Michael Barnes HP’s Mark Kelly joined the SMPS Boston “Live, Work, & Play” tour to see a sampling of the diverse Innovation District in Boston’s Seaport neighborhood. In 1999, the city of Boston outlined a plan to enhance the Seaport area and transform it into a vital, mixed-used neighborhood.

The first stop in this tour was Watermark Seaport. Designed by Stantec, for Skanska Commercial Development, the 300,000sf project is composed of two buildings joined by a common lobby.

It is composed of 346 rental apartment units, full amenities package, and 25,000sf retail.

Providing insight along the way was James Gray, registered architect and senior principal with Stantec Architecture, and Eric Weyant, who led the design for Watermark Seaport’s units.

Next stop was the 125,000sf Fish & Richardson at One Marina Park

Steve Basque and Ashley Poage of Stantec

Newton, MA – As the Class of 2016 crossed the threshold of their academic lives, it was time for Memorial Church to undergo its own transformation. Designed by university architects Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, and dedicated in 1932 on Armistice Day in memory of those who died in World War I, the church had last undergone renovations more than 30 years before.

“Elaine Construction is honored to have been selected to team with Harvard University and Payette for the renovations and upgrades to such a significant and central building to the Harvard Community,” said Lisa Wexler, Elaine Construction president.

The ceremonial ground breaking, which took place on June 13, marks the start of long-deferred building and infrastructure maintenance, including

accessibility and safety compliance upgrades; a reconfigured lower level; and a new climate-control system to allow for improved use of the church year-round.

In addition, the renovations will bring the church up to Harvard’s green building standards.

The event was attended by President Drew Faust; Professor Jonathan L. Walton; Plummer Professor of Christian Morals, Patricia Harrington; Director of Finance & Administration for the Office of the President and Provost, Ed Jones; organist and choirmaster, Harvard University; Lisa Wexler, president of Elaine Construction; and Todd Sloane and Charlie Klee of Payette.

Scheduled for completion before the new year, the upgrades will ensure service to the growing community.

Serenity Apartments Topped Off

Lifting the beam

Serenity

Jamaica Plain, MA – City and Boston Redevelopment Authority officials joined elected officials and Jamaica Plain neighborhood friends and neighbors recently to celebrate new Serenity apartments’ steel structure topped off by members of the building trades, including Local 7 Ironworkers.

A large steel beam, painted white and signed by workers and others attending, was hoisted to the top of the new residential building, with U.S. flag and traditional “roof tree.”

Serenity will consist of 195 residences on the previously vacant 1.1-acre site. The building steps up from five stories along Jamaica Way to 13 stories along South Huntington Avenue, with a courtyard in between. The building’s design will also offer views of Olmsted Park for pedestrians on South Huntington.

The architect is Prellwitz Chilinski Associates of Cambridge. Landscape

design, including design of the interior courtyard, is by Copley Wolff Design Group. Leasing and property management is by Greystar. The general contractor is Suffolk Construction. The lenders on the project are US Bank and Parse Capital.

The low-rise component will contain 32 premium units overlooking Olmsted Park.

Construction is steel frame with a brick, glass, and metal panel exterior designed to complement the neighborhood.

The project will consist of approximately 246,186sf of gross building area including the 106 parking spaces and retail space.

During construction the materials will be primarily from local suppliers, thus decreasing the transportation costs and emissions. During construction there will be a high level of waste management with a focus on recycling.

The residences on South Huntington Avenue will open in spring 2017.

parents who have come together to work toward the common goal of investing in our children and our town’s future.”

The new school will feature stateof-the-art technology systems, security, and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.

It will also meet accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project team includes Collier International – Project Management Northeast as the owner’s project manager (OPM); Gilbane Building Company as construction manager; Consulting Engineering Services (CES) as mechanical/ electrical/plumbing engineer; Szewczak Associates as the structural engineer; Design Professionals Inc. as civil engineer; and Milone and MacBroom as the landscape and environmental consultant.

Rendering of Port Healthcare Center/Ranere Associates

Newburyport, MA – Nauset Construction broke ground and construction is now underway for the new Port Healthcare Center, a 123-bed skilled nursing facility that will replace the antiquated existing building with an expanded and modernized healthcare center.

In addition to long-term residential care for elderly residents, the new facility will provide short-term accommodations for those requiring rehabilitative and sub-acute care services following surgical procedures such as hip and knee replacements.

The project team includes owner/ developer Whittier Health Network, construction manager Nauset Construction and architect Ranere Associates. People’s

United Bank provided $17 million in funding for the center.

Designed by Reading-based Ranere Associates Inc., the 62,000sf, two-story building will be constructed on the site of the existing parking lot, and not only will expand the capacity of the current 100-bed facility, that earned a Five Star rating in 2014 from Nursing Home Compare, but will allow for an even greater level of quality patient care while upgrading the center’s safety, security, and communication systems. Following completion, residents will be transferred to the new building while the existing facility will be demolished to make way for a new parking lot.

Focus: Retail and Hospitality Modular Construction and Hospitality Design Why Today’s Hotel Developers are Considering the Move to Modular healthcare, office and administrative, retail, and institutional.

What is modular construction?

by Harry Wheeler

Ever evolving, the hospitality industry continues to adapt to changing conditions and the adoption of new design and construction trends. Today, hotel developers are experiencing escalating construction and land costs, lengthening construction timelines, and the diminishing quality of construction.

As such, modular construction has been gaining a solid reputation as an innovative building approach for the hospitality design community due to its many benefits including speed, quality, practicality, and cost — and coupled with its success in other market areas including commercial and multifamily housing, education,

Modular construction is an efficient building process that assembles materials or components of a building in an offsite location. Commercial modular buildings are nonresidential structures built in a controlled manufacturing environment, which are then transported and assembled at the final building site. This can include the entire building or components of a larger structure. Modular contractors typically work hand in hand with traditional general contractors to leverage resources and take advantage of each type of construction approach.

What does the process look like for the hospitality industry?

