BUILD NEW ENGLAND AWARDS PROGRAM

WELCOME TO THE BUILD NEW ENGLAND AWARDS PROGRAM SUPPLEMENT

T

oday, with all of us facing many challenges, the concept of teamwork in building tomorrow’s facilities is even more important than in the past. The Build New England Awards program recognizes those project teams for their collaborative approach to planning, designing and building facilities that meet the vision and goals of the owner and enhance the community in which the project resides.

I want to thank all of the firms that answered the call for submissions for the 2011 AGC Build New England Awards. This is a juried awards program, comprised of professionals from all facets of the built environment. They have spent many hours, individually and jointly, to arrive at their award selections. To the jurors, AGC offers a special thank-you for all the time and effort that each displayed during the process of heralding these high-performing teams.

The entries represent a wide spectrum of firms, project teams and facility types completed over the last two years. Some of these projects are very large and complex, while others may be smaller in size, but highly valued by the owner or the constituency that it serves.

The AGC Awards program was begun in 1981 and continues to praise those teams of owners or developers, primary design firms, contractors and key subcontractors for their collaborative efforts toward the successful completion of the project.

Build New England is just one of many programs that AGC has initiated to foster better communication and collaboration within the industry.

We will continue to advance industry practices with all the individuals who participated in this event and with the many allied associations and professionals with whom we work.

AGC would also like to recognize our partners and sponsors who make this program possible: our Build New England Corporate Partner, Hinckley Allen Snyder; Technology Partner, Imaginit Technologies; AGC Sponsors, Duane Morris LLP, Eastern Insurance, and long-time Awards sponsor, Holland & Knight, LLP. AGC is also proud to have partnered with Banker & Tradesman in producing this supplement, which gives the teams that are represented in these pages an additional dimension of recognition.

Congratulations to all the entrants and the winners of this prestigious awards program.

GRAND HONOR AWARD

PROJECT BOSTON HARBOR ISLANDS PAVILION OWNER HARBOR ISLAND ALLIANCE PRIMARY DESIGNER UTILE, INC. CONSTRUCTOR TURNER CONSTRUCTION SUBCONTRACTORS S&F CONCRETE / SHAWN KELLER / VALLEY CREST The Boston Harbor Islands Pavilion is the first structure built on the Rose Kennedy Greenway and a joint effort of the nonprofit Boston Harbor Island Alliance and the National Park Service. In addition to the dual client base, this project involved the coordination of a host of Boston and Massachusetts agencies, because of its space on the Greenway and its position on top of the Central Artery Tunnel.

The Pavilion was conceived and designed to bring the energy and excitement of the nearby Harbor Islands into the middle of the city at a place where millions of visitors, residents and workers pass by annually. Two sculptural concrete and steel roofs define a compelling porch-like space in the middle of the Greenway where people can learn about the islands by interacting with park rangers, view ferry schedules and buy tickets to tour the islands.

The engineering and construction involved careful coordination with MassDOT to ensure building loads and construction equipment were carefully managed, so as not to exceed the loading limit of the tunnel roof. The shallow site, with less than four feet in some places between the ground and the top of the tunnel, resulted in extremely tight tolerances for the construction of all of the below ground infrastructure. The thin wing-like roofs, a composite structure of steel and concrete, required close coordination between Turner, Utile, SGH and a range of subconsultants to develop a construction and formwork strategy.

Photovoltaic panels on the roof supply the building’s energy and water collected from the roofs irrigate the lawn areas. The Pavilion was designed using computer modeling techniques which aided in the communication efforts necessary for the successful completion of this project.

The original Cambridge Public Library was considered to be a bold and modern example of public architecture when it was designed in 1887. The current restoration and 76,000-square-foot addition reflects the progressive and contemporary character that is the building’s heritage.

The LEED silver certified project features a newly landscaped, restored City Park, and an underground parking garage covered by an intensive, 33,000-squarefoot green roof. Celebrating the city of Cambridge’s deep commitment to sustainability, the building’s main façade is a transparent double-skin curtain wall. It is the first U.S. project that incorporates all key ingredients of advanced European double-skin curtain wall technology.

The community process was instrumental in shaping the design of the project and included as many as 50 community meetings, mandated by the city, to ensure a highly inclusive public process for this significant project. Additionally, the community review process involved over 100 meetings with the various groups within Cambridge.

