High-Profile is pleased to announce the appointment of Jessica Swartz Sacco, of guil-ford, conn., as our exclusive sales representative for con-necticut. Jessica is uniquely suited for this position, having literally grown up in close as-sociation with the construction industry in New England.

her grandfather, her-man Swartz, was the owner and publisher of New England Con-struction, Truck World and Construc-

tioneer Magazines, a position later assumed by her father, herb Swartz. “I grew up on job sites and started working selling advertising for these publications soon after at-tending Northeastern Univer-sity,” Jessica says.

“I love the construction industry and (after a brief re-spite to begin raising a fam-ily) I am so happy to be back

working again with High Profile.” You’ll be hearing from her soon.

Sacco Joins High-Profile

Boston - mayor menino and the BRA joined with Boston-based development firm The Fallon Company to break ground on Fan Pier’s second and third office build-ings and the future home to the 1.1 million sf global headquarters for Vertex pharma-ceuticals.

This lease is the largest commercial lease in the history of Boston, and with construction under way, it’s also the largest private sector construction project in the country.

more than 1,000 construction jobs will be created as a result of this new project. Vertex currently has approxi-mately 1,300 employees in massachusetts and expects to add an additional 500 new jobs in massachusetts through 2015 to sup-port the company’s continued growth.

Joseph fallon of The fallon com-pany, said: “As we continue to develop and move fan pier forward, one thing is appar-ent: people are inherently drawn to the wa-ter. In just a few short years, the growth and development of fan pier has transformed our waterfront into a world-class destina-tion. we’ve made tremendous progress in

defining ‘a sense of place’ for the water-front as one of the city’s most vital assets. our restaurants, retail, cultural destinations and office space, along with ongoing public programming, have re-connected hundreds of thousands of Bostonians to and onto the water.”

The Vertex office buildings are each 18 stories high and offer a combined total of approxi-mately 1.1 million sf of research (laboratory) and office space, plus 60,000sf of ground floor restaurant and retail, and under-ground parking.

The buildings are designed by two highly-acclaimed archi-tectural firms, and Boston-based Turner construction will serve as the project’s general contractor.

50 Northern Avenue is designed by Tsoi/Kobus Associates of cambridge. The contemporary building design is comprised of a floor-to-ceiling glass exterior with light blue glass and a full-height sloped design feature along Northern Avenue, to offer panoramic views of the waterfront and sur-

The groundbreaking cer-emony celebrates the largest commercial lease in Boston’s history and the largest private sector construction project un-derway in the country.

holliston, mA - Director of opera-tions, gerry Richards and corporate human resources manager, Donna David recently accepted the patriotic Employer Award on behalf of Griffin Electric, for the company’s exceptional support of National guard and Reserve force employees by the National committee for Employer Support of the guard and Reserve (ESgR). ombudsman Rick Bedell of the ESgR was on-hand to present the award.

US marine corps Reserve lance cor-poral michael Black nominated the compa-ny, stating that they hired him knowing he was in the marine corps Reserve and was going to deploy to Afghanistan. without hesitation, Griffin Electric granted him time off for military training and vacation prior to his deployment. “They are a good car-ing company for all service members,” he said. In addition to Black, two other grif-fin Electric employees are currently serving

on active duty, and a third recently returned from leave.

Headquartered in Holliston, Griffin Electric has offices in Duluth, GA; Raleigh, NC; Charlotte, NC, and Pelham, AL. The company, with its over 1200 employees, serves clients throughout New England and the Southeast in markets ranging from com-mercial, educational and municipal to medi-cal, industrial and high-tech.

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.

In our June issue we published a rendering of the Dartmouth hitchcock Nashua facility with the Dartmouth hi-tchock heater Road medical Building story. we include here the correct photos and captions.

Designed by lavallee Brensinger, the Dartmouth-hitchcock heater Road is scheduled to open in the fall 2012. The facility will house primary care, outpatient rehabil itation, functional res-toration, dermatology, phlebotomy, and a sleep disorders center.

The published photo was that of the Dartmouth-hitchcock Nashua’s new

152,000sf multi-specialty medical of-fice building/ambulatory care building designed by healthcare architects mor-risSwitzer Environments for health. The facility will accommodate space to relocate the existing clinical and support programs as well as expanded clinical programs.

worcester, mA - State, city, and local officials, students, and faculty members from the University of mas-sachusetts, and representatives from ARc/Architectural Resources cam-bridge and Suffolk construction com-pany recently held a topping off cer-emony to commemorate completion of the structural steel frame for the Albert Sherman center, a nine-story medi-cal research facility at the university’s medical school campus in worcester.

Upon its completion, the new fa-cility will total approximately 500,000sf of space, doubling the medical school’s research capacity and expanding its educa-tional space.

featuring a new wet lab research building, with educational and academic spaces, this building will be the latest addi-tion to the university’s worcester campus, which has grown over the past seven years since the construction of the Aaron lazare medical Research Building. The Albert Sherman center will be physically linked to the original medical School building.

ARc, a nationally recognized ar-chitectural, planning, and interior design firm specializing in educational, science, sports and corporate facilities, is oversee-ing all aspects of the project from design services, including programming, through construction, commissioning and closeout. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2012.