This building technique is best suited for new build hotel construction. However, it is increasingly being used for extensions or annexes. Modular construction is a sustainable turnkey solution that dramatically reduces construction time and de-

Because of the factory environment of the initial build, it further helps ensure that all elements of the module are constructed to current hotel brand standards using approved materials, fixtures, and furnishings. Again, having a collaborative relationship with the modular contractor and bringing him or her into the process as early as possible is key to the success of the project.

What are the different applications for hotels?

There are various ways modular construction can be applied to hotel development and construction.

Full modular: Entire guest rooms are assembled offsite and installed onsite. Every element of the room can be prefabricated and replicated including the walls, windows, carpet, fixtures, accessories, and even the artwork on the walls. This is particularly helpful for hotels looking to emulate their portfolio properties and adhere to brand standards.

Partial modular: Portions of a guest room, like a bathroom, are assembled as a pod. The pod is then placed into the traditionally constructed building guest rooms with all electrical, plumbing, and mechanical connections.

System kits: Electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems are manufactured offsite and kitted. For example, a guest room electrical panel system is made with continued to page 41

Hilton Garden Complete JC&A, CSM, and Group One

It’s hard to heal patients in a dirty environment.

Hilton Garden Inn in Marlborough

Marlborough, MA – J. Calnan & Associates (JC&A), CSM Corporation, and Group One Partners recently completed the ground-up construction of the new Hilton Garden Inn. The newest hotel in the area, Hilton Garden Inn Boston/Marlborough is owned and managed by CSM and is located in the thriving Marlborough Hills development.

The upscale business hotel offers 160 rooms and suites; 4,800sf of flexible meeting space; a full service BLVD restaurant and bar including two corporate private dining spaces; fitness room; pool; conference facilities and breakout rooms.

The Hilton Garden Inn Boston/ Marlborough totals 105,000sf and was built using steel and wood-framed podium construction.

Tourneau at Copley Place Complete Patient care is complicated. It gets harder when contaminants from the materials, process and workers involved in construction are introduced.

That’s why the Carpenters union has developed “Infection Control, Risk Assessment” (ICRA) with national leaders in construction, health care and infection control. It’s a comprehensive certification program that teaches carpenters to recognize and avoid creating environments that hamper the healing process. Ask for ICRA-certified carpenters for your next project.

Tourneau, Copley Place in Boston

Boston – Hirsch Construction Corp. recently completed the Tourneau store at Copley Place.

The 3,300sf boutique tenant fit-up has numerous finishes and an Italian limestone storefront complete with four iconic world clocks, which required an enormous amount of synchronization with time and materials.

Marty Flanagan, HCC’s site superintendent, championed the effort, working closely with a variety of different millwork vendors for the delivery and installation processes. The coordination of materials from Spain, the intricate millwork involved for each specific boutique, and the specialty lighting for each boutique posed a challenge.

Dyer Brown Delivers Tapestry

The Expo Kitchen

Bar and banquette seating in the Club Room / all photos by Jared Kuzia

Boston – Tapestry, located at 69 Kilmarnock Street in the former Church restaurant and music venue, recently opened in the Fenway neighborhood and brings a fresh new perspective to the lively area’s dining experience.

With two separate concepts under one roof, this husband-and-wife-led, 217-seat restaurant is divided into two sections — the Expo Kitchen and the Club Room.

Enjoying the two styles of cooking — casual and fine dining — the dual concept not only appeals to multiple types of diners but creates endless opportunities

for their ever-changing menu.

Designed in collaboration with executive chefs Meghann Ward and Kevin Walsh as well as principal owner Marlena Ward, Dyer Brown carefully interpreted each of their visions into one, cohesive design. Although the two spaces are aesthetically very different, both designs and menus were heavily influenced and inspired by the couple’s passion for travel.

The front of the restaurant, known as the Expo Kitchen, embraces the space’s natural light and exposed brick.

A subtle sea-inspired décor, including

overhead “sea urchin” lights, yellow-, blue-, and white-striped banquettes, and a countertop with broken “sea glass” wrapping around the restaurant’s open kitchen all help to create this casual and inviting atmosphere.

A dimly lit corridor leads patrons to

sculpture graces the middle of the dining area, installed atop a custom-designed booth, where the guests can enjoy a 360 degree view of the lavish work. This 3D piece of artwork is made of gold and bronze-finished washers, that are fused together to create the overall figure, and is accompanied by oversized collages on the surrounding walls.

Corporate Art Group’s collages, created from figurative poses and Providence skyline imagery, were printed on aluminum and installed with hidden brackets, to give the illusion of freefloating artwork. Rignanese strategically placed the collages on key walls, in hightraffic areas, selecting different gloss finishes based on the room atmosphere and light proximity.

Capobianco and Rignanese worked closely with Mezzo’s management to develop an art package that reflected an idea of sensuality and sophistication flowing throughout the entire restaurant, bar areas, and dance floors.

The idea was to ultimately assist in creating and portraying a new brand developed by Primecut/Mezzo. When it comes to hospitality, the environment is everything. Guests want to be wowed and inspired!

Retailers Going Solar is Good for Business

by Steve Bianchi Few areas of the country use more energy than New England, which is why our region must look to alternative energy to both decrease costs while improving our environment. At Solect Energy, we pride ourselves on installing more than 32 megawatts of commercial photovoltaic systems across New England. With an expertise in the development, installation, and management of smart solar solutions for businesses and organizations, we’ve worked tirelessly to reduce energy costs for our region’s industries while also cutting our collective carbon footprint.

One dramatic way to help the economy and the environment is to offset retail energy use with solar. Since most retail stores are open seven days a week — a full two days more than other commercial businesses —their energy needs can be significantly greater.

Last year, we worked at Milliston Commons, a shopping center in Millis,

Mass., where we provided a broad solar solution to help dramatically cut their bills for lighting, cooling, heating, and other uses in common areas, particularly parking lots, which contribute to even greater amounts of energy use since they remain lit even when the businesses are closed.

To help Milliston Commons lessen its energy load, we installed a 653 kilowatt (kW) roof-mounted system to cover 100% of the common area’s electricity demand.

