“ Finally...Affordable, Genuine Slate”

Introducing TruSlate™

...affordable genuine slate from GAF-Elk, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. TruSlate™ can make your dream of adding (or replacing) a genuine slate roof a reality. That’s because TruSlate™ is:• Real hand-split quarried slate (not a synthetic imitation) • Affordably priced (often comparable to the cost of

imitation “slate”)• Perfect for remodeling (because it typically eliminates

the expensive structural modifications that old-fashioned slate requires)

• The right choice for traditional buildings (because it’s real slate!)

Note: Due to the inherent variability in natural slate (as well as the limitations of the commercial printing process), the actual color and texture of your TruSlate™ roof will vary from that shown here.

meridian launchesNew Site

Beverly, mA - meridian Associates of Beverly has launched a new web site at http://www.meridianassoc.com. The new format, designed for client convenience, encourages visitors to access information through a variety of categories familiar to people in multiple industries and sectors.

Keene, Nh - New hampshire chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIANh) and the New hampshire Architecture foundation (NhAf) announced the recipients of their jointly sponsored scholarship programs for New hampshire resi-dents.

$1,000 grants were given to michael Kulikowski of merrimack, who attends Virginia polytechnic In-stitute and State University; and Julie Rahilly, entering the wentworth In-stitute of Technology this fall. A $500 award went to michelle wood, also at Virginia Tech. Both Rahilly and wood are from Nashua.

Quincy, mA - more than 20 members of Boston’s commercial real estate com-munity braved the hottest day of the year to spend an afternoon sorting, lifting, and packing clothes and school supplies for children in need as part of NAIop’s fourth community Service Day.

held on August 18 at the cradles to crayons giving factory in Quincy, the day provided members the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and help package clothes and school supplies for the area’s neediest children.

Sponsored by A.w. perry, the half-day event was organized in partnership with Building Impact, and involved more than a dozen local real estate firms.

Volunteers began their shift with an

informal lunch fol-lowed by a brief training session by c2c staff, which included a presen-tation by a local organization that relies on c2c’s services. Volun-teers then split into teams, with one working to fill more than 175 backpacks with school supplies as part of the organi-zation’s massive Ready for School Drive.

The second

team sorted through a mountain of donated clothes, toys, books, and other items, orga-nizing enough donations to send at least 25 children back to school with proper season-al clothing. In addition, many volunteers brought additional school supplies, back-packs, and other donations gathered during in-office drives and private donations.

“A.w. perry is pleased to have spon-sored and participated with NAIop in this community service event,” said Kerri Spurr gallaway, A.w. perry’s Assistant Vice president, who came with several co-workers. “It gives us a great sense of fulfill-ment knowing that we were able to make a difference to this worthwhile organization that has such positive impact on children in our community.”

The event was organized by NAIop’s charitable Events committee.

NAIop helps children in Need

More than 20 NAIOP members and staff came together for an afternoon shift packing school supplies and sorting clothing and toy donations at Cradles to Crayons’ “Giving

Factory.”

Two volunteers sort through bags of donated clothing, separating by type, gender, and condition.

In our green News section “clean En-ergy: A fresh look at old Ideas” (page 22) chris clark points out an

important transformation in how the sustainability movement of the 90’s has come of age. we have watched as green building has gone from a new desirable development im-provement to a necessary ingredient to compete in facilities develop-ment. As clark points out, “invest-ments in clean energy are not only capable of reducing their top line expenses, but can provide an attractive bottom-line return for years to come.”

In “Breaking Down the Tower of Ba-bel” Rob watson notes “Research by the lawrence Berkeley National laboratory recognized that without proper monitor-ing buildings can lose up to 20 percent of their savings post-retrofit, which concerned many utilities at the height of the first wave of demand-side management programs in the late ‘80s. lBNl recommended the development of a protocol to ensure that ongoing building performance was staying close to the expected baseline.” *

Also, since the green movement be-gan we have encountered more evidence which point out, in many cases, that the problem of unsustainablity is even more serious than previously imagined. lEED certification has become increasingly man-datory in locations across the United States, and understanding of the new lEED 2009 (a.k.a. lEED v3) system promulgated by the United States green Building council (USgBc) is crucial. As of June 27, 2009, all construction projects seeking lEED certification must proceed under the new lEED 2009 system.

washington D.c. and Boston codes both require that all new private develop-

ments larger than 50,000sf meet at least the lowest lEED standard.

