The Jewett House project is a full renovation of a 1913 3-story home that will be home to the Dean of Harvard.

The house abuts the Center for World Religions building at Harvard and requires careful communication and coordination to complete the project.

We were pleased to tackle a challenging project for the Park Street School that involved building a new three-story addition within the confines of their courtyard to add two new reading labs and admissions space for the staff.

Undertaken during Salem’s bustling Halloween season, this project presented unique challenges that were handled with exceptional precision and management skills. We successfully navigated the complexities of working in a live, dynamic environment, ensuring minimal disruption while maintaining our commitment to quality and efficiency.

The Spear Hall project was a renovation of the East and West wing lounge and study spaces. The project consisted of 8 lounges utilized by students at the university.

The 24-ton Chiller project requires extensive coordination and testing to ensure the equipment is up and running properly. The team has tested the equipment’s ammonia detection, supervisory alarm, and chiller settings, all of which are running as designed. An important element of the chiller is connecting the air intake cooling coil to a mixing valve. The team was required to raise the temperature of the cold glycol from -37 degrees to 50 degrees shifting between cold and hot glycol systems. Once the 24-ton chiller is up and running, it requires a few days to dial in the chiller settings and ensure everything is ready for use.
