, and the 171,000sf five-story building has been filled with students and faculty holding classes, preparing to do research, or just checking out the new space.

Students and faculty alike were amazed by the building’s new spaces, up-dated equipment, increased labs, auditori-ums, and observatory.

Bridgewater president Dana mohler-faria called the new facility “the crest of a wave” that includes nearly a third of a billion dollars in campus construction over the past decade.

he added that while rave reviews for the new building are nice, the real test goes beyond bricks, mortar, and glass. “Unless it makes a difference in the lives and edu-cation of Bridgewater students,” he said, “It’s meaningless.”

Each floor features labs and class-room meant to provide students with col-laborative learning experiences and fac-ulty-guided research. There are three gIS laboratories, biology labs outfitted with the tools and equipment necessary to grow tissue cultures for experiments, and a $1

million microscope that can examine cells section by section.

Specialized physics classrooms in-clude space for both lectures and lab work side by side. “we were busting out of the old building all over the place,” said Dr.

Edward Deveney, professor of physics. “Now we have the room to do the work we need to do.”

Dr. Arthur goldstein, dean of the college of Science and mathematics, said

research and collaboration are the keys to a top-flight undergraduate education in the sciences today, and these were the pri-orities during the planning process for the new facility.

Construction of the first phase of the Science and mathematics center provided more than 500 full-time jobs. It will be an-other year before the entire project is com-plete, as the old science building is gutted, taken down by the end of october, with construction of the remainder of the facil-ity happening on the same footprint.

on opening Day 2012, the result will be the fully realized new facility that will have 211,300sf of new and dynamic learning space.

A million-dollar greenhouse renova-tion is scheduled for completion in Janu-ary.

construction started in June 2009 and completion date is scheduled for Au-gust, 2012.

general contractor for the project is Barr & Barr, Inc. and the designer is payette and Associates. Special features include a design for LEED Silver certifi-cation, rooftop observatory with 18-foot dome, rain garden, greenhouse, botanical garden, a world of science interactive ex-hibit, a multi-story glass atrium, and a 200-seat auditorium.

and construction of an actual project. They will gain extensive experience working with recycled reclaimed and studies in reusing local building materials. Site and field in-formation will be gathered daily and docu-mented in a daily journal and/or blog with student sketches and photography along with the student’s personal reflection of their experience. In addition, weekly workshops in cultural learning such as Spanish, cooking and local art are also offered. Internet and SKYPE services are provided for students to continue their online course education.

“Even though the actual building of the community center is over a year away, it is now time to buckle down and get seri-ous,” said Drew. “my students have been working on this project for three semesters now and the ideas are piling up - it will be great to see them unleashed.”

“The plan is summer and fall 2012 commercial design students will design for a targeted final site with a specific Program

of Needs (poN),” sums up Drew. The initial design phase of this com-

munity center project began in the summer and fall of 2010 with groups of commercial design students working as a team for a specific site. Until a building/site has been selected, this year’s commercial design stu-dents are currently working modularly.

professor Drew assigned a modular system for poN using a 15 x 7.5 meter rect-angle. In each module the student is required to design, a lobby, library, physical fitness studio, esthetician school, food service area and child care center. These program com-ponents are in addition to last year’s student program design requirements. “which, by the way, for my last year’s students, are still on record,” winks Drew.

winter 2013 interior design internship students will travel to mexico and culmi-nate ideas from previous student work into a single design. construction on the actual center will follow. future interns have the opportunity to work on the project until the community center is complete.


claremont, Nh - North Branch has completed renova-tion and system upgrades of the historic Sugar River mills in claremont.

The Sugar River mills property, which once served as a textile mill in the 1800s, offers 162 units of both afford-able and elderly housing to the residents of Sullivan county.

The historic mill build-ings on the property consist of the grist mill, the Ton-Tine Building, and the m34 Building. Seven six-unit town-house complexes were added in the 1982 conversion of the mill buildings into hous-ing.

Working with design firm Burnell-Johnson Architects of manchester, North Branch performed several renovations and mechanical and electrical system upgrades to the units while they remained occupied

throughout construction. Renovations to the m34 Building in-

cluded the replacement of all windows, a new roof, the replacement of skylights in two six-story atria, thermal envelope and heating control upgrades, and the installa-tion of new forced hot water heating and air distribution systems. The roof renova-tion of this building required North Branch to match its existing historic masonry parapet cap. All townhouses received new windows and energy-efficient lighting fix-tures, upgraded thermal envelopes, as well as new attic insulation and siding. four of the townhouse units received new standing seam roofing.