In addition, the installation covers 100% of the electricity demand for a number of the mall’s stores including Kidsturf, Twist Bakery and Café Inc., a laundromat, and the Rosenfeld Law Office. The owner of Milliston Commons and the solar array, who also owns and operates Rosenfeld Law Office, estimates a savings of more than $130,000 in the first year.

The owner of Milliston Commons was also able to take advantage of both state and federal tax incentives, including Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), which are earned by solar system owners based on the amount of energy they generate per quarter. SRECs are ultimately purchased by electrical utility providers in Massachusetts to help meet their state-mandated goals of a percentage of power coming from renewable energy sources.

SREC revenue, along with offset

Milliston Commons

electricity costs, provides the shopping center with significant savings and it, in turn, passes the discounted energy along to tenants, allowing them to keep costs down and expand business with help from the resultant savings.

The conversion to solar reaps benefits for the retail space and its tenants while also appealing to consumers who are conscious of sustainability issues. It’s a win-win for the retailers, helping to cut costs and enhance its brand.

Managing energy costs in New England and confronting climate control remain pressing issues for the region. Going solar

is a great way to reduce overall energy costs in addition to meeting sustainability goals. By completing work at commercial retail buildings like Milliston Commons, we’ve doubled down on our mission to increase energy efficiency across the region, while prioritizing the bottom line for numerous local business owners.

That’s good for business — and good for our environment.

Steve Bianchi is the senior vice president of customer services and one of six partners at Solect Energy, a New England leader in supplying commercial solar solutions.

IRONWOOD Completes Idle Hands Craft Brewery

Reclaimed warehouse windows

The Idle Hands Craft Brewery

Malden, MA – Malden welcomed its firstever microbrewery, Idle Hands Craft Ales, in July. Chris Tkach, founder and head brewer, needed to relocate his brewery from Everett.

IRONWOOD, of Malden signed on to design and fit out the 5,000sf space.

To reinforce the notion of production,

materials with a warehouse or factory feel were selected. Polished concrete floors, sleek, black epoxy countertops, and utility style lighting anchor the space.

Design elements include reclaimed warehouse windows, a feature wall clad with wood from pallets that transported brewing equipment, and a bar front

covered in red metal roofing — a nod to their branding. IRONWOOD also created artwork from a variety of Idle Hands’ beer labels and bottle caps.

The brewery has a taproom for tasting and is open for customers, also serving sandwiches and pizza from nearby restaurants. To engage with their new community, Idle Hands sold naming rights to their bar stools to 14 lucky patrons who will receive the ultimate VIP treatment.

This business is a great addition to the city of Malden, offering a unique and comfortable venue for socializing and tasting great, locally brewed beer. Shop local rings true for this project.

Improving the Customer Experience with Energy Efficient Upgrades Retailers must keep a constant read on their customers’ perceptions and experiences to maintain a strong bottom line. While upgrades to aesthetics are obvious investments retailers can make to positively impact the customer, creating a more energy efficient environment can also considerably benefit the customer experience.

United Illuminating provides programs and services through the Energize Connecticut initiative to help businesses strategically manage energy use—making them more efficient and providing long-term cost savings. The added bonus comes with upgrades and improvements that create a more attractive and comfortable retail space.

New Haven’s Grand Fish Market depends on 24 hour lighting, seven days a week. Using no-interest financing and financial incentives available through the Small Business EnergyAdvantage program, the specialty seafood retailer made improvements to lighting and to refrigeration equipment late last year.

Upgrading to all LED lighting brightened up the fish market, significantly improving the look. Replacing dairy case fans and producing case curtains and fans also helped make the operation of equipment more efficient. The combined measures are estimated to save Grand Fish

Jose Cuapio, owner of Grand Fish Market in New Haven, CT

Market 18,698 kWh annually, translating to $3,365 in annual savings.

“We always try to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly and I love that these updates save us energy and money,” said Jose Cuapio, owner of Grand Fish Market. “Making the changes was seamless, which is important, there was no disruption to the business.”

Energize Connecticut programs connect businesses with resources to achieve smart energy solutions by Mystic Seaport

identifying areas for improvement, finding qualified contractors and vendors, and providing incentives and financing to support updates.

Energy-saving improvements can reduce operating costs by addressing key areas of building and maintenance. A range of energy-efficient measures and improvements are available, including upgrades to lighting, heating and cooling systems, refrigeration, and natural gas.

In another recent project, the franchise

owner of multiple Connecticut Dunkin Donuts locations took on lighting and refrigeration replacement to help create a more attractive and brighter feel. ”The lighting upgrades give a different look to our locations, it’s much cleaner and provides better lighting for customers and for our employees.” Frank D’Andrea, franchise owner.

“Maintaining efficiency is essential for cost-conscious operations and long-term sustainability in the highly competitive retail industry,” said Dennis O’Connor, Small Business Energy Advantage program manager at UI. “The custom energy solutions we present to retailers are intended to make store improvements and equipment upgrades tangible to help reduce operating costs and ultimately enhance the overall customer experience.”

Retailers like The Wine Emporium in Shelton, CT, have an opportunity to realize significant savings when addressing efficiency in core operations needs. Upgrading walk-in coolers to refrigeration systems with electronically commutated motors (ECM) reduces energy consumption. Combined with LED lighting upgrades, The Wine Emporium is expected to save about 41,692 kWh annually, providing cost savings of more than $7,500 annually.

“We need to stay competitive in the foodservices business and Energize CT allows us to do that with ease.�

Dave Petrone, Owner/Manager, Riverview Bistro

Riverview Bistro knows the recipe for success.

The Stratford restaurant sits on the picturesque banks of the Housatonic River, serving up contemporary American cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. Just as using only the freshest ingredients is key to their success so is running an energy efficient restaurant. With support from Energize Connecticut’s Small Business Energy Advantage program, Riverview Bistro was able to greatly reduce operating costs.