A recently enacted San francisco ordinance applies green building standards to new com-mercial structures over 5,000sf. **

High-Profile Monthly will be addressing old and new green

solutions though a new publication “green facilities Development” to debut as an an-nual supplement in November. The pur-pose of the publication is to focus special attention on decision makers in the green-ing of New England facilities as well as the people and companies who play a keyrole in carrying out their decisions.

“green facilities Development” will identify the sustainable institutional, edu-cational, biomedical, industrial, and com-mercial building projects in progress and the personalities active in their construc-tion.

It will do this through feature articles, news items, and informative interviews with a focus on sustainability attributed to owners and developers, architects and en-gineers, project managers and consultants, contractors, subcontractors and others.

If you have an interest in promoting your company’s green attributes e-mail [email protected].

Amherst, MA - ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge announced the dedication of four new residence halls designed by the fi rm for the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Dimeo Construction Co. of Providence, R.I. was the construction manager for the $93 million project.

UMass offi cials held a dedication ceremony in August for the opening of the 864-bed project known as the North Residential Area.

ARC completed the design of the four new apartment-style residence halls in September of 2005 and construction started in June 2005. Totaling 325,000 sf, the fi ve-story buildings were designed to relate to the earlier residence halls that incorporate brick exteriors, pitched roofs and dormers. A brick banding pattern

along with glass bay windows help to dif-ferentiate the new buildings from existing building s on campus.

Each unit includes four bedrooms with cable and Ethernet connections, two full baths, a common living room/kitchen area, a pantry, fl oor-to-ceiling windows, and air-conditioning.

“Seeing this building open is the realization of much hard work and creativ-ity on behalf of a great project team that included our staff, Dimeo Construction

and UMass personnel,” said Mark Dolny of ARC. “Working together, we exceeded the University’s goal of providing a com-munity for students who want the con-venience of on-campus housing with the advantages of a more autonomous living situation. These residences represent a new

housing prototype for UMass, one that will allow the University to stay competitive with other top universities from around the country.”

Situated on a 19-acre site, the build-ings are organized around two quadrangles to encourage a sense of community and collegiate competition among the houses. The complex is located near outdoor spaces to encourage use of nearby fi elds for intra-mural teams.

The project marked the fi rst new on-campus housing construction at

UMass Amherst since the early 1970s. The University now has 45 residence halls, however none are designed in the apartment-style layout of the new complex. The last residence halls built at UMass Amherst, the Sylvan complex, includes Brown, Cashin and McNamara halls, was completed in 1971. The oldest residence hall is Thatcher, built in 1935. With the addition of the New Student Residences, UMass now provides on-campus living space for approximately 12,200 students.

Pro Con Inc. is the Architect and Construction Manager for The Woodland Club at the Neighborhoods at Woodland Pond in Manchester, NH

Manchester, NH – Pro Con Inc is the architect and construction manager for the `Woodland Club at the Neighborhoods at Woodland Pond. The 6,358 sf facility is a planned amenity for the new development of 487 condominiums in North Manchester, which will be comprised of five distinct neighborhoods.

Waterford Development of Needham, MA is the developer of the planned community, which will include The Highland Homes of 75 single-family residences; Woodview Cottages at Woodland Pond, which will consist of 158 town homes; Overlook at Woodland Pond, which will include 40 town homes; The Carriage Homes, which will total 64 units in eight buildings; and the Residences at Woodland Pond, which will consist of two 75-unit luxury buildings with underground parking. Each neighborhood will be its own condominium and participate in a master association which will own the Woodland Club.

The Neighborhoods at Woodland Pond is an environmentally-sensitive development of distinctive homes adjacent to a 600 acre conservation preserve and the giant rhododendron forests of north Manchester. The community will offer the benefits of a country lifestyle and still have easy access to the city’s extensive shopping, dining and entertainment.

The two-story Woodland Club will serve as the social and recreational center

of the community and is designed to be an extension of their personal living space. The lower level of clubhouse will offer cardiovascular and aerobic workout rooms with women’s and men’s locker rooms, and a high-definition theater with stadium seating.

There will also be an outdoor pool, hot tub and cabana facility as well as two tennis courts that will serve the community. The first floor will offer residents many options for entertaining, socializing and relaxing.