The Sherman center will bring the Advanced Therapeutics cluster (ATc), the

Department of Quantitative health Scienc-es, the RNA Therapeutics Institute and the center for Experiential learning and Sim-ulation under one roof. It will be a state-of-the-art facility where some of the world’s top researchers can focus on creating new therapies for many debilitating diseases as well as facilities to support the education of the next generation of physicians in mas-sachusetts.

The building will be energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable to meet the US green Building council’s lEED Silver standards, as well as all local, state, and building energy performance standards and building codes.

In addition to wet lab space, the new addition will include clean rooms, adminis-trative space, a 300-seat auditorium, library, conference center, cafeteria, and campus support spaces. A 1,441 space garage will be built in the adjacent biotechnology re-search park.

The economy has improved some-what, and associations are sharing the re-

sults of those teams that have completed projects during the tough times. I had the opportunity to chat with Ronald worth, cAE, ESmpS, cpSm, cpc, and cEo of Soci-ety for marketing profes-sional Services. Ron was attending the 30th Anni-

versary celebration of the SmpS Boston and Roc awards (see page 20). Ron was upbeat about the nationwide attendance gains this year. we hope to attend the national confer-ence in chicago this August. Boston SmpS hosted last year’s national conference.

Award nights always pull out the stops with high caliber top executives in at-tendance to accept the awards. You can look for more award nights this fall.

The massachusetts Building congress (mBc) is accepting nominations from its members for organization/company induct-ees into the mBc hall of fame. The 2011 hall of fame inductees will be honored at the mBc Annual Dinner and hall of fame gala in November.

ities, and community betterment. The award will be presented at NAIop ’s Annual Award gala in November with a special tribute by hff, the evening’s platinum sponsor.

michael marvelli’s trip to AISc’s na-tional conference in pittsburgh earlier this year has prompted us to carry more news relevent to the industry. AISc’s 14th Edition Steel construction manual will be available in hard copy format on July 1. orders may be placed through AISc’s online bookstore at www.aisc.org/bookstore. The 2010 AISc Specification is available for free down-loading on the AISc website at www.aisc.org/2010spec.

portsmouth, RI - Students, faculty, alumni, and local business lead-ers, including principals from ARc/Architectural Resources cambridge, cel-ebrated the groundbreak-ing ceremony in may for a new student dormitory and faculty residence for the portsmouth Abbey School at its campus in portsmouth.

The 28,000sf build-ing, which will contain 30 student beds and three faculty residences organized along a central corridor, is designed by ARc, an architectural, planning, and interior design firm specializing in educational, sports, sci-ence, and corporate facilities.

portsmouth Abbey School, a coedu-cational, catholic Benedictine boarding and day school for students in grades 9-12, is located on a 500-acre campus along the picturesque shores of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay.

This is ARc’s second housing proj-ect on the campus, having completed a 36-bed girls’ dormitory, St. Brigid’s house, in 2007. The new boys’ dormitory will incor-porate similar design features, including a large common room and central study, both of which reinforce the sense of community the school strives to foster. The design will integrate locally sourced building materials

as well as elements of the existing architec-tural style of the campus. The building re-inforces the new “campus green” that was developed as part of ARC’s first residence hall on the campus.

Sustainable features include the use of roof-top solar panels that will provide anywhere from 60% to 100% of the build-ing’s hot water needs. water-saving toilets and faucets, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, as well as very high efficiency boilers, will also contribute to the build-ing’s sustainable features. The new build-ing is oriented to maximize passive solar heating, and the super insulated building shell will minimize the need for supple-mental heat.

Advanced Building concepts is the general contractor for the project, which is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2012 and occupancy in the fall of 2012.

Boston - historic Boston Incorporated re-cently completed the first phase of restoration on the 1804 clapp house in Dorchester, celebrat-ing the work of a stu-dent carpentry team from the North Bennet Street School of Boston on the historic – and future – residence building.

historic Boston employees and students from the North End school, which teaches traditional trades including preserva-tion carpentry, marked the completion of the stately, restored building.

Restoration of the clapp house, named after a family that built the 1804 house and home of Animal Rescue league founder Anna clapp har-ris Smith, is the first project of an ongoing collaboration between historic Boston Inc. and the North Bennet Street School. The team works to repair overlooked historic buildings in Boston while helping North Bennet Street students train in real-world preservation projects. Students complete a full scope of preservation carpentry proj-ects, and historic Boston manages the ma-sonry improvements and property acquisi-tions.

To date, restoration of the clapp house has involved new windows and sills, foundation reconstruction, and chimney re-building. The students removed shingles to reveal original clapboards, which were re-paired before being painted with a primer.

In the summer, North Bennet Street and historic Boston will team up to repair the house’s roof structure.

The clapp house project is expected to be completed in 2012 and is intended not only to restore an important historic build-ing but also to provide one and possibly two new residences to the neighborhood.

Boston - margulies perruzzi Archi-tects announced that the firm received a 2011 Environmental Design + construction Excellence in Design Award for its sustain-able design of hobbs Brook management’s Class A office complex at 175-185 Wyman Street in waltham.

margulies perruzzi Architects was recognized with an honorable mention in the commercial category.

owned and operated by hobbs Brook management, designed by margulies per-ruzzi Architects, and built by columbia construction company, the complex earned LEED Gold certification and Innovation in Design credits in all five categories set forth by the US green Building council.

The 175-185 wyman Street complex is 335,000sf of new construction built with the highest level of design, construction, materials, and finishes. The property fea-tures two l-shaped buildings with a court-yard between that creates a campus-like setting. The project includes underground and surface parking and a 5,424sf, food-court style corporate dining facility in the 175 wyman Street building with an out-door patio, as well as a café and satellite location for the shoulder periods in the 185 wyman Street building next door.