Program engineers helped the restaurant identify several energy-saving measures, including refrigeration and motor control upgrades. They also offered technical guidance on a complete lighting overhaul. Riverview adopted energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the interior, converted the exterior incandescent lamps to LEDs, and enhanced the restaurant signage with LEDs; these changes alone translate to an estimated $13,749 annual savings.

Riverview Bistro also received a generous incentive from the Energy Efficiency Fund, making the upgrades possible.

Additionally, Riverview Bistro received zero percent on-bill financing which realizes no up-front cost and the monthly energy savings frequently off-set the loan payments. The measures will be paid off in forty-eight months while providing energy savings.

Raising All Boats:

Exploring the Economic Interdependence of Hospitality, Transportation, Construction, and Communication

by Nancy Greenwald

Connecticut is a vibrant, beautiful state with a rich array of natural beauty, cultural resources, restaurants, and retail venues. These resources enrich our lives every day and strengthen our economy by drawing nearly three million visitors to Connecticut’s major attractions in the summer months alone.

Tourism accounts for $14 billion of revenue in Connecticut annually. That’s not to mention the value of business travel in the state.

Preserving and developing our natural and cultural resources requires effective collaboration among many sectors of our economy. The creation of aesthetically compelling, functionally efficient, and environmentally sensitive buildings requires the expertise of our design and

construction industry. A recent example is the five year $33 million renovation of one of Connecticut’s cultural jewels, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, completed in 2015.

Designed by a Connecticut based architectural firm and constructed by

Our marketing and communication industries are a vital part of the process.

The impressive new website launched by the Connecticut Department of Tourism, http://www.ctvisit.com is designed to help get out the word about Connecticut’s natural and cultural treasures.

The realities of the economy and budgetary pressures on the government mean that now, more than ever, the values of collaboration and innovation, and joint problem solving involving the hospitality, transportation, construction and communication sectors are the key to generating the solutions that will help raise all boats. a regional contracting firm, the award winning project* was described by the New York Times as a “masterpiece of renovation.’

Hospitality and tourism also require smoothly running transportation to attract visitors. “Travelers and economic growth are clearly best served by cooperative and collaborative relationships between those who formulate and implement public policies pertaining to highways and to travel and tourism.” **

Creative thinking involving the hospitality industry in multi-disciplinary brainstorming is needed. Innovative tourism can focus on preserving core values while creating opportunities for new adventures, new structures, and new jobs. Environmental tourism, history tourism, and boutique hotels offering tailored experiences are three such innovations. Changes in tourism practices can generate major benefits by motivating change towards greater sustainability

within the tourism supply chain and other sectors.

One Seaport Square, a Structural Perspective

An interview with Ellen Swanson, P.E., Senior Project Manager with McNamara Salvia, a creative structural engineering firm in Boston with offices in Miami and New York.

•

by Stephanie Wild One Seaport Square, at 1.1 million SF, is currently the largest mixed-use project underway in Boston. It consists of 832 residential units, 250,000 SF of retail, and 775 parking spaces, with a project budget of $650 million.

What makes McNamara · Salvia, the Engineer-of-Record for One Seaport Square, different from other structural engineering firms?

I interviewed Ellen Swanson, Senior Project Manager for One Seaport Square, in McSal’s Boston office to find out.

Stephanie Wild: How would you

describe your role in this project?

Ellen Swanson: There are many roles!

First, you need to understand and work with the owner’s concerns on how the structure is affecting different program space. But on this job there are three owners: Boston Global Investors, The Berkshire Group, and WS Development, all with individual concerns and project scope that requires collaboration in order to meet the end goal. Then there is the design challenge; on this project you have retail tenants such as

www.high-profile.com

Equinox gym, ShowPlace Icon Theatre, and Kings bowling alley - all with individual structure concerns, and all sandwiched between a residential tower and a garage. Add to Ellen Swanson that support needed for a rooftop pool and terrace. Structural columns want to stack; however, residents want thoughtful living space; columns need to be ideally placed for retail tenant’s business; and drive aisles need to be devoid of columns in order to make a project like this work. The true magic is working with all of the different design teams to ‘cover up’ the structural systems.

If this important aspect of the building can be hidden and buried in the wall and ceiling, then it is a win for all.

SW: Any challenges or complications with this project?

ES: There were a few unique challenges

in mitigating both sound borne and human induced vibrations on this project.

Spaces below the apartments such as a gym and a movie theater, wanted to be ‘soundproofed’ from other retail spaces

and from the residential living portion.

The idea is that people don’t want to be able to hear or feel what is happening in an adjacent space. We ended up working closely with Acentech, the project acoustical consultant, to jointly create a unique design solution consisting of an isolated concrete slab hung from the residential framing above the theatre to create a four foot void air space for noise control. It was the first time I designed a slab solely for acoustical means, with no structural value! But it worked.

SW: How would you describe the team environment?

This project has a great group dynamic. It’s been exciting and intensive;

ES:

things seem to happen all at the same time, but I really enjoy coordinating with other disciplines. Also, I took to heart a part of a speech that one of our company’s founders, Joseph Salvia, once said: “We need to think of ourselves as businessmen and businesswomen, not just engineers.

Any engineer can overdesign a building so that it is safe, but it costs a lot of money. We need to push ourselves to understand that a project has to be a successful business deal before it can become a building.”

I apply that quote to my work and push myself to economically solve challenges each and every day.

Stephanie Wild is the Marketing Director at McNamara · Salvia.

Corporate Maugel Completes The CCS Companies HQ

Norwood, MA – Maugel Architects has completed the 40,000sf interior renovation of The CCS Companies headquarters located in Norwood.

This is Maugel’s third project for The CCS Companies, a business process outsourcing organization.

On the first floor, Maugel designed a new lobby featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a glass and stainless steel stair rail that maximizes light into the space.

With a nod to sustainability, interior window frames and floor-to-ceiling glass from CCS’ previous location in Newton were incorporated into the design. The addition of a welcoming lobby and reception area, expanded restrooms, and multiple glass-wall conference rooms add sophistication to the space. In the openarea call center, low-profile workstation panels were used to maximize light and views to the exterior.