The clubhouse’s great room will feature a cathedral ceiling, hardwood flooring, an oversized stone fireplace, comfortable seating options and two sets of French style doors that open up to a screened porch.

The library will provide a quiet respite with custom cabinetry, access to WIFI and a flat screen TV. The dining room will offer formal seating for up to 16 persons, crown moldings, and a built-in buffet area. The gourmet kitchen has been designed to enable guests or caterers to prepare full meals with easy access to the dining room.

Pro Con Inc. has designed the clubhouse to complement the classic New England style community. Plans call for the clubhouse’s exterior to have a stone façade on the ground floor level and clapboard on the first floor. Construction of the clubhouse began in June 2006 and Pro Con has scheduled a December 2006 completion date.

Boston, MA – TRO Jung|Brannen has raised more than $100,000 in four years to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The company’s fundrais-ing efforts started when michael Quinlan, an associate at TRo Jung|Brannen lost his father-in-law to cancer, and decided to organize a pan-mass challenge team and developed an auction to raise funds for the team.

This year seven riders from the firm completed the two-day, 190-mile bike ride; mark Jussaume, coo, pE, lEED Ap; Da-vid Deininger, principal, AIA, lEED Ap; Joe mamayek, principal, AIA, lEED Ap; mike Quinlan, associate, AIA, lEED Ap, pamela mace, associate, AIA, lEED Ap; Tara Redman, NcIDQ; and lesley hayes,

lEED Ap. The auction included the gener-ous support of industry peers, vendors, cli-ents and consultants and raised $31,500.

“we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk. Not only do we team with our clients to build hospitals to care for their patients, but we are also passionate about raising money to support their efforts to eradicate this pervasive disease,” said mi-chael Quinlan, associate, AIA, lEED Ap.

cambridge, mA - The steel framing that forms the future home of the cam-bridge Stake center for the church of Je-sus christ of latter-day Saints (lDS) was topped off recently, marking a critical point in the construction of the building as the final steel beam was lifted into place.

The project, overseen by consigli construction co., Inc., consists of a two-story, multi-purpose structure with class-rooms, offices and meeting rooms sur-rounding a double-height sanctuary space

in the center of the building. To the rear of the sanctuary is a

cultural hall, that will be used mostly for social activities or as an overflow room if required for larger holiday services. when complete, it will become the headquarters of the cambridge stake, representing a re-gional population of 4,000 mormons wor-shipping in 14 area congregations.

The 35,892sf project is scheduled for completion in february, 2010. The archi-tect on the project is Burt, hill of Boston.

Boston, mA - mayor Thomas m. Menino joined officials from the Boston Redevelopment Authority, massport and cresset harborside llc to celebrate the construction of Liberty Wharf – South Boston waterfront’s newest commercial project.

The $30 million liberty wharf in-cludes the construction of three new build-ings totaling approximately 70,000sf, mak-ing way for a new restaurant, additional office space and open space along the wa-terfront.

The east building will include 18,850sf of restaurant space that will be oc-cupied by legal Sea foods. The 50,000sf west building will house office space on the third and fourth floors with two additional restaurant spaces on the first and second floors.

Additionally, a small 1,500sf kiosk building with indoor and outdoor café seat-ing will be constructed adjacent to the west building and fish pier.

The project also includes an approxi-mate 570-foot extension of the harborwalk, as well as a public landing to support water taxis and charter fishing vessels, granting new public access to Boston harbor where no such waterfront access previously ex-isted. In total, the project includes nearly 50% open space for the public to enjoy.

consistent with the city’s new green building zoning regulations, the develop-ment team will seek LEED certification, as the buildings will incorporate energy and water conserving features, among other de-sign elements.

The liberty wharf development team includes Edward Nardi of cresset harbor-side llc as the developer and Elkus man-fredi as the architectural firm. Two compa-nies are overseeing the construction of the project – RDA Construction Corporation is constructing the wharf and John mori-arty & Associates is constructing the new buildings. The project is being financed by Sovereign Bank.

Andover, mA - consigli con-struction co., Inc. has completed the gut renovation of the phillips Acad-emy paresky Dining commons in An-dover.

The team of phillips Academy, consigli and Schwartz/Silver Archi-tects faced the challenge of preserving the building’s historic features while incorporating sustainable upgrades allowing the facility to pursue lEED certification for Commercial Interiors from the US green Building council.