Sustainable aspects include an in-tegrated green cleaning program, mature landscaping, high-reflection roofing, pre-

ferred parking for hybrid vehicles and car poolers, and shower facilities for bicycle commuters.

The project recycled over 95% of the former building on the site as structural fill, incorporating an equivalent of $7 million worth of recycled materials.

The state-of-the-art stormwater treat-ment system utilizes a pond that doubles as a landscape feature to clean water before it heads to the cambridge Reservoir, while additional stormwater runoff collected on

site is used for irrigation of the site’s native and drought-resistant plantings. The proj-ect featured 40% water-use reduction and 22% optimized energy performance during the design, engineering, and construction phases, with the intention of reducing ener-gy costs to future tenants. Additionally, the exterior materials of the building provide practical solar protection through the use of solar shading that minimizes heat gain while also drawing natural light deep into the office space.

N.h. preservation Alliance Awards

Newbury, Nh - The recently com-pleted renovations by North Branch con-struction of concord to the Newbury cen-ter meeting house in Newbury were among 10 projects honored by the New hampshire preservation Alliance with a preservation Achievement Award this year.

In 2005, citizens of Newbury led by Dan wolf, along with the board of trustees responsible for the meeting house, came together and decided it was time to re-pair their town’s piece of history before it would be lost forever. A board of directors was formed and joined forces with North Branch construction to bring the Newbury center meeting house back to life.

The four-phase restoration project began with raising the building to replace the foundation, which proved to be no small feat itself. once the building was lifted, it was discovered that the support-ing timbers were in serious stages of poten-tial failure and North Branch had to work quickly to provide corrective measures to

ensure structural integrity before lowering the building back onto the new concrete foundation.

The remaining phases included re-moval and repair of the bell tower and steeple, roof repairs, extensive exterior and interior renovations, and sitework. old photographs were utilized to make sure the building remained as historically accurate as possible throughout construction.

Burlington, mA - The countdown to the first day of the school year has begun, and cTA construction

co. Inc. will hand over the keys to the new memorial Elementary School well before the first bell rings in September.

The new 500-student memorial Ele-mentary School, occupying 78,500sf, went up directly in front of the existing school it will replace. Started last march, cTA’s crew put the finishing touches on the $17 million facility by the middle of July.

Designed by Knight, Bagge & An-derson Inc., the facility offers preschool, kindergarten, and grades one through five classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, li-

brary and media center, art room, music room, and administrative offices.

waltham-based cTA is turning its at-tention to the second phase of the project, tearing down the 1950s-era school behind the new building. In addition, cTA is also the general contractor on the renovation and expansion of the marshall Simonds El-ementary School directly across the street from the memorial Elementary.

“At cTA, we value our partnerships with the building owners, and our working relationship with Burlington has been out-standing. we have been able to keep this project ahead of schedule and under budget because of the leadership and cooperation

of Burlington school officials,” said Ed pereira, cTA’s project manager on memo-rial Elementary.

Built in the 1950s and never signifi-cantly upgraded, the old memorial Ele-mentary School lacked adequate classroom space, fire protection systems, and handi-capped accessibility, and had outdated me-chanical, heating, and plumbing systems. The new memorial Elementary School is the first new school built in Burlington since the high school in 1972.

with demolition of the old build-ing, the completed site will include play-

ing fields, landscaping, expanded parking, dedicated bus traffic access, and handicap access. Demolition and sitework are sched-uled for completion by the end of the year.

Across winn Street from the new me-morial Elementary School, cTA is already under way on a $21 million makeover of the marshall Simonds middle School. The middle school project includes building a new two-story addition with a prominent entryway and classrooms. It also includes phased renovations to the existing 50-year-

worcester, mA - cutler Asso-ciates provided design-build services to wright and Bullock Residence halls at clark University. The reno-vations included contemporizing the façade and entrance, new welcoming lobbies, social lounges, and common area. This was a fast-track summer renovation project that was complet-ed in 14 weeks.

A creative, cost-effective de-sign-build solution was devised to

maximize the value of the $3.5 million budget. The team worked with the facili-ties and residence life teams to determine the needs and priorities for the future of the buildings. The results focused on creating a contemporary identity for the facilities, both inside and out, updating the lighting, colors, and fabrics to fashion a modern environment that will be comfortable and welcoming for today’s freshman students.

The block and concrete structures of-fer traditional, double-loaded corridor accommodations with double bed-rooms and common bathrooms. The halls are a key component of the first Year Experience program at the uni-versity and are paramount to creating unique learning and social opportuni-ties and a sense of community for these students.

New lobbies were built within the expanded façades, and elevators

were installed, enhancing both accessibility and exterior aesthetics. New social lounges were created on each floor, the bathrooms were rebuilt throughout both buildings in-corporating energy recovery technologies, and additional common spaces were added to improve community interaction and fa-cilitate residence life program goals. These spaces include smart study rooms, laundry centers, and community kitchens.

Boston - The Univer-sity of massachusetts Bos-ton broke ground recently on the first new academic building since the campus was completed in 1974.

