The Ragon Institute needed to expand their original 61,000 sf multi-disciplinary research facility to meet the needs of their current immunology research programs. This expansion encompasses 9,000 sf of space for offices, open wet labs, and a 13 hood BL2 Tissue Culture lab on an adjacent floor to their current labs.

Upon the 100 year anniversary of the landmark Greater Boston YMCA structure on Huntington Ave., the Y commenced the complicated process of rejuvenating their facility to accommodate a modern operation. A segment of the building was demolished to make way for construction of a new Aquatics Center, locker rooms, gymnasium, and offices. The historic building is being renovated to bring it into code compliance, provide full access and better orientation for all members, restore historic elements such as the central skylight, and replace mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems. The 66,000 s.f. of new and renovated space allows a greater breadth of programming opportunities as well as safer, more healthy and enjoyable spaces for community activity.

19,000 sf renovations and site planning for a YMCA wellness center located in a historic railroad engine house. An entire new second level has been added to provide a large Wellness Area over the lower level ChildCare classrooms and community meeting spaces. The large multipurpose room can be divided with an operable wall to form two separate studios. The spacious fitness area has a soaring ceiling exposing the original heavy timber roof trusses, and equipment users have views out over the adjacent 18-acre park.