PROJECT CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC LIBRARY RESTORATION AND EXPANSION OWNER CITY OF CAMBRIDGE, MASS. DESIGNERS WILLIAM RAWN ASSOCIATES, INC. WITH ANN BEHA ARCHITECTS CONSTRUCTOR CONSIGLI CONSTRUCTION SUBCONTRACTORS JOSEPH GARTNER USA / WAYNE J. GRIFFIN ELECTRIC, INC. / P.J. KENNEDY & SONS

The Cambridge Public Library has been a centerpiece of the cultural fabric of Cambridge since the initial donation of land from a local philanthropist. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the library is the second-oldest active facility in the United States. It has undergone this multi-million dollar restoration and addition to ensure it continues to serve the public for generations to come.

“Use of informal off-site lunches appears to have helped develop trust and collaboration among the team members. The ‘client’ was actually countless Cantabrigians and representative authorities, governing and advisory groups. The team met the needs of the community well. The intensive design process allowed for everyone to engage.”

PROJECT MASS. GENERAL HOSPITAL LUNDER BUILDING OWNER MASS. GENERAL HOSPITAL PRIMARY DESIGNER NBBJ CONSTRUCTOR TURNER CONSTRUCTION SUBCONTRACTORS AA WILL CORPORATION / SULLIVAN & MCLAUGHLIN / J.C. CANNISTRARO Massachusetts General Hospital houses some of the most innovative medical equipment, designed to solve the most challenging of health care issues, and the construction of the superior Lunder Building marks a significant addition to its vast array of facilities. Working in downtown Boston’s constricted site also required challenging and innovative approaches to the successful completion of this facility, which is seeking LEED gold certification. Design elements included a green roof with a peace and healing garden, reuse of water for irrigating the roof and use of bamboo in the wood veneer and as plantings.

The effort to design and build this 10-story (above ground) and four-story (below ground) complex required very early planning over a two-year period prior to the start of a three-year building project. As part of the ongoing process, a subgroup of project team members and clinical staff was developed to establish standards, baselines, and progress monitoring for various concerns such as noise, vibration and airborne particulates.

Another group of team members and key representatives worked together to coordinate construction with hospital operations. The collaboration of this group integrated MGH’s goal of the patient coming first with the project goal of building the highest quality facility on schedule.

“This is a fine example of a professional approach to a highly complex and challenging program, combined with physical and structural impediments and limitations.”

— JUROR

“Prior to the addition of this facility, the program constraints on the existing hospital were reaching near capacity. Delivering this project as expeditiously and effectively as possible was of critical importance.”

“Superior project, excellent team work and collaboration throughout with the contractor going above and beyond to work with the clients and user groups.”

— JUROR

A collaborative approach developed by the owner and architect permeated the project. The team, comprised of the designers, owner, physicians, nurses, patients, families and researchers, came together to begin formulating the design. The construction team was brought on early in the conceptual stage to add to the team and offer building expertise.

Coordination of deliveries and the myriad of regulatory bodies was key in maintaining the complex schedules. To ensure vibration-free areas in the new building, a slurry wall sleeve was constructed to shield the facility that houses sensitive patients, instruments and research. A five-level bridge connects the new clinical floors to the existing building research laboratories, thereby allowing the delivery of genuine bench to bedside cutting edge research.

Standards were established for idling

equipment and reducing hydrocarbons for all subcontractors, and these standards became a model for Greater Boston Breathes Better and earned a Merit Award from the EPA (clean diesel) for previous work by Walsh at Dana Farber.

From the team’s dedication to reducing carbon emissions, to executing a world class safety program to participating in a multitude of DFCI/Jimmy Fund fundraising community events, the team did whatever was necessary to meet the owner’s needs while keeping the job moving forward on schedule. The results of this teamwork were impressive and the project was completed two months ahead of schedule and on budget.

Rockport had a dream to build their own world-class performance center after years of renting facilities that fell short of their standards. This new oceanfront performance center replaces an historic building on the main street and reflects the design of the former building. Inside an intimate 330-seat concert hall integrates the beauty of the site with an expansive glass curtain wall behind the stage and facing spectacular water views.

Shalin Liu Performance Center is built on a ledge-filled, oceanfront site sandwiched between commercial storefront buildings in a popular tourist district.

Construction ceased during times of high tourist season, which allowed the process to take place during the cold months of the year. The shell of the building has no 90-degree corners or straight walls, in order to diffuse the sound within the concert hall.

The team actively engaged user groups in understanding their needs, engaged in a fundraising event, leased an off-site parking area for construction parking and laydown, protected the waterfront, worked with the local chamber of commerce to create branding materials, and installed custom signage and white scrim to minimize visual impact of construction.

Value engineering was a team effort between the owner, architect and constructor involving weekly meetings or conference calls. Accepted value engineering proposals saved 8.6 percent of the original construction cost. This process was particularly challenging to achieve given the number of nonnegotiable features required to build a specialized, world-class performance center.