The building, a $155 million, 220,000sf Inte-grated Sciences complex, is being built at the entrance of the columbia point campus and will house state-of-the-art research, teaching, and training laboratories.

walsh Brothers, the construction manager for the complex, has begun driv-ing 320 piles into the site to support the building foundation. The work is expected to continue through the sum-mer and is the beginning of $700 million in construction activity on the Umass Boston campus over the next decade.

The new six-story building, designed by architectural firm Goody Clancy, will include wet and dry research laboratories and support space, undergraduate biology teaching labs, an infant cognition lab, and two new research centers – the Develop-mental Sciences Research center and the center for personalized cancer Therapy. It is expected to open for classes in Septem-ber 2013.

“The Integrated Sciences complex

represents a significant step forward in our continued commitment to provide access to high-quality education for our students,” said chancellor J. Keith motley. “This is the start of a planned renewal of our cam-pus that will open the doors to opportunity even wider at Umass Boston.”

The complex is part of a 25-year master plan that will include the Edward m. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, which starts construction this fall, and a general academic building, which will begin construction in 2012.

These will be followed by roadway reconfiguration and additional academic, residential, athletic, and parking facilities, as well as a greening of the campus with improved pedestrian and bike paths.

treatment plant was completed in May 2011.

lighthouse completes Subaru ShowroomEngineer - ART Engineering

Stoughton, mA – J. f. white con-struction’s (Jfw) Electrical Division re-cently provided design-build services for the 75.26kw rooftop solar system at the wElco facility in Stoughton. The proj-ect included Jfw’s solar array electric energy analysis, development of sche-matic design, performance calculations, filing all permits, and DG interconnection application.

J.f. white provided complete

design, engineering (subcontracted) and construction documents, procure-ment of all materials, on-site construc-tion oversight, supervision, and project management. The firm also provided system commissioning and provided on-site training. The six array pV system is comprised of 390 Kyocera 235-watt pV modules mounted on a Unirac hD rail racking system, utilizing four 13kw and two 15kw Solectria inverters.

Byfield, MA – NECA Boston con-tractor J. m. Electrical co., Inc. of lyn-nfield completed the installation of the governor’s Academy pV system in a three-month project in the late 2010.

The company’s field crew of five electricians from IBEw local 103 was su-

pervised by pm Adam palmer and foreman paul Kelly.

The system consists of 154 Kyocera solar panels and two Solectria 15kw solar inverters, and a panelclaw ballasted roof-mount system.

for the users of photovoltaic (pV) systems, business and residential customers alike,

it is critical that those who perform pV installations have the proper training and experience. It is also vital that oversight of solar electric projects is provided by qualified wire inspectors that examine all as-pects of the electrical installation. It is a matter of protecting public safety as well as having assurance that an appropriate, quality solar electric installa-tion has been provided.

There are those that are trying to downplay the importance of having quali-fied personnel install PV systems and are seeking to exempt photovoltaic/solar elec-tric projects in massachusetts, via house Bill 1004, from existing state regulation and oversight. NEcA remains fully in sup-port of the existing regulations that affirm that solar installations are indeed electri-

cal installations and therefore must be installed by trained and licensed electrical profes-sionals.

The installation of pho-tovoltaic power systems is well covered by what has long been State law in massachu-setts - m.g.l. ch. 141S 1. The statute reads, “No person, firm or corporation shall en-ter into, engage in, or work at

the business of installing wires, conduits, apparatus, fixtures or other appliances for carrying or using electricity for light, heat or power purposes, unless such person, firm or corporation have received a license and a certificate therefore, issued by the state examiners of electricians and in ac-cordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth.” The language of this statute is unambiguous. It certainly applies to the installation of photovoltaic systems, which require wiring to enable the conversion of

sunlight into electricity, which is used to light, heat, and power our homes, educa-tional facilities, and businesses.

for the last 96 years, the contractors of the Electrical contractors Association of greater Boston (NEcA) have abided by the regulations of the State Examiners of Electricians. we have gained the nec-essary training and experience to qualify as “master Electricians.” In a 2009 ruling, The massachusetts Board of State Exam-iners of Electricians (BEEE) reinstated its determination that photovoltaic systems in massachusetts are required to be installed, repaired, and maintained only by a licensed journeyman electrician or a properly super-vised apprentice. It is a determination that will continue to serve the commonwealth and its citizens well.

NEcA and our electrical industry partners, the IBEw, are well prepared to meet the increasing demand for photovol-taic installations. we have, for years, been training apprentices and journeymen elec-

tricians in photovoltaics. The contractors of our Association have adeptly performed dozens of solar installations, just a few of which are documented on these pages. These pV projects, and many others that are under way by our experienced electri-cal contractors, will continue to positively impact the business community and resi-dential customers throughout the region for years to come. They are projects that have been and will be installed to meet all electrical codes and specifications. We ap-plaud the State Board of Electrical Exam-iners for their ruling that confirms that PV system installations be handled by proper-ly trained personnel, and with the oversight of electrical examiners and wire inspectors. NEcA looks forward to continuing to build a safer, brighter and renewable future for massachusetts.

farmington, cT - The University of connecticut health center’s cell and genome Sciences Building

was recently named Renovated lab of the Year for 2011 by R&D Magazine.

Designed by architect goody clancy of Boston and BVh Engineers of Bloom-field, Conn,. the new laboratory facility was built by fIp construction who over-saw all pre-construction planning, schedul-ing, and overall construction activities on the project.