The heating plant in the grist mill was completely replaced with new high-ef-ficiency condensing boilers and an air han-dling unit. Upgrades to the Ton-Tine Build-ing included insulation of the mechanical pipework and replacement of interior light fixtures.

milford, mA - Barker Steel llc, a provider of concrete reinforcing solutions based in milford, introduced the US to the cobiax voided slab technology in Sep-tember with its first use in the construction of the new miami Art museum (mAm) facility, currently being built in florida in downtown miami’s museum park.

cobiax is a reinforcing concrete system that utilizes 100% recycled plas-

tic material voids incorporated with re-bar and concrete to create voided slabs. This process efficiently eliminates con-crete where it is not required, consid-erably diminishing dead weight while maintaining the flexural strength of the slab. The reduction in concrete allows for overall cost reduction, design flexibility, increased seismic performance, and en-vironmental sustainability.

Barker Steel Introduces cobiaxVoided Slab Technology

36-Credit, cohort-based program includes seven manage-ment courses and five electives that will address critical areas of design for working professionals.

Interdisciplinary studios focus on both environmental and universal design concepts and applications. Advanced technologies in design will incorporate Building InformationModeling (BIM) and Revit a process which goes far beyondswitching to new software, but rather requires a paradigm shift in the design process.

Small classes offered in a hybrid format with a combinationof online and on-campus/studio coursework.

The Master of Science in Management (MSM) for Interior Architecture is a highly customized, compre-hensive, and flexible graduate program that prepares prof-essionals for advanced roles in the interior design industry.

worcester, mA - cutler Associates has completed the repairs and renovations to the mansard and roof structures at histor-ic washburn hall at worcester polytechnic Institute (wpI). The timber-frame building has brick masonry, a slate-clad mansard, and slate roof. The primary components of the project were reroofing, replacement of wood trim and mouldings, masonry repair, and window replacement.

In order to safely execute the proj-ect, the entire building was staged up to the top of the belfry. Because pedestrian and vehicular access needed to be maintained around the building, the staging was en-closed so that all demolition and rework would be completed within the enclosure.

As part of the roofing replacement, existing slate at the roof and the mansard was removed and replaced. All copper and lead copper flashings were replaced. Flat seam copper roofing was installed at dor-mers and corner cupolas

The belfry, which holds wpI’s sym-bolic arm-and-hammer weather vane, was structurally reinforced and the copper roof replaced. Detailed shop drawings were created to allow for the duplication and replacement of the exterior wood trim and moldings at the main building tower.

Select portions of the masonry fa-çade were reconstructed and structurally reinforced. This included the installation of helical anchors that were installed as part of the reconstruction of the corners of

the brick tower from the base of the wall up to the roof level. In order to have the ma-sonry repairs match the existing construc-tion, much of the existing brick was sal-vaged and reused. Because the brick was not of standard brick dimensions, each new brick had to be individually cut to size.

hoffman Architects Inc. was the project architect.

Taunton, mA – when faced with the need to align the exterior image of its property with Intercontinental hotel group’s current holiday Inn brand standards, the holiday Inn in Taunton embarked on an improvement project.

BKA Architects was asked to develop construc-tion documents that incorpo-rated these brand standards and would guide the construction of the needed improvements.

The 153,057sf Inn was built 24 years ago, and as the architect of record, BKA Ar-chitects developed construction documents that reflected the design that ap-plied the concept’s current brand standards to the existing building.

The key elements for refreshing the building’s exterior branding included re-surfacing the exterior insulated finishing

system and adding cornices, horizontal banding, and entry canopies at the entranc-es to the function halls and health club.

To provide an elegant entrance to the property, the drive-thru porte cochere, or portico, at the main entrance was also updated.

An aggressive indoor air quality and waste management program was imple-mented during construction, limiting dust, toxins, and particulates from bonding to permanently installed absorptive materials and to document environmentally respon-sible debris disposal. Additionally, Inter-gen elected to pursue enhanced commis-sioning (a LEED credit) to ensure efficient operation of its energy related systems and ultimately reduce operations and mainte-nance costs.