Ocean House has been a beloved icon of the Watch Hill area of Rhode Island since 1865. The “yellow hotel” underwent at least six additions over the years, substantially increasing its original size. During that time, many schemes were planned for expansion and alternate use, but were ultimately set aside. In the end, the decision to move forward to save and replicate the hotel won out. The team took care to salvage as many original elements as possible and incorporate them into the new Ocean House. Precise details of unsalvageable items were catalogued and designed to fit into the new space.

The main goal, according to a spokesperson for Ocean House Management, was to “ pay homage to the original hotel and its Victorian-style architecture and design … while incorporating all of the amenities of current five-star hotels.” The 156,000-square-foot hotel, which is a third larger than the original, now includes two new wings to accommodate modern upgrades. Modern amenities include private residences, farm-to-table cuisine, a spa, and event space.

PROJECT ARCHSTONE AVENIR, BOSTON OWNER TRINITY FINANCIAL PRIMARY DESIGNER ICON ARCHITECTURE, INC. CONSTRUCTOR DIMEO CONSTRUCTION SUBCONTRACTORS IPSWICH BAY GLASS / SALVUCCI MASONRY / PAVILION FLOORING Archstone Avenir is the first development to emerge from the elevated MBTA Greenline. The mixed-use transit-oriented development reclaims a 400-foot-long urban block to weave the West and North End neighborhoods back together.

Although not joined by mutual contract, the team members – developer, architect and contractor – worked together throughout the design and construction to deliver the best mixed-use development possible for the cost and time allowed.

The challenges were exceptional. The foundation was, in essence, the MBTA’s North Station. Acoustic isolation was necessary to dampen vibrations from the trains below.

The access to the trains had to be preserved during construction; the building process had to be scheduled around TD Banknorth Garden performances and games; and because of the location, just-in-time delivery schedules were required to minimize traffic interference.

“This project is absolutely a model of collaboration, constructive communications, and strong management among an experienced team. It appears that mutual trust and respect were key to this project’s success as the project team worked under new ownership that required design and construction changes to accommodate the new developer’s interests.”

PROJECT MIT E62/SLOAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT OWNER MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PRIMARY DESIGNER BRUNER/COTT ARCHITECTS CONSTRUCTOR WALSH BROTHERS, INCORPORATED SUBCONTRACTORS SULLIVAN & MCLAUGHLIN COMPANIES / J.C. HIGGINS COMPANY / CENTRAL CEILINGS INCORPORATED This flagship facility creates a new front door for the MIT campus and strong identity for the School of Management. The project was ten years in the planning. The formation of the design and construction teams early in the preconstruction phase facilitated an integrated approach to the design and construction process. In addition, MIT sponsored formal partnering sessions to assist the team in understanding competing goals and developing enhanced problem solving on the job. With the goal of reaching LEED gold certification, the design of the facility included cutting-edge, environmentally sound, and energy efficient building materials, like chilled beams.

The 215,000-square-foot facility with underground parking garage on the waterfront of the Charles River posed significant challenges, as did the unknown conditions of neighboring MIT buildings and soils that had not housed structures in the last hundred years. Obstructions in the soil, including buried caissons and pieces of old waterfront wharfs, required immediate removal, and hazardous materials were discovered in the soils. This led to a filtration system for all water from the hole to ensure hazardous content was extracted before disposal.

Understanding the importance of MIT’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, the team worked diligently toward the goal of achieving LEED gold.

“Our beautiful new building has already been tremendously successful in fulfilling our original goals – to bring together all of our faculty and enhance their intellectual collaborations … It has always been clear to me that we had one collaborative team – contractor, architect and campus staff – with one goal.”

“This project was undertaken in a highly competent manner and executed efficiently. The care and planning to avoid compromising the interiors and users of the State House are apparent in the review of this entry. Projects of this sensitivity need attention to each and every component and detail, and it appears the team was able to accomplish this.”

— JUROR

The spotlight was on this project from day one. The site is not only an historic icon of the Commonwealth, but it is also occupied by its leaders and visited by numerous individuals from across the country. The main “Great Hall” is often used for official state functions and receptions and the building contains priceless artwork and historical memorabilia.

Keeping the building watertight at all times was of paramount importance. The project included the removal and replacement of the copper roofing and skylights, upgrading mechanical and electrical systems, and replacement of architectural woodwork and windows, while minimizing the disturbances to the business of the building. The integration of historic roofing materials and modern photovoltaic panels was well-conceived and executed.