The 117,000gsf gut renovation of a vacant former industrial laboratory has cre-ated a new interdisciplinary research cen-ter, bringing together geneticists, cell and molecular biologists, theorists, computer scientists, and mathematicians, working together in pursuit of a variety of transla-tional research goals.

In collaboration with goody clancy, fIp construction changed a 1970s indus-trial research facility into a state-of-the-art cell and genome lab, connected to natural light and the surrounding landscape. The existing facility had resulted in many in-terior spaces with no daylight; these were transformed into open, flexible labs in an orderly circulation pattern.

Uchc’s ambitious program for the building included not only researchers rep-resenting a number of departments and or-ganizations in the medical school and med-ical research enterprise, but incubator labs

to support the commercialization of new research, and all the amenities, including food service, bicycle parking and showers, conference rooms, food service and a 100-seat auditorium, to support a free-standing research facility. Beyond the complex pro-gram, the building was required to receive a minimum lEED Silver rating, and stay within a very restricted budget.

goody clancy’s design created a complete transformation of the non-de-script existing building. formerly solid exterior walls were opened up with more

than 50 new punched window openings, and over 450 linear feet of skylights were added to not only bring daylight into the deeper interior spaces of the two-acre building footprint, but to emphasize key circulation routes and improve the legibil-ity of the building plan for visitors. The former program areas which were tightly clustered were completely reconfigured, to create a mix of office space, labs, and sup-port spaces that would be more amenable to the needs of an academic medical center research program. walls between labs and public spaces were opened up with bor-

rowed lites to enhance daylight penetra-tion, and to enhance visual connection be-tween the different program elements.

The building houses new-state-of-the-art systems. And not just research equipment, although the microscopy, trans-lational genomics, and screening facilities are all top-of-the-line. The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were completely replaced with modern, high-efficiency equipment. A new data center in the building supports ongoing building use and is also a site for the Virtual cell pro-gram, designated as a National Resource by NIh.

And state-of-the-art audio-video

equipment and telecommunications capa-bilities allow the auditorium and confer-ence facilities to be used not only for a wide variety of scientific presentations, but also for videoconferencing to the main Uchc campus, or to anywhere on the planet.

To help keep on-budget, the original exterior envelope was maintained as the boundary of the new work. Since the over-all shape of the building was unchanged, goody clancy used the new windows and their associated sunshades, as well as a new canopy for the new front entrance location, as design elements to help express the new

ownership and use of the facility. The site was also completely relandscaped, not only to enhance the building’s image, but to in-stall native vegetation and create a new set of bioswales and bioretention ponds to bet-ter manage stormwater on the site.

The lab of the Year judges were im-pressed by the way goody clancy’s design decisions made the best use of the budget, saying, “This renovation succeeded be-cause of its focus on what is important to get the right people to be willing to work in the facility....It should open the eyes of cur-rent owners and potential future users that there are wonderful opportunities for most existing buildings.” or, in the words of Dr. John carson, one of the building’s scientist occupants, “The physical transformation of the building from what it was to what it is now is as dramatic as the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly. The inten-sity and quality of daylight brought into the building is stunning.

The grove of trees in the back and the breakroom are grace notes that im-mediately enhanced scientific and social interaction and improved livability of the building by providing informal congrega-tion areas… The cross-roads and adjacent open demo lab are spectacular engines of scientific synergy within the building.”

lexington, mA – cubist pharma-ceuticals hired The Richmond group of hopkinton as the design-build construc-tion manager for its new $50 million verti-cal expansion laboratory project located in lexington that is scheduled for completion in 2012. The new space was designed to accommodate cubist pharmaceuticals’ current and future needs for research and development.

Due to site restrictions and the cur-rent building footprint at their location in lexington, the most cost effective solu-tion for expansion was to build “vertical,” hence the name of the project “vertical ex-pansion.”

As part of the visionary and forward thinking process by cubist and The Rich-mond group, the concrete footing and steel columns were designed into the floor plan for the level 1 laboratory project in 2007. These new columns support the new two floors of labs and the mechanical pent-house and roof.

without the integration of the foot-

ing and columns into the newly built level 1 lab layout, the current project wouldn’t have been feasible without additional costs and/or schedule impacts. This forward-thinking approach allowed cubist pharma-ceutical R&D labs to continue on level 1 with minimal impacts to the scientists as the new structure was erected above their existing labs in the afternoon and early evening hours.

The additional 77,000sf of state-of-the-art laboratory space (overall addition of 104,000gsf of new space) at cubist’s lexington headquarters is comprised of two floors of labo-ratory/administration/technical sup-port, a new central utility plant, a new mechanical penthouse and retrofit of level 1 existing labs.

Also included in The Richmond group’s design/build contract with cubist is a 299 space precast parking garage. many of the new building elements have been transposed over to the garage so it will blend in with the new facility and the overall look

of the cubist pharmaceutical corporate campus environment that already exists.

The entire project was drawn and coordinated in 3D/BIm. The Richmond group, working directly with their design team (R.g. Vanderweil Engineers, Spagnolo gisness & Associates, Inc. and olson lewis Dioli & Doktor Architects) and subcontrac-tors developed the 3D model to facilitate the

proper sequencing for installation of the me-chanical/electrical/plumbing system while eliminating conflicts in the field.