CCS conference room

The executive office suite, board room, administrative offices, training room, and breakroom are located on the upper floor.

To give the entry a greater presence, Maugel designed a new clear anodized aluminum curtainwall highlighting the new interior stair and main entrance. The exterior stairs and ramp were replaced and refreshed with a new aluminum railing system.

Other team members include Equity Industrial Partners and Integrated Builders.

The new building, located at 725 Canton Street, previously housed multiple tenants who shared a dark common lobby, corridor, and stair. Maugel designed a three-floor renovation transforming the space into a modern, light-filled headquarters for CCS.

Taunton, MA – Spectrum Integrated Technologies (Spectrum IT), the lowvoltage division of J&M Brown Company, has completed the comprehensive tel/data and security system projects at the new 307,000sf Boston Globe printing plant in Taunton.

In the tel/data project, Spectrum’s team of six IBEW Local 103 technicians provided the installation of more than 400 tel/data stations, the build-out of seven new intermediate distribution frames (IDFs), and the facility’s new state-of-the-art data center. The project includes connectivity of copper and fiber cable installations to the Globe’s five new printing presses.

Project features include installation of five new IDF cabinets 20 feet in the air, attached to steel beam columns due to the size of the warehouse. Each of the IDF cabinets are connected with fiber and copper feeders which run back to the main distribution frame. Thirty wireless units are installed in the ceiling rafters, controlling some of the robotics that move paper rolls and various products

Senior/Assisted Living Brightview Assisted Living Facility Complete

Brightview assisted living

Canton, MA – Brightview assisted living in Canton is a 160-unit facility that includes 95 independent living units, 40 assisted living units, and 25 Alzheimer units.

Florence Electric completed a designbuild turnkey installation consisting of power distribution, generator, lighting, and

fire alarm system. Kaydon IT provided the telecommunications wiring infrastructure and low-voltage systems including door security, cameras, telephone, data, television, and audio-visual. In addition, Florence Electric installed the final connections for all kitchen, servery, pub, and café equipment.

Project manager, Laura Caron, and foreman, Jim Gartman, highlighted Kaydon’s solution to approach the install for the facility’s E shape. “Due to the size and shape of the building and the location of the main utilities, our challenge was to install all power distribution feeders and tele/data feeders to satellite rooms

via underground access through the courtyards (as the crow flies) rather than running in the building overhead, down corridors, and around to the other wings.”

The community of Canton now has a Class A assisted complex on the old AA Will gravel pit site.

Providence RI – South Coast Improvement Company, a design-build general contractor of Marion, Mass., recently finished work on stylish new apartments on 32 Custom House Street in downtown Providence, R.I. The historical building originated in the 1800s and now features 11 luxury apartments and a retail space on the first of five floors.

The South Coast team began with a completely gutted building that had

been damaged by a fire. Everything from full MEP finishes to HVAC needed to be impressive and high quality, without exceeding what most would consider a tight budget.

In addition to the challenges that tight budgets pose, South Coast Improvement was restricted by many guiding requirements that keep the building up to historical society standards, and in just nine months, the team completed its work.

Barnat Builds Mixed-Use Project Beverly, MA – Barnat Development has been designated by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority as the successful bidder for 112 Rantoul Street, a parcel of land located adjacent to the Beverly Depot Garage. Barnat is planning a mixed-use, transit-oriented rental project with 70 units and 3,000+ sf of retail space. The project will utilize the existing parking in the MBTA garage to serve the new residences and retail.

“Beverly is a wonderful city with a firstclass walkable downtown and convenient access to job centers,” said Sarah Barnat, principal of Barnat Development.

The development will be a luxury residential building with new ground floor retail. It is anticipated that 12% of the units will be designated as workforce housing with capped rental prices for middle-income households. Although the retail tenant is not yet identified, the space will be designed to accommodate a café or gourmet food store.

The project’s total capital investment is approximately $20 million, and permitting is expected to occur this fall.

Sarah Barnat

“The MBTA has long planned for the Beverly Street Depot Garage site to be a model Transit-Oriented Development project,” said Mark Boyle, assistant general manager of real estate and asset development, “With the designation of Barnat Development, we can now move to the final stage of creating great housing and retail opportunities.”

U of ME New Master Plan

Perkins Eastman and Wilson Butler to Design

Boston Arts Academy Boston, MA – The Boston office of international design and architecture firm Perkins Eastman/DPC, in association with Wilson Butler Architects, was recently selected to design the new Boston Arts Academy by the city of Boston and the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA).

and only high school for the visual and performing arts.

“I had the opportunity to be part of the selection process, and I was blown away by the team’s in-depth understanding of the BAA community—our values, our program, and our aspirations for our students,” said Anne Clark, BAA U of ME Farmington Perspective/rendering by The Cecil Group/Harriman

Boston Arts Academy is Boston’s first and only high school for the visual and performing arts.

During the initial phase of the project, the team will conduct a year-long feasibility study for a phased renovation and rebuild program within the academy’s existing building — originally constructed in the 1920s as a post office warehouse — and site on Ipswich Street in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood.

Boston Arts Academy is Boston’s first

headmaster. “Most impressive to me is the team’s commitment to including the community in the process, particularly students, in a very meaningful way.”

The current state of the facility limits the school’s ability to carry out its unique arts and academic program and serve as the only audition-based arts high school in BPS.

Portland, Maine - Harriman and The Cecil Group were recently selected by the University of Maine System to undertake facilities master planning across all of its seven campuses.

Harriman and The Cecil Group are collaborating with Goody Clancy and Rickes Associates on master planning, campus planning, and in-depth facility programming.

The University of Maine System is a state-wide enterprise comprised of more than 500 buildings and 9 million gross square feet across thousands of acres.

The plans will be comprehensive and long-range in nature, tied to strategic direction and planning of each campus.

They will also be responsive to current

requirements, and sufficiently define and address the future development needs of each campus as Maine’s universities seek new opportunities through a strategic focus on their strengths.