Dpm provided Intergen with com-prehensive project management oversight, beginning with support throughout the site selection, due diligence, and lease evalu-ation phases to ensure that the new facil-ity would meet its growth and production needs, while exemplifying its sustainabil-ity mission. Also included was the engage-ment of the design and construction teams, along with other specialty consultants, evaluation of cost estimates, and review of all programming, design, and construc-tion documents as well as ff&E and move management services.

Dpm project executive John waitku-nas, along with project manager, liz Dal-ton, and assistant project manager, callie o’Brien, coordinated all activities of the project team to ensure a seamless transition into the new headquarters.

landlord cBRE was represented by leasing agent, Kerry olson hawkins, and Intergen was represented by Brooks mur-phy and Brian morrissey of Jones lang laSalle.

Visnick & Caulfield Associates principal Jeff Seltzer led the design effort in creating Intergen’s high performance space. he worked closely with lEED con-sultants guy compagnone and courtney Borelli of chapman construction/Design to achieve the firm’s ideal of a sustainable, low-impact, green design to fit the Class-A space. The project team was rounded out by Structure Tone Inc.; construction managers wB Engineers|consultants; A/V consultants Smith curl Electronic commu-nication Solutions; Union Office Furniture; The Signworks group and Joyce paulson fine Arts.

“It has been a privilege to work with Intergen again, helping them to create a first-class work environment for their staff while incorporating environmentally re-sponsible design elements,” said Bob Kee-ley, president of Diversified Project Man-agement. Dpm partnered with Intergen and Visnick & Caulfield in 2002 to deliver the first LEED Silver project in the state of massachusetts.

“I wasn’t with Intergen during Dpm’s initial engagement in 2002 but was well aware of the project’s success,” said peter capodilupo, Intergen’s Vp of hu-man resources. “It was without question to bring them on board for a second time and we had no regrets. Their team of profes-sionals listened to our needs and brought us comprehensive research to help us make informed decisions regarding nearly every aspect of the project. we could not have done it without them.”

lawrence, MA - The first residents will soon be moving into the for-mer Southwick clothing mill in

lawrence. Eckman construction of Bed-ford, N.h. is converting the former mill building on Island Street, originally built in 1916, to residential and commercial use. This is the first phase of a mixed-use devel-opment, known as Union crossing. plans ultimately call for 400,000sf of new and

renovated spaces in the mill complex.This project was completed in octo-

ber and contains 60 apartments, a day care, commercial space, and several community spaces. The apartments consist of a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Ten-ants are subject to income restrictions; a lottery process was held in September to choose from the tenant applications re-ceived.

The Eckman team worked with the project owner — law-rence community works, a local nonprofit community develop-ment corporation affiliated with Neighborworks—for over two years on preconstruction ser-vices.

Eckman has completely renovated the five-story building, including new electrical, plumb-ing, and heating systems. histor-ic features of the mill, including the brick façade and the original hardwood floors, remain. Those floors were repaired and fin-ished to a gleam, including the fifth floor, where the wood had been covered with asphalt. In a few areas of the building where the condition of the floors was beyond saving, replacement oak floors were installed.

window replacement as well as masonry repairs on one side of the building was compli-cated by its close proximity to the merrimack River. There is essentially no space between the building and the riv-erbank, so all exterior work on that façade had to be done from swing staging.

An array of solar panels was installed on the roof of the building, which will pro-vide power to the building.

Architect for the project was cold-ham & hartman Architects of Amherst.

Boston - Since 1847, the mari-ners house has been oper-ated by the Boston port &

Seamen’s Aid Society as a respite for seafarers and their families. The large, five-bay brick structure lo-cated in Boston’s historic North End is listed on the National Register of historic places and consists of three full stories plus garret above grade, and an extended rear ell of four full stories.

Recurrent water leaks have plagued the mariners house for nearly a decade, especially during the winter months. Damage included wa-ter stains on ceilings and in dormer window wells, failed drywall joints and paint finishes, and waterlogged drywall that requires frequent repair and replacement.

The professionals at Eagle Res-toration & contracting removed and reinstalled the original slate roof on the front plane of the roof and associ-ated dormers. In keeping with period details, new copper flashing was installed at dormer valleys and roof ridges, as well as new, modified dormer window sill flash-ing aprons.

other aspects of the job involved repairing, prepping, priming, and painting wooden window units and entrance doors on the front elevation, including associated trims and wooden sills. Eagle also replaced 15 windows with new wooden ones and re-paired missing or damaged mortar on the

front elevation. All wooden elements were primed and painted in accordance with the specifications, and the end result fully restored the beauty and authentication of the historic property on Boston’s freedom Trail.