The 3D model was also a major as-set during the preconstruction phases of the project in helping to assist cubist and the entire project team to fully visualize the en-tire project before any work was installed in the field. This approach has allowed The Richmond Group to minimize field changes, maintaining the baseline cost estimate.

providence, RI - KBE Building cor-poration began renovation of the 70,000sf recreation center at Rhode Island college (RIc) last month. The $12.5 million proj-ect is part of an overall plan by the col-lege to enhance and modernize student life around the campus. once completed, the facility will house a number of sup-port functions for recreational and fitness activities. Included in the plan are a weight room, a multipurpose dance studio, a field house, and natatorium. The renovation will also include necessary and extensive hVAc system upgrades and architectural renovations.

KBE is working with Design part-nership of cambridge (Dpc) and Sgarzi Associates on the recreation center reno-vation project, which is part of a campus-wide effort to modernize student life facili-ties on campus. The design team worked closely with RIc to evaluate the viability of reprogramming the existing building to better serve campus recreational needs. The team conducted several user-driven forums to better understand and accommodate the needs of faculty, students, and staff.

Based on those results, Dpc devel-oped a program and design solution that will create an architectural companion to the existing athletic building, address cir-culation and security complexity within the existing facility, create an inviting recreational complex for the campus com-munity, maximize daylight into interior

spaces, and provide multi-use functionality for sports and special events. The program will also provide space for fitness, weight room and multipurpose rooms, social gath-erings, and a sports medicine area.

As part of addressing urgent building needs, the renovation will include neces-sary and extensive hVAc system upgrades and architectural renovations.

once part of the State home and School for children, RIc’s Recreational center was acquired from the state in the mid-1980s, and opened as the RIc Recre-ation center in 1989 upon completion of the renovation project to enclose the ex-isting swimming pool and add the current field house.

The original structure was built in the early 1950s.

The KBE on-site construction team is currently coordinating the interior demo-lition work in preparation for the renova-tions. Wiring and fire safety resources are also being installed.

KBE is phasing the project to keep the recreation center operational through-out. The weight room facilities have been temporarily relocated to the field house, and the pool and field house will remain open over the summer.

completion date is scheduled for January 2012.

In recent years, the farmington, Connecticut-based construction firm has managed the construction of a number of fitness centers and athletics facilities at higher education institutions. These include new athletic fields and locker fa-cilities at hood college in maryland, new athletic fields and press facilities at Uni-versity of Bridgeport (cT), the additions and renovations to wesleyan University’s Freeman Athletic Center, a fitness center at New london’s connecticut college, and the James p. muldoon River center crew and sail facility project at St. mary’s college of maryland.

window film options have in-creased dramatically over the past 40 years. Tremendous

technological advances in the construction and manufacture of window films also

have occurred. Along with helping to meet continuing education credit requirements, this course provides an overview of the many features and benefits of window films and the op-portunities to help achieve energy con-servation, security

and architectural design goals.American window film, Inc. is of-

fering an American Institute of Architects/continuing Education System (AIA/cES) credited course on window films.

This one-hour course is an introduc-tion to window film application as a day-lighting strategy for architects and engi-neers.

After completing the course and 10-question quiz, credit earned will be re-ported to cES Records for AIA members.

3m company and The continuing Architect are registered providers with the AIA/cES and as a 3m Authorized prestige

window film Dealer, American window Film, Inc. is qualified to offer the course.

course attendees will gain knowl-edge of window films including different types and materials; commercial, retail and residential window film applications; their features and benefits relative to energy savings and safety of people and property; and architectural/designer application po-tential. Solar control, security, architec-tural/designer and privacy window film options are examined in the presentation.

The course also provides insight on submitting Construction Specifications Institute specifications for appropriate window films for specific purposes. Ad-ditionally, the course reviews the history and basics of window films including their construction and performance specifica-tions.

current requirements to obtain LEED certification have increased de-mand for products that implement practi-cal and measurable green building design and construction solutions.

Many window films qualify for lEED credits.

lEED credit categories for window films include energy and atmosphere, day-light and views, light pollution reduction, optimized energy performance and many others that help to improve lEED rating status. (categories are listed in the course

presentation.)global recognition of the window

film industry was received in 2009 when the National fenestration Rating council agreed to certify window films.

course highlights include differ-ences in construction and benefits of met-alized and nonmetalized window films for interior and exterior use and discussion on window film specifications including solar heat gain coefficient, shading coefficient and total solar energy rejected. A major benefit of window film is the reduction of solar heat gain and its associated energy cost savings.

A “rule-of-thumb” for energy sav-ings is that for every 100sf of window film installed on glass exposed to the sun, about one ton of air conditioning is saved.

course discussion includes infor-mation on equipment and software avail-able for measuring temperatures pre- and post-application and projecting return-on-investment. Although there are many simple calculators available that will help to estimate potential energy savings, the window film industry has developed an energy savings analysis simulation pro-gram called E-film – designed to calculate estimated energy savings when using solar control window films. E-Film projections can be helpful when attempting to qualify for utility company incentives.

As safety is a major benefit of win-dow film, construction and specifications related to security films are examined in the course. Blast and missile impact test-ing performance is demonstrated relative to windstorm protection against flying de-bris. Security films help prevent damage to property that can result from exposure to the elements. They are a low-profile deter-rent to smash-and-grab crime and vandal-ism.

Additional window film benefits in-clude improved interior comfort through the reduction of temperature imbalances, reduced UV/fade damage to fabrics and furnishings, reduced nuisance glare and overall improvement to a building’s exte-rior appearance.