The Cecil Group will perform master planning and facilities planning across the University System in a unified effort with all campuses. Part of Maine’s One University Initiative, planning activities at each individual campus will develop a site-specific identity that integrates with the system as a whole. The University intends for this master planning effort to build community engagement, provide opportunity for input, and for constituents to have an awareness, understanding, and stake in the outcome.

Marr’s Summer Enrichment at Harvard

by Riley McGovern and Katherine Marr Marr Scaffolding Company’s mast climber and scaffold divisions have been involved in a range of Harvard University campus improvements this summer.

Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government

The Kennedy School of Government is modernizing its campus by creating new teaching spaces, common spaces, and upgrading the courtyard. General contractor Lee Kennedy Company contracted with Marr to install three F200 Hydro Mobile mast climbers for use by multiple trades for the installation of paneling, drywall, and masonry work on the exterior perimeter of the school. Mast climbers were the ideal work platform for this project given their versatility in configuration and ability to be loaded with tools and materials on a single platform.

Both single and twin units were installed by tower crane to provide easy access for all tradesmen.

In addition, Marr has designed a scaffold configuration on top of the new Winter Garden, an elevated central courtyard, that will be protected from the elements by a glass ceiling, creating a year-round indoor-outdoor area. The scaffolding will allow workers to perform

Lee Kennedy Company, recognizing the optimal access the scaffold configuration has allowed the subcontractors to perform their work, has further contracted with Marr to stage the remainder of the building’s exterior façade as the project progresses.

designed and installed 427 linear feet of sectional scaffolding ranging in height from 30 ft. to 80 ft. with multiple custom configurations built on the slate roof to access the hard-to-reach lintels. Debris netting will wrap the building’s exterior to prevent unwanted access and to protect passers-by.

Marr Scaffolding is working for Folan Waterproofing at Andover Hall installing sectional scaffolding to provide access for needed masonry restoration. Built in 1911, Andover Hall is Harvard’s only example of what is known as the Collegiate Gothic architectural style — a style that can challenge even the most experienced scaffold installers. Marr

Healthcare Design Modernization Project for EMMC

Main entrance drop-off

Boston – E4H MorrisSwitzer Environments for Health recently announced details about its ongoing architectural projects that are facilitating the modernization of Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC).

The EMMC modernization project is focused on creating opportunities for the Bangor-based hospital to adapt to emerging technology and modern procedures while accommodating increased demand on a limited footprint.

In early June, EMMC opened its new main entrance (the Penobscot Pavilion), a NICU, and cardiac care unit.

“Eastern Maine residents and hospital staff will see some major enhancements to the facility including a 361,000sf patient tower,” said Dan Morris, partner, E4H MorrisSitzer Environments for Health. “This project incorporates the latest advances in evidence-based design. Views of nature, natural light,

decentralized nurses’ stations, adaptableacuity single patient rooms, patient lifts, and respite areas for patient families and staff are all incorporated into the design of the new tower.”

The patient tower is being constructed by a construction management joint venture between Cianbro Corp.

(Pittsfield, Maine) and Brasfield & Gorrie (Birmingham, Ala.) and will open in 2017.

The tower will support a new main lobby, cafe, heart and vascular care space, surgical suite, NICU, two floors of private patient rooms, and a newly renovated labor and delivery center.

The new facility will also include 14 operating rooms with pre-op and PACU, as well as a new sterile processing department.

Two of the new operating rooms will be hybrid ORs equipped with advanced medical imaging devices, enabling minimally invasive surgery. The design of

these areas focused intensely on infection control, taking into account the carefully orchestrated workflow of the surgeons and staff, as well as creating a separate, dedicated sterile pathway for supplies and instruments. The spaces are connected to the existing ambulatory surgery department, creating one of the largest, most comprehensive surgery centers in the state.

Portland, ME – Construction is underway for the renovation and expansion of Asylum, a 15,600sf live music and restaurant facility in downtown Portland.

The project was designed by WBRC Architects Engineers in collaboration with owner’s consultant, Alex Gray, and the owners.

Located in a tight site footprint in Portland’s Historic District, the facility will remain partially operational while construction is completed by Consigli.

The existing 1960s building footprint is being expanded horizontally and vertically for a total area of 24,500sf, doubling the concert occupancy to 1,000.

The exterior design grounds the building in strong existing masonry site elements, and contrasts it with modern aperture highlighting the event space.

Landscape/Civil Copley Wolff Design to Head Restoration of Old North Church Garden Boston – Copley Wolff Design Group, Inc. (CWDG), a Boston-based landscape architecture and planning firm, is leading the landscape design on the garden restoration of a historical Boston landmark, the Old North Church.

Copley Wolff created the design plans that supplemented a larger grant proposal submitted by the Beacon Hill Garden Club on behalf of this project. The Garden Club of America has awarded the Beacon Hill Garden Club, which oversees the church’s garden, with the Founders Fund Award, a prestigious grant in the amount of $30,000.

The Old North Church is Boston’s oldest standing church and most visited historic site, attracting approximately a half million visitors each year. The Beacon Hill Garden Club will use funding from this grant to begin implementation of Copley Wolff’s landscape design concepts to enlarge the garden’s entrance, introduce trees and planting varieties of historical significance within raised plant beds, and incorporate more seating. The project will also include the construction

and installation of a large glass-and-water feature, on which Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, Paul Revere’s Ride, will be engraved.

The Founders Fund Award will be instrumental in getting the project started this fall. The team is aspiring to have the

Restoration & Renovation Acella Renovates Historic Church Hingham, MA – Acella Construction Corporation will provide construction management services for the historic circa-1847 Hingham Congregational Church.

The $3 million renovation will carefully balance the need to repair the building’s aging infrastructure while respecting and preserving the house of worship, located at 378 Main Street in Hingham.

When the original cornerstone of the building was laid on July 19, 1848, a zinc box containing historical church documents was also buried on the site.