According to george f. Sennott, Jr., president of Eagle Restoration & contract-ing, “It was a privilege to perform this multi-disciplined, historical project with our own forces, to the owner’s complete satisfaction.”

Boston - mayor Thomas m. menino joined members of the The Beal compa-nies and mass Eye and Ear to celebrate the groundbreaking of 800 huntington Avenue at the crossroads of mission hill and the longwood medical Area.

The new development will be oper-ated by mass Eye and Ear and house outpa-tient clinics and surgical facilities.

“mass Eye and Ear’s $75 million facility will create another 125 construc-tion jobs and 70 permanent jobs in this key industry,” said mayor menino. “Boston’s hospitals and medical institutions are the backbone of our economy, and I am excit-ed they are thriving and expanding in our city.”

The Beal companies owns 800 hun-

tington Avenue and will be developing the site. The existing two-story building will be renovated and redeveloped into a three story, 90,000sf complex with a glass façade that will improve the pedestrian experience along huntington Avenue. The new build-ing will be situated at a bend in the road and will be a prominent new addition to the view from Brigham circle.

In addition to mass Eye and Ear’s planned medical uses, the project will have a ground floor optical shop, café, and ap-proximately 150 garaged parking spaces. The building is expected to open in octo-ber 2012.

The project architect is Tsoi/Kobus & Associates, and Suffolk construction is the construction manager.

winchester, mA – J. & m. Brown company, Inc. (JmB) of Jamaica plain, has recently com-pleted the electrical construction of winchester hospital’s cancer care center.

The 40,000sf project en-tailed complete removal and reconstruction of the hospital’s existing second floor. In addi-tion, JmB’s project parameters required demolition and reno-vation of an adjacent, existing 14,000sf two-story structure and electrical construction of the facility. The 12-month phased construction was provided while the exist-ing facility remained fully operational.

J. & m. Brown’s comprehensive scope included installation of the facility’s primary and emergency power systems, new fire alarm system, nurse call system, tel/data installations, and low voltage light-ing control system. In addition, the long-standing NEcA contractor provided instal-lations related to the historic restoration and preservation of an attached three-story historic 4,000sf portion of the building. This included installing a new 1200amp, 480/277volt power service to the facility and a 400amp 480/277volt service to the facility’s existing tenant.

JmB’s tel/data division, Spectrum Integrated Technologies, provided tele-com installations under separate contract, including TV/video installations for the

oncology bay, which features dedicated individual overhead speakers and DVD capabilities.

The winchester cancer care center project, designed by Steffian Bradley Ar-chitects of Boston, is seeking lEED gold Certification from the USGBC (US Green Building council). Electrical and mechan-ical systems were coordinated and installed utilizing a BIm platform via AutocAD Revit.

peabody, mA – The congress com-panies announced that the multi-phased, $17 million renovation of the 102,000sf Bel Air health care center has success-fully entered the third of six phases of con-struction.

Through a custom-tailored and cost effective turnkey leaseback solution, con-gress handled everything from construc-tion, acquisition, and HUD financing, to the architecture, interior design, and en-gineering of the Bel Air project, includ-ing installation of interior furnishings and equipment.

projected for completion in march 2012, the Bel Air health care center reno-

vation will result in a fully furnished and equipped 102,000sf, 185-bed rehabilitation and nursing building to be leased by owner milwaukee health care properties I llc to the nursing home operator. The Bel Air health care center renovations were de-signed by Brommer Architects.

phase 1 of the renovation was com-pleted at the end of April 2011. The build-ing’s east wing was converted into 24 private rooms, and the lower level of the facility’s three-story tower was renovated with 16 new double patient rooms, a new lobby area, and a kitchen and laundry fa-cilities upgrade. During this first phase, the building received a primary electrical up-

grade and the installation of a new hVAc system, fire protection and alarm systems, nurse call systems, ccTV security sys-tems, generator, telephone, cATV systems, wireless Internet, and flat screen TVs.