Architectural/designer and privacy films are also in demand.

flat glass essentially becomes a can-vas for a creative film design. Among a va-riety of designer options, these films can provide an etched glass look at a fraction of the cost. Subsequently, if change is de-sired, the film can be removed easily and a new creative design applied. conference rooms, lobbies, retail environments, glass partitions and private offices are typical opportunities for designer and privacy film installations.

portland, mE - harriman, a full-ser-vice architecture and engineering design firm with offices in Portland and Auburn, maine and manchester, N.h., recently signed both the Architecture 2030 chal-lenge and the AIA 2030 commitment, pledging its commitment to a sustainable built environment.

The Architecture 2030 challenge is an initiative aimed at reducing the emission of greenhouse gases by changing the way buildings are designed and constructed.

The AIA 2030 commitment is a chal-

lenge set forth by the American Institute of Architects to its member firms to take a leadership role in reducing the energy con-sumption and greenhouse gas creation in the buildings that are designed and operat-ed. The commitment has a clear long-term goal: by 2030, it will be standard practice to design and construct climate neutral build-ings – buildings that do not use greenhouse gas emitting energy to operate. The goal is to reduce energy consumption across each firm’s entire portfolio, not just for projects seeking green building certification.

gloucester, mA - During a ceremony in gloucester, patrick-murray Administra-tion officials presented three of the state’s newest green communities – glouces-ter, Newburyport, and Swampscott – with awards to finance clean energy projects. Municipal officials plan to use awards, totaling $497,000, for heating and ventila-tion improvements, building envelope up-grades, and energy-efficient lighting.

“Today we celebrate municipalities who lead the way in meeting massachu-setts’ clean energy and energy efficiency goals, which save money and protect the environment,” said Energy and Environ-mental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Richard K. Sullivan Jr.

In march, EEA’s Department of En-ergy Resources (DoER) awarded its latest round of grants worth $3.6 million to the state’s newest green communities - 18 cities and towns from Boston to the Berk-shires that earned the designation, making

them eligible for awards to fund local re-newable power and energy efficiency proj-ects that will advance both municipal and state clean energy goals.The Green Communities awards will fund:

• Gloucester: $198,200 for energy conservation measures, including im-provements to the o’maley middle School building envelope, demand control venti-lation upgrades, and the installation of an energy-saving ceiling and heat exchanger at the o’maley Rink.

• Newburyport: $155,000 for energy conservation measures at the police station and city hall, including air sealing, modi-fication of the HVAC system, lighting re-placement, and other mechanical systems improvements.

• Swampscott: $143,800 for energy conservation measures at municipal school buildings, including lighting retrofits and steam trap upgrades, and funding for a part-time energy manager.

concord, Nh – Two years ago, meridian construction was hired to renovate the State library in concord. The project, which included replacing and restoring over 100 century-old win-dows, received a lot of attention in the area due to the historical significance that the library holds for many in New hampshire. The outstanding work per-formed by meridian won them a 2010 Excellence in construction award from Associated Builders & contractors.

meridian has started work on a new set of restorations, on the signature

granite façade of the library, interior sky-lights, and more.

Upcoming work will include clean-ing, repairing, and repointing the building’s granite exterior. glass skylights will be re-placed and reglazed, as the original glazing compound contained asbestos, which was properly removed and disposed of. The new frosted replacement glass will be en-hanced by attic area lighting above the sky-lights, simulating natural lighting that had been previously eliminated through years of weathertight construction solutions.

Additional restorations include fixing existing plaster walls, ceilings and mold-ings, marble stairwell, and mosaic floor tiles. Thermal improvements have been made, involving low expansion foam ap-plications to attic walls and ceilings above existing interior restored skylights.

The estimated completion date for the project will be around late summer.

Tewksbury, mA - During a recent topping off ceremony, cTA construc-tion co. lifted into place the last piece of steel for the Tewksbury memorial high School, marking an important milestone in the project. Up next, workers will build exterior walls and a roof, followed by the interior construction, all to be completed by summer 2012.

The $52 million high school will cover 219,000sf and stand three stories tall. located within yards of the cur-rent high school, the project presents cTA construction with the challenge of working around the school’s schedule to minimize disruption.

There are 4,200 pieces of steel

weighing 1,700 tons in this structure. work on the foundations started last December and steel erection began in february.

The new Tewksbury memorial high School will feature a two-story, glass entryway; a full performing arts center with lighting, sound, and rigging systems; and a gymnasium ringed by an elevated indoor track. once completed, cTA will demolish the former high school, built in 1959, and build athletic fields and parking lots on the site.

The building will meet the stan-dards of the massachusetts - collab-orative for high performance Schools (mA-chpS).

Boston – on may 4, Erland con-struction, Springfield College, and Stephen Jablonski Architects were honored with paul E. Tsongas awards from the preserva-tion massachusetts organization at its 2011 ceremony at the fairmont copley plaza.

The firms were singled out for their work on the Stitzer YmcA restoration proj-ect at Springfield College.

Erland construction teamed with Stephen Jablonski Architects to renovate Judd gymnasia – the oldest building on the Springfield College campus – that yielded the Stitzer YmcA center. This adaptive re-use focused on restoring the unique charac-

ter of the 1894 campus landmark. over time, the building had been reno-

vated and changed to accommodate various needs. for this project, Erland was charged with bringing the building back to life, revi-talizing and emphasizing its original beauty by uncovering its large arched windows and vaulted ceilings.