Unsuccessful attempts to find the time capsule were made at special events in 1947 and again in 1997. The project’s extensive sitework at the front entrance may increase the likelihood that the time capsule will be discovered. A new time capsule, highlighting important themes of HCC’s 2016 church life will be presented at the groundbreaking ceremony and later buried.

The project began with a simple goal to make the building more accessible and welcoming. “The addition of a

handicap ramp was the catalyst for the project,” said Roger Hoit, prominent Hingham architect, and member of the

Product Stay Cool With Hot Products

by Peter J. Davey

The dog days of summer are here. Temps are rising, AC units are cranking, and utility bills are increasing with every degree Celsius or Fahrenheit. Driving throughout New England, I see curtains drawn, shades down, and blinds closed during the best part of our bright, sunshiny days.

As president of American Window Film, Inc. and one who works with architects and interior designers, I know how disappointing it is to realize that efforts to showcase extraordinary views through architecturally and strategically placed windows cannot be appreciated fully behind window treatments. Indeed, sun beating down upon windows causes indoor environment heat gain and nuisance glare. However, professionally

installed solar control and low-e window films are “hot products” engineered to beat summer’s heat gain without compromising those views that are often the reason properties are leased, purchased, and highly valued.

Solar control window films and low-e (short for low emissivity) work differently.

Solar control films focus on the solar energy spectrum. In order for solar films to be effective, window glass needs exposure to sunlight. Low-e window films address radiant heat and are designed to reduce the transfer of radiant heat from one side of window glass to the other rather than allowing the glass to absorb it. Radiant heat is based solely on the temperature of an object, i.e., window glass.

There are innovative window films on the market today that include both sun control (solar spectrum) and low-e (radiant heat) control benefits. These films reduce the solar energy entering a building and are additionally engineered to help prevent the transfer of radiant heat from one side of window glass to the other. Utilizing different technologies, window films with both solar control and low-e properties increase energy

close to that of a triple-pane. They achieve this at a fraction of the cost, disruption, and time required to replace existing windows. Architects, interior designers, and their clients will appreciate the high optical clarity of these highly engineered and innovative window films, while they perform well in all climates and deliver value-added, uncompromising views.

The following may be helpful when considering window film for a particular application. Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) measures the effectiveness of a film in preventing solar energy from entering a building. Emissivity is the ability of a material to emit or absorb radiant heat and is only one of the variables used to calculate the U value of a window.

U value represents the amount of heat that passes through a square foot of glass in 1 hour for every one degree Fahrenheit temperature difference between interior and exterior environments, a measure more consistent than emissivity within the window and window film industries. The lower the U value, the better insulated the window or window film.

conservation by helping to reduce heat loss during colder months and heat gain during warmer months. This makes them an effective year-round window film for our New England climate.

Building owners and property managers should consider radiant/ solar heat control films as insulation for windows. A single-pane window loses 20 times as much heat as the same area in an adjacent well-insulated wall. This leads to nearly 30% of all energy used to heat and cool buildings (and homes) going out the window. These highly engineered window films can improve the insulation value of a typical single-pane window to close to that of a double-pane; a double pane to

Optimized Exterior Shading: When it’s Worth It

by Emma Van Lieshout

Exterior shading, when used correctly, can be extremely effective in optimizing the use of natural daylight, mitigating potential heat gain, and increasing occupant comfort. The usefulness of exterior shading depends on several factors, such as building size and orientation, function, location, and site conditions. Even in conditions that appeal to occupants’ comfort at points during the year, it is important to understand how energy is used to condition the thermal load brought in through glazing, and how at times it can cause more energy to be used to operate the building.

The Cambridge Public Library, in Cambridge, Mass., combines several innovative forms of exterior shading

to maximize effectiveness. The library, designed by William Rawn Associates and Ann Beha Architects, and MEPFP services performed by Vanderweil Engineers, utilizes the first double-skin curtainwall façade in the United States.

Popular in Europe, the double-skin façade is made up of an interior and exterior fully glazed curtainwall, three feet apart, and two stories high.

The thermal flue between the two glazing layers captures the heat gain from the sun and prevents it from entering the building. In the summer, this heat is exhausted from the building, and in the winter, the heat is trapped and acts as a thermal blanket to help insulate the building. Furthermore, operable windows in the interior façade allow natural ventilation when the outdoor temperature is moderate. Also located between the double-skin curtainwall are one-ft. horizontal louvers which adjust to the sun’s angle and provide glare reduction and shading. On the exterior, laminated glass visors act as additional sunshades, as well as adding architectural features. The building is oriented to face southwest, and

all other façades are well insulated with less glazing. South-facing façades benefit most from movable shading to adjust to the sun’s angle in the sky during the different seasons and times of day. As the use of energy is based solely on conditioning the thermal load on the building, exterior shading makes a big difference for the comfort of the occupants.

Internally driven buildings and buildings that need simultaneous heating and cooling are among those for which exterior shading will have little effect beyond glare reduction, and in some cases have a negative impact on energy. For example, Vanderweil Engineers, with the assistance of HOK, performed a feasibility study on an academic lab building in Pennsylvania. Exterior fin length and ceiling heights were evaluated to provide

adequate daylight to the core and reduce glare on the perimeter spaces. An energy model analysis was also done to estimate the annual energy cost savings yielded by comparing the project building with and without vertical fins. The building with vertical fins on the northwest façade performed worse than the building without fins, in regards to both annual energy usage and energy cost. This is due in part to the effect of the fins blocking solar radiation, or free heating, in spaces such as laboratories that require a large amount of outside air for ventilation, and require heating after the local equipment has called for cooling.

There are many factors to consider when deciding if exterior shading is worth the investment. If the building is internally driven, with high ventilation requirements and equipment density, or significant occupancy loads, exterior shading would only have the effect of glare reduction, and as in the case above, could hinder the energy performance of the building. For an externally driven building with low equipment density and occupancy, exterior shading could have a positive impact on both thermal and visual comfort while optimizing daylighting. It is also important to note the path of the sun and building rotation so that building azimuth angle and shading façade can be optimized to make the largest impact on energy. If all the factors come together, exterior shading could have a positive effect on both building occupants and energy.