In addition to the phase 1 interior work, all exterior renovations were com-pleted, including minor roofing repairs, the installation of new windows, new roof deck patio, siding, exterior doors, a new ambulance entrance, and a porte cochere. The entire facility parking lot and driveway were rebuilt with new sidewalks, curbing, and landscaping, and topped off with a brand-new facility sign.

phase 2 was completed in September 2011 and approved for occupancy. This portion of the renovation created 26 ad-ditional private patient rooms in the build-ing’s west, one-story wing.

phase 3 is now under way, with reno-vations beginning on one half of the mid-dle floor of the three-story facility tower, scheduled to be completed by early No-vember. The remaining wing of the middle floor and the top floor of the Tower will be completed in phases 4, five, and 6, with each renovation scheduled for two-month intervals, resulting in the march 2012 com-pletion date.

wilmington, mA - Dacon corpo-ration, Diversified Project Man-agement, and innopad, Inc., a

manufacturer of polishing pads for use in chemical mechanical planarization, a criti-cal process in semiconductor manufactur-ing, recently completed the build-out of a 28,220sf headquarters and manufacturing facility at 265 Ballardvale Street in wilm-ington.

Dacon designed, engineered, permit-ted, and built the space that consisted of 3,720sf of refurbished office and 24,500sf of production space.

challenges included infrastructure to accommodate soaking tanks, redistribution and enhancement to an existing hVAc sys-tem, electrical distribution, underground process piping, and new ceilings and fin-ishes throughout. campanelli construction simultaneously completed the landlord’s base building improvements, managed by project executive, Ralph perelis.

Innopad consolidated its grinding and buffing operations from a temporary

manufacturing suite in Danvers and its former headquarters in peabody.

Owner’s representative, Diversified project management, provided innopad with support throughout the site selection, due diligence, and lease evaluation phases to ensure the new facility would meet its growth and production needs. This includ-ed the engagement of the design and con-struction teams, along with other specialty consultants, evaluation of cost estimates, and review of all programming, design, and construction documents. Upon site se-lection, Dpm provided project oversight and controls, including design manage-ment, comprehensive construction admin-

istration, ff&E procurement, and move planning services. project Executive pat forbes, along with senior project planner, Jean Nuzzo, coordinated all activities of the project team to ensure a seamless tran-

sition into the new headquarters.Unique aspects of innopad’s multi-

phased project included the specifica-tion, receipt, and installation of a 2,200sf class 10K clean room as well as a reverse osmosis water system. These elements, combined with the use of swing space to address a phased relocation schedule, pre-sented a unique set of challenges.The result was the minimization of production down-time through the shutdown of the existing facility and the startup of the new facility in less than two weeks.

The building, owned by campanelli companies, was represented by campanel-li’s director of leasing, peter Brown, along with NAI hunneman’s suburban leasing group led by Jim Thomson.

The team includes James Boudrot, Dan collins, Brendan Daly, Evan gallagh-er, Stephen James, Devon manfredonia, and michael mccarthy. Innopad was rep-resented by lenny owens, executive vice president at mccall & Almy.

worcester, mA - The Albert Sher-man center will expand and unify the Uni-versity of massachusetts medical School’s worcester campus, double its research capacity and support the school’s new learning-centered curriculum. This inter-disciplinary, state-of-the-art research and education facility will foster interaction and collaboration among scientists and promote innovation and synergies across disciplines.

Owned and financed by the UMass Building Authority, the project provides 526,000 gsf of new construction that will include wet research space, clean rooms, research core space and administrative space.

programs located in the Albert Sher-man center will include the UmmS Ad-vanced Therapeutics cluster, comprising the RNA Therapeutics Institute, center for Stem cell Biology and Regenerative medi-cine and the gene Therapy center; the De-partment of Quantitative health Sciences; and the center for Experiential learning and Simulation. Existing departments may also be located here.

Stephan chait, director of capital projects at the Umass Building Authority, says, “This is a large and complex project with a very aggressive schedule. To meet the schedule, a fast track approach using Building Information modeling (BIm) is being used. In this process, the fast pace of work cannot challenge or reduce the qual-

ity of design or of construction.” “The Building Authority’s top prior-

ity is to provide the Umass medical School with a high quality educational facility to support its mission.” he added.

“The focus on quality started in the selection process for the design team and the cm at Risk. Building a high quality ex-perienced team which includes the owner’s project manager, pmA consultants; the design team, led by ARc/Architectural Resources cambridge; the cm at risk, Suf-folk construction; and the commissioning

agent, wSp flack and Kurtz; the Building Authority and the campus took essential steps toward having a high quality build-ing. Thus far in the process this approach is paying off. The design is just about com-plete and the building is just about enclosed with interior work well under way.”