As with many renovation projects, there were unforeseen conditions that challenged the team. They maintained an open, continuous dialogue in order to facilitate the handling of these elements.

Since there was no storage area, materials and equipment needed to be moved daily. The team developed an aggressive but realistic schedule that was communicated throughout the project on a regular basis. The result of this coordinated effort allowed the team to complete the work seven months ahead of schedule, even though over two months of work were lost due to weather.

The Center is a six-story multi-purpose facility that serves as the social center for the campus of Framingham State University. The building, built in 1976, required updating, expansion and reconfiguration to accommodate the needs of a growing student and faculty population.

The McCarthy Center project’s success, phased over a six-year duration, depended upon the project team’s ability to communicate and truly collaborate with each other. Many of the team members had worked together before, shared similar working styles and were familiar with company cultures. There was trust of the expertise that each brought to the project and the team worked toward a common goal – a high-quality project, safely executed on schedule and budget.

Much of the project was done working in occupied areas with students and faculty throughout the facility. Additionally, major scope changes were issued that did not alter the schedule completion date.

During the construction, it was discovered that the existing exterior wall was unstable and the entire brick skin had to be removed and reinstalled. Safety concerns during construction were paramount and much care was given to the brick removal while keeping the student center operational.

Utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) to create the building during the yearlong preconstruction phase mitigated any potential constructability issues prior to construction. BIM allowed the team to increase accuracy on planning and sequencing the project by linking the schedule to the BIM model. The project was completed on a fasttrack, 18-month schedule. Safety was a main concern as the campus was occupied. There were weekly walk-throughs of the site and safety inspections. Brown University and the Providence community were extremely interested in this high-profile project’s progress.

There was a live webcam set up to update everyone in real time on the progress of the building and on-site community boards were established to provide insight into the progress. In keeping with the Brown philosophy of environmental sensitivity, this project is targeting a LEED gold certification.

“From the beginning of the process, Shawmut understood this complex project’s vision for the creation of an innovative, interdisciplinary home for research, teaching and production.

The building’s extraordinary design, created by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, required an intensive preconstruction process focused on design review and value engineering … The facility functions today as the creative center of campus.”

PROJECT CONCORD FREE LIBRARY OWNER TOWN OF CONCORD, MASS. PRIMARY DESIGNER JOHNSON ROBERTS CONSTRUCTOR C.E. FLOYD COMPANY, INC. SUBCONTRACTORS LEONARD ELECTRIC / MJ CATALDO / A&M ROOFING

The intent of the Concord Free Library project was to completely renovate the small historical building, but maintain the look and feel of the old. Attention to detail was paramount in this restorative design and construction project.

In an effort to restore the library accurately, the team successfully researched and located the original drawings to ensure that details remained true to the original structure.

They salvaged what could be saved and replicated what was necessary. A wet basement was converted into usable finished space. The team updated mechanical and electrical systems, added ADA-compliant walkways, ramps and elevators and brought the library up-to-date. The site was tight and in a residential area, so great care and planning were necessary during construction to minimize disruption, dust and other inconveniences to the neighbors.

“This relatively small project was carefully planned and executed without much disturbance and delivered to the West Concord community as promised.

The care used to address abutters’ concerns is indicative of a ‘smalltown’ approach that more projects should adopt. The fact that ‘Friends’ and trustees aided in the process is emblematic of this. A nice project, well delivered!”

The opening of the Ambulatory Care Center, a nine-story patient care and research facility for the University of MA Medical School and UMass Memorial Health Care Center, ushered in a new model of academic medicine that combines world-class patient care with world-class research to benefit the health of residents across Central and Western Massachusetts.

Initially, the project team began work on a core and shell for a five-story building. However, after the start of the project, UMass Memorial Hospital became the major tenant, requiring a significant change in size and scope. The new scope added 100,000 square feet and additional program needs.

The project team signed onto a partnering approach to resolve issues. They utilized a web-based project management system that permitted all key stakeholders the ability to retrieve project information when it was needed 24/7. The budget and schedule were maintained while accommodating additional requests for early occupancy of floor space.

The extensive site work on the constrained, sloping and narrow piece of property required patience, leadership and attention to detail – all of which your team possessed in abundance. … I always felt that we were part of a team and it was our collaboration that made this project such a success, resulting in a first of its kind facility for 100 individuals to proudly call home.”

PERFORMANCE AWARD

The mission of Park87 was to execute a large-scale test on the forward-thinking housing ideas of developer Ling Yi Liu, with a design and construction team dedicated to innovative and lean construction practice. Park87, located close to public transit and area shopping and services, is a “smart community.”