A New Approach to Maximizing Human Potential in the Built Environment

by Alex Lopatynsky

The health and wellness movement that we are experiencing in America is part of a new and more integrated way of looking at human performance and wellbeing. In recent decades, our lives have become less active and more stressed. Individuals spend more hours at work; children spend more time interacting with a variety of screens and devices; we eat more processed food; we spend less time outdoors.

Given that individuals spend more than 90% of their time inside, the built environment has an increasingly profound impact on our health, happiness, productivity, and well-being.

As development, design, and construction professionals, we all know the difference our work makes in creating positive and productive environments. More than a decade ago, a greater focus on green/ sustainable design became an important factor in our industry.

Now, in response to trends in current behavior, a new standard has emerged that focuses on maximizing human performance within the built environment.

Combining the accumulated knowledge of the past with new and compelling research, development and technologies, The WELL Building Standard provides an exciting dimension to the design and project development process.

Three senior members of the JCJ Architecture team were invited to participate and earn provisional accreditation through the first International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) WELL AP seminar. Initially

logical step toward a holistic approach to design.

As one of the first firms to have WELL-accredited professionals, JCJ is actively using the approach to add value for our clients by creating enhanced and beneficial experiences for the users of their buildings. The ultimate goal of the WELL Building Standard is to educate industry stakeholders about environments that contribute to human health and business performance by marrying the

This additional space can add up fast, increasing the overall footprint of the hotel to get the number of keys needed.

brands considering how to make modular construction a part of their future build processes. Marriott and Holiday Inn are two examples of brands reviewing their prototype drawings with this new construction method in mind. At Group One, we’ve been involved in several modular construction designs with different hotels to date. Given the many benefits of using modular construction to build smarter, greener, and faster, it’s unsurprising that the conversation around traditional versus modular design is gaining momentum. From what I can tell, we may be looking at a new way of building tomorrow’s hotels.

Harry Wheeler, AIA, NCARB, LEED, is a principal at Group One Partners, Inc.

Modular Construction and Hospitality Design continued from page 12 the required electrical panel and wiring runs to make all connections. Each kit is labeled for a specific guest room so it meets all requirements.

What are some of the pros and cons?

In the early stages of adoption among our industry, there seems to be many potentially positive impacts from modular construction. With that said, there are still some challenges to overcome.

Pros

Faster construction process: More streamlined and efficient use of skilled labor with fewer materials wasted.

Environmentally friendly: Less site damage, material exposure, and landfill waste than traditional methods of building.

Climate-neutral: Primarily occurring indoors away from harsh weather

conditions, modular construction prevents damage to building materials and allows builders to work in safer conditions.

Cons

Early commitment is required: Depending on when you bring in a modular contractor, if you wait too long you will potentially experience barriers to changing the schedule and streamlining your process. Start early. This approach begins at the design phase if you want it to be successful.

Nontraditional funding: In typical construction projects, the bank allows the developer to draw down funds when material is set in place and completed.

With modular, the bank has to release these funds prior to implementation onsite.

Creates larger buildings: To accommodate the joining of the modular

How will modular construction impact the future of hotel development?

Despite popularity and success in other key building markets, modular construction is still breaking ground in the hospitality industry. Right now, it’s hard to tell how large of an impact it will have on the hospitality design community, but we are seeing an influx of hotel

The 2016 Engineering Excellence Awards were announced at the recent ACEC/MA Engineering Excellence and Awards Gala.

Michael Baker International, with world headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was retained by the Connecticut Department of Transportation to serve as program manager for the CTfastrak, the state of Connecticut’s first bus rapid transit system.

The system offers the speed of a rail system with the flexibility of bus service.

BSLA Design Challenge Winners

JM Coull Sixth Diamond Award

(l-r) Project manager Evelyn Wendell and marketing manager Laura Burch accept JM Coull’s sixth Diamond STEP Award.

BSLA winning design “Akimbo,” bench islands created by Sarah Carrier, ASLA

Boston – The first BSLA Design Challenge was won by Sarah Carrier, ASLA, with her project “Akimbo.” Over the summer, she will be working with the design and manufacturing team at Walpole Outdoors readying Akimbo to take center stage at New England Grows beginning November 29.

Carrier is a playground design consultant at Goric Playgrounds. Her passion is playground design, and she says that someday she will write a book on the subject. She built a pattern wall and magnetic ball run out of Azek and

is excited for an opportunity to design another interactive piece with the same material.

Carrier has worked at a Boston-area landscape architecture and engineering firm prior to joining Goric.

The Award of Merit was given to Andrew Louw, ASLA, for his project “Spirograph.” He is a landscape designer at Beals and Thomas, Inc. in Southborough.

Both Louw and Carrier will be recognized at the open house on September 22 at Fairsted.

Maynard, MA – JM Coull (JMC) has been awarded its sixth consecutive Diamond Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Award by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).

Diamond is the highest level of safety that can be attained by contractors through ABC, and JMC was the first contractor in New England to receive this prestigious honor. The company has received 14 combined Diamond, Platinum, and Gold STEP awards in previous years.

To qualify for the award, the company had to meet stringent safety criteria established by ABC, such as maintaining an excellent Experience Modification Rate and Total Recordable Incident Rate 50% below the industry average.

With the addition of the 2016 Diamond STEP Award, the company has 24 awards recognizing its safety program.

The award was presented on May 19 by

ABC Massachusetts/Gould Construction Institute of Woburn, Mass. JMC was one of only several contractors to receive the Diamond Award.

“Safety is at the cornerstone of everything we do here at JM Coull,” comments executive vice president Chris Oldham. “We work very hard to maintain a high level of safety on all of our projects – it’s not something for which we simply ‘check a box.’ In this industry, too many things can go wrong, and our goal is to prevent accidents by educating our employees, subcontractors, team members, and clients in proper behavior and the potential consequences that can arise when protocol is not followed.

JM Coull is honored to once again be recognized by ABC and the Gould Construction Institute for our unwavering commitment to safety.”