John Baker, associate vice chancellor of facilities management at the University of massachusetts medical School, noted that “wanting to capture the momentum and enthusiasm articulated in governor patrick’s 2008 life Sciences Initiative,

the University of massachusetts medical School is investing in a state-of-the-art fa-cility for the institution’s expanding world-class research enterprise. At the same time, the Sherman center provides additional educational space and amenities for the increased size of the medical school class and allows the university to further devel-op facilities for its center for experiential and simulation learning technologies.”

owner’s Rep Steve Rusteika, senior project manager at pmA consultants llc, said, “pmA greatly appreciates the oppor-tunity to provide full service opm services on this extremely important project, and to represent the University of massachusetts Building Authority. As chancellor collins often says, the research to be undertaken in the Albert Sherman center, and the po-tential results of that research, will change the future. pmA is happy to be part of that effort.”

Arthur cohen, fAIA lEED Ap, a principal at ARc/Architectural Resources cambridge, pointed out that “The Sherman center creates a new center for campus ac-tivities facing the existing quad while giv-ing the adjacent bio-research park along plantation Street (where some of the medi-cal school’s research is currently located) a presence that - to date - has not existed. combined with the creation of a new cen-ter for Experiential learning and Simula-

Bedford, Nh - Eckman construc-tion recently completed two renovation projects, adding an elevator to an academic building at Saint Anselm college in goff-stown, and renovating the State of N. h. graphic Services building in concord. Both projects were delivered under design/build contracts, where Eckman provided coordination for all design and construc-tion activities for the owners.

gadbois hall is the home of Saint Anselm college’s nursing program. It has four floors, and was built in 1968. Eckman built an addition large enough for a pas-senger elevator on one end of the build-ing, relocating the ground floor building entrance and seamlessly converting former windows on the upper floors into the eleva-tor entrances.

The brick exterior of the addition has an inset detail that mirrors the tall, narrow windows that flank it. Work inside the building also included the conversion of one restroom for handicap access. The project was accomplished during the sum-mer, and complete before students returned to campus in August.

The State graphic Services Building on the corner of hills Avenue and Storrs Street in concord suffered extensive dam-age from a broken water main. The owner mitigated the water damage, and selected Eckman to complete the restoration, up-grades, and a stairway addition.

The historic character of the building was maintained, with its granite sills and large windows. It was originally construct-ed in the 19th century near concord’s large railroad station. It now contains offices, a large printing production area, and paper storage facilities.

tion (cElS), learning communities, and a variety of research, multipur-pose, meeting, dining, and assembly spaces, the new building not only creates a modern, distinctive image, but also fits within the context of the buildings that preceded it.”

Arthur continued “one of the greatest challenges in designing a building for an academic institution is to create a flexible environment that can accommodate functional require-ments for both existing and future needs. Through careful planning and organization of building elements, flexible laboratory casework systems, and easily accessible utilities, we be-lieve we have created a building that will continue to evolve with the medi-cal School.”

Shawn Seaman, project ex-ecutive at Suffolk construction, also pointed out that, “we utilized BIm on this project to minimize potential issues much earlier in the process, when design changes have a minimal im-pact to cost or schedule. The benefits of the early implementation of BIm includes more predictability in the building process, accelerated schedules, more streamlined installation, fewer constructability change orders, and lower costs.”

working with ARc/Architectural Resources cambridge, BIm allowed the Suffolk project team to prefabricate beam

penetrations six months early on the Um-ass medical School’s Albert Sherman cen-ter project. Early production and delivery to the project site resulted in an easier in-stallation process and significant cost sav-ings.

groundbreaking for the project was in Sept of 2009. Topping off was in June 2011 and completion is slated for Decem-ber 2012.

Tiverton, RI - Sandywoods farm, an affordable, mixed-use agricultural/artists’ community in Tiverton, was honored with a merit award in the “Project of the Year: Best Reuse of land” category at the multi-family Executive conference in las Vegas last week. This award recognizes develop-ment projects that have best repositioned land for multifamily use, and/or with spe-cific attention to environmental issues.

present to accept the award was Douglas Kallfelz, AIA, lEED Ap, princi-pal at Donald powers Architects. The proj-ect was developed by church community housing corporation.