The facility includes 54 one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations with movable in-unit walls that include electrical and communication cabling. The individual units were comprised of 76 modular pieces factory-built in Maine under strict engineering tolerances and transported to a designated site for storage and sequential crane-setting operations. The logistics included exact timing of the modular unit lifts via crane, and coordination of police, city and other officials during the process to avoid pedestrian and automotive traffic.

SPIRITO, INC. / SHAWNLEE CONSTRUCTION LLC “Cost constraints were severe and the market prospects uncertain. Instead of waiting for times to get better, AbodeZ chose to challenge our design and construction team to build better, quicker, less expensively while giving our residents more choice. Our ambitious targets could not have been achieved without extensive collaboration and close coordination between Tocci Building Corporation, Khalsa Design Inc., KBS Building Systems and the AbodeZ development team. Together the team demonstrated that a collaborative process can overcome significant challenges in a timely manner and very cost effectively.”

Congratulations to the MIT Sloan School of Management Team and the DFCI Yawkey Center for Cancer Care Team.

BUILDING

The Elliot at River’s Edge is a 258,000-square-foot, four-story facility with urgent care and one-day surgery center, laboratory services, and 966-car parking garage with a pedestrian bridge to the ambulatory care center. The project is a clear example of how more upfront planning, ongoing team collaboration and utilizing smart technologies can lead to the successful delivery of a project.

STRONG MINDS

The early use of Building Information Modeling minimized design conflicts and clashes during the construction process, which eliminated constructability change orders, saving significant time and money.

“Strong leadership early in the planning process resulted in a collaborative, teamoriented working environment. Your meticulous planning and impeccable quality control, from preconstruction through project completion, led to a seamless integration across the entire project team. No matter what the challenge, your team recommended strategies and solutions that met our accelerated schedule without ever sacrificing the design intent of the building.”

“Large conversions of industrial buildings are always challenging – there is constant and progressive discovery of building elements that must be addressed. This team certainly met the challenges head-on. The willingness of the contractor to continue working throughout the period of financial uncertainty is a testament to trust, commitment and dedication to the project.”

— JUROR The Lofts at Perkins Park included the renovation and restoration of two mill buildings built circa 1875 into a multifamily community. The project is situated in a residential and commercial neighborhood of fully tenanted buildings, day care center, UMass Lowell housing, the Tsongas Arena and the Spinners Baseball Park.

The project team is testimony to what can be accomplished when working together. The team worked as one to address and adapt to every challenge that arose, including the economic crisis and resulting bank failure, the need to adhere to a tight schedule to utilize tax credits from the state and federal historic tax credit programs, strict historic preservation requirements and multiple structural challenges.

Although the major challenge to the project was a precarious financial position, the project proceeded throughout the refinancing process admirably.

Due to the age of the buildings and the extended period of unattended vacancy, the state of disrepair was significant and there were no accurate plans to document existing conditions.

The team had many challenges that required unique solutions to develop an eyesore into a neighborhood gem.

PERFORMANCE AWARD

The renovation and restoration of Alumnae Hall represents the culmination of more than a decade of work undertaken by Wellesley College to remediate the western campus. What initially appeared to be a program of deferred maintenance and code compliance was expanded as new discoveries and opportunities in the building were revealed and enthusiasm for their revitalization grew.

Modernizing a 1920s building is not without its challenges, and doing it without compromising its historical character adds another factor to the mix. The on-site team worked with a motivated group of administrators, managers, faculty and staff to ensure that the design met the program and project goals could be executed in the field within the schedule and budget and with minimal disruption to daily campus activities.

Extensive reconstruction services and a detailed construction process with daily client communication marked this project. From changes in design to soil excavation and fitting modern systems into a tight existing space, the team worked together at every turn to navigate the most effective construction plan. Today, Alumnae Hall welcomes students, faculty and the larger community as a common ground for the arts, education and celebration.

SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS Safety is everyone’s business! When an incident occurs on a construction site, it affects not only the individual and the family, but also every member of the building team – developer, building owner, designers, subcontractors and constructors.

Creating a culture of safe work practices on the job site and throughout a company’s operation is an investment in the future of your firm and your employees.

It can decrease the likelihood of OSHA fines and costly litigation, create healthier, more productive workers and cut down on time loss and employee absences on the site.

AGC has an OSHA-certified trainer and safety consultant, Chris Ziegler, Director of Safety, on staff to assist you with all your safety needs: • On-site OSHA training • Third-party inspections • Job site risk assessment • Outsourced site safety • Post-OSHA inspection representation • Custom-written Health and Safety Programs