The 39,350sf building now includes the College’s Office of YMCA Relations, YmcA program space, and the YmcA hall of Fame. A new Springfield college museum and the college archives, along with new student activity space, are housed in this renovated building.

manchester, Nh - North Branch con-struction, Inc. of concord has completed the construction and renovation of a new housing facility for the nonprofit organiza-tion families in Transition. This building, located in manchester, will serve as tran-sitional housing for homeless women and their children.

The gothic Revival style building, originally named the hervey Tufts house when it was built in 1846 by stove merchant hervey Tufts, has changed ownership mul-tiple times in the past 150 years and under-gone many additions and renovations.

This is the fourth building that North Branch has completed for families in Tran-sition, a local agency that provides afford-able intermediate housing and extensive social service programs to families in need.

The project included the demolition of a large section of the existing historic build-ing and the construction of a new three-story addition in its place. The remaining portion of the building underwent asbestos abate-ment and lead paint removal before a total renovation. The final product, designed by Burnell-Johnson Architects of manchester, includes an administrative office space, community kitchen and dining area, and 17 units of housing.

North Branch construction has pro-vided affordable housing in New hampshire for many years with the construction of workforce, elderly, and transitional housing. Examples of these projects include parment-er place workforce housing in concord and Spring Street veteran housing in Nashua.

Boston – historic Boston Incorpo-rated (hBI) and Boston mayor Thomas m. menino celebrated a major rehabilitation and restoration of the golden Building in Dorchester, a $320,000 project focused on a 116-year-old commercial building and designed to spur economic investment in the wider fields corner neighborhood.

The two-story, 8,500sf golden Building, a centerpiece of the commercial area with a history of multiple retail tenants, now features an entirely new and friendlier façade. HBI identified the project’s poten-tial and provided building owner Stephen golden with a $210,000 loan to complete the storefront and façade projects.

Amory Architects of Boston was hired to create a vision of what the build-ing could like if these architectural features were restored or recreated. “Steven was very receptive to the idea,” said Jeffrey go-nyeau, hBI’s program director for historic Neighborhood centers.

K & B contracting, Inc. of Boston began work at the end of last year, and work proceeded through one of the snowi-est, wettest winters in recent memory.

hBI collaborated with fields corner main Street and served as owner’s repre-sentative and project manager during five months of construction. golden received a $50,000 ReStore grant and an additional $25,000 Partners with Non-Profits Grant from the city of Boston and fields corner main Street. Decades of partial and haphaz-ard alterations were removed to be replaced by the handsome, consistent appearance of an earlier era in the building’s life.

The golden Building façade

rehabilitation is the first brick-and-mortar project of hBI’s historic Neighborhood centers program, which is intended to ini-tiate real estate improvements in older Bos-ton neighborhoods by targeting prominent and worthy historic structures and facili-tating significant, highly visible improve-ments.

historic Boston Incorporated is a nonprofit organization that works with lo-cal partners to identify and invest in the redevelopment of historically significant buildings and cultural resources in order to catalyze neighborhood renewal.

cambridge, mA - Acentech Inc. provided con-sulting and design services for the Art of the Americas wing and Ruth and carl J. Shapiro family courtyard at the museum of fine Arts, Boston (mfA).

working with inter-nationally renowned lon-don-based architects foster + partners and architect of record, Boston-based cBT/childs Bertman Tseckares Inc., Acentech consulted on architectural acoustics, au-diovisual systems design, and mechanical system noise and vibration control for the additions to the museum.

The new 121,307sf Art of the Ameri-cas wing features a central glass building flanked by two pavilions of glass and gran-ite. The Ruth and carl J. Shapiro family courtyard, a soaring glass structure enclos-ing one of the museum’s two courtyards, is adjacent to the Art of the Americas wing. measuring 12,184sf and 63 feet high, the spectacular light-filled gathering place, where visitors can meet, relax, and dine in the café, affords year-round enjoyment of the outdoors and also serves as a venue for special events.

To ensure that the acoustics of such a large and reverberant space would be suit-able for events and presentations, Acentech used a powerful tool, called auralization, to demonstrate the acoustical characteristics of the courtyard.

Using computer modeling and signal processing techniques, Acentech’s acous-tical consultants transformed architec-tural drawings into an aural rendering of the space (an “auralization”) that allowed the design team and the mfA to hear the acoustics of the courtyard before it was even built. In the acoustical model, Acen-tech placed sounds that typified the kind of events that mfA would host, such as

musical performances of various sizes and volumes, and party noises ranging from a small cocktail gathering to a large formal dinner.

This rich library of sounds was used to auralize or model the courtyard for the ears, thereby allowing the mfA and the de-sign team to make confident and informed design decisions regarding the acoustics of its space.

To accomplish the mfA’s functional and aesthetic goals for the courtyard, Acen-tech recommended that acoustical treat-ments be incorporated into the design to accommodate these future events.

In addition to acoustical modeling, another critical element of Acentech’s work was ensuring intelligibility of speech during events in the courtyard.

A standard loudspeaker setup would create a cacophonic sound, so a sophisticat-ed loudspeaker system was designed and concealed inside the columns that hold up the glass structure. An array of specifically designed loudspeakers steer the sound in a controlled dispersion pattern, directing the sound to people’s ears on the floor rather than blasting sound throughout the space.

John moriarty & Associates of Bos-ton served as general contractor and con-struction manager for the project.