Sandywoods farm has been rec-ognized as a development model for ru-ral communities that are struggling to: 1) combat sprawl while trying to encourage economic growth; 2) provide innovative

affordable housing options; and 3) foster sustainable arts communities as economic generators.

This sustainable land development preserves 150 acres of farm land, with an additional 27-acre clustered community affordable housing, market-rate housing, commercial and mixed-use space all or-

ganized around the perimeter of the larger agricultural preserve.

The first phase of the project is com-plete, providing 50 units of affordable art-ists’ housing that is 100% occupied, as well as a 9,000sf community “grange hall” building, art studio space for resident use, and a commercial village center consisting of three mixed-use buildings including gal-

lery space, retail, and a café – all encour-aging residents to buy and sell their goods locally. Residents grow produce in com-munity gardens, which will eventually be sold at an on-site produce market.

A 250 kw on-site wind turbine is currently being erected, which will provide energy for the community.

Boston - The Dana-farber can-cer Institute’s Yawkey Center for Can-cer care project received special rec-ognition in the 2011 Deep foundations Institute (DfI) outstanding project Awards. The project was recognized for its innovative foundation design.

A cutting-edge cancer care fa-cility housing Dana-farber’s adult clinical care and clinical research pro-grams, the Yawkey Center for Cancer care is situated on a 198-ft by-186-ft lot sandwiched between several build-ings in the heart of the densely populat-ed longwood medical Area. Adjacent to the site is the medical Area Total Energy plant (mATEp) that provides power for nine million sf of occupied space in the medical area.

In-situ ground vibration mea-surements showed that the plant’s gen-erators created low frequency ground vibrations that would affect the perfor-mance of sensitive medical research equipment and provide an unaccept-able environment for clinical care.

gEI consultants designed an innovative foundation and excavation support system to isolate the building from ground vibrations generated by the mATEp power plant. Designed to support the building on bedrock located up to 110 feet below ground surface, this foundation system was isolated from the surrounding soil by physically separating

the below-grade parking garage floors from the perimeter foundation walls. Thus, the 14-story Yawkey Center for Cancer Care is actually a 21-story free-standing structure that starts seven levels below ground.

Tel Aviv, Israel - The Tel Aviv mu-seum of Art began a week of festivities—including a concert, an architecture sympo-sium, and a gala ceremony in the presence of Israeli president Shimon peres—leading up to the November 2 public opening of its new freestanding concrete-and-glass herta and paul Amir Building. Designed by pres-ton Scott cohen, the 195,000sf building adds an unprecedented work of contem-porary architecture to the campus of the museum—Israel’s principal institution of modern and contemporary art—and pro-vides a new international landmark at the center of Israel’s cultural capital.

on the inside, the Amir Building reveals that it is built around a spiraling, top-lit, 87-foot-high atrium known as the lightfall, whose subtly twisting surfaces curve and veer up and down through the structure. There are five levels to the build-ing—two above grade and three below—which twist from floor to floor to accom-modate large, rectangular galleries within the compact, irregular site. The stairs and ramped promenades of the lightfall serve as the surprising, continually unfolding vertical circulation through these floors, connecting the disparate angles of the gal-leries and allowing natural light to refract into the deepest recesses of the half-buried building.

“I am incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to work with the Tel Aviv museum of Art on the Amir Building,” said preston Scott cohen, founder and principal of preston Scott cohen, Inc based in cam-bridge, mass.

“The museum’s program set the chal-lenge of providing several floors of large, neutral, rectangular galleries within a tight, idiosyncratic, triangular site. The solution we proposed was to ‘square the triangle’ by constructing the levels on different axes, which deviate significantly from floor to floor and are unified by the Lightfall. This decision enabled us to combine two seemingly irreconcilable paradigms of the contemporary art museum: the museum of neutral white boxes, which provides opti-mal, flexible space for the exhibition of art, and the museum of spectacle, which moves visitors and offers a remarkable social ex-perience. In this way, the Amir Building’s synthesis of radical and conventional ge-ometries produces a new type of museum experience, one that is as rooted in the Baroque as it is in the modern.”

The Amir Building doubles the exhi-bition space of the Tel Aviv museum of Art, giving it 40,900sf of new galleries, as well as 10,000sf for its library. Among other fa-cilities, the Amir Building also provides a new 7,000sf auditorium.