The team took careful steps to preserve the building’s original details, including georgian Style paneling, chandeliers and murals, which were all carefully protected throughout con-struction. The team also restored the Alabama limestone walls in the foyer and stairways.

New centralized food prepara-tion and service areas were created on

both floors, featuring multiple serving stations and, on the first floor, a mas-sive hearth oven.

New space and light have been brought into the Dining commons, with 15-foot ceilings in the first-floor servery, and newly exposed windows at the back of the building.

The building’s lEED compo-nents include conventional recycled-content materials as well as a first-of-its-kind fume hood that saves energy due to its individually-controlled fan systems, a new standard in commer-cial kitchen efficiency.

High-efficiency kitchen equip-ment abounds, and the team achieved a recycle/reuse rate of 98.2 percent, with items like 68,000 lbs. of granite that once formed the steps of the pre-renovation commons becoming the curbing for the new student drop-off area.

Boston, mA - Environments at work has completed the installation of furniture for the Ec School in New York city. The school selected Environments at work to provide furnishings for 15 classrooms, four offices, two conference rooms, a teachers’ room, and a student lounge.

The Ec Schools are part of an orga-nization established in 1905 by Ethel Yab-sley and madeline Sceberras, who opened a small school for the children of British naval officers stationed in Malta at the start of the 20th century. The schools have loca-tions in london, cambridge, and Brighton, United Kingdom; cape Town, South Afri-ca; Boston, mass.; San Diego, calif.; New York city; and malta.

Environments at work collaborated with Ec Schools to select all of the furni-ture products for the new school, and de-signed the furniture layouts.

“with such a long history of Eng-lish teaching experience, Ec Schools has a well-developed understanding of what works for their students and staff,” said En-vironments at work Vice president patricia Tobin. “our design and customer service team enjoyed working with the school to select products that meet the school’s in-ternational, contemporary identity and pro-vide durable, high quality functionality.”

The architect for the project was Tpg Architecture, located in New York city.

New Milford, CT – A.P. Construc-tion company, the construction manage-ment and general contracting division of The Ashforth company, is on schedule to complete the canterbury School located in New milford by the end of September.

The 42,000sf project included the expansion and renovation of the school’s Steele hall. The hall houses the library, cafeteria and administrative offices and re-

mained open while under construction. High–sloped ceilings, exterior gran-

ite stone facing with limestone window surrounds, aluminum and wood frame inte-rior view windows, and wood wainscoting are architectural design features through-out the building. wood-framed panels were installed to the underside of the compound-curved existing roof/ceiling within the library.

A.p. construction also installed a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing system. Thermoplastic single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest grow-ing commercial roofing products and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance enhancements and in-stallation advantages. As demand increas-es for heat-reflective and energy-efficient roofing systems, this type of roofing mem-

brane is very popular due to its exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and chemi-cal exposure.

The architect of the canterbury School project is Butler Rogers Baskett of New York city, and the engineer is warner Tietjen from Rye, NY. A.p. construction’s team includes len Benigno, project man-ager, and superintendent mike Steadman.

Two Academic projects for payette feasibility Study for Um,

Teaching facility for hofstra UBoston, MA – Payette an-

nounced two recent academic com-missions.

At the University of massa-chusetts, Amherst, payette was se-lected to provide a programming and feasibility study for the schematic design phase of a new 16,000sf, energy-efficient greenhouse facility: Bowditch hall Research and Teach-ing greenhouses.

In addition to an 11,000sf greenhouse, the project includes a head-house support building, which may include potting rooms, labs, computer room, offices, storage and utility rooms.

The site will be created by de-molition and renovation of campus facilities that are more than 60 years old to create a new facility to support primary research and teaching for the Department of plant, Soil and Insect Sciences.

payette was also the designer

of the new 173,000sf Integrated Sciences Building on the Umass Amherst campus, which opened for classes earlier this year.

project team members include greenhouse Engineering, green-house consultant; R. g. Vanderweil Engineers, mEp/fp engineer; lim consultants, structural engineer; and Daedelus, cost estimator.

Additionally, payette is work-ing with hlw International to de-velop a teaching facility for the new hofstra University School of medi-cine in hempstead, N.Y. The project includes renovation of the former New York Jets administration of-fice and training headquarters into a teaching facility. The program calls for experiential learning classrooms, medical library, a large lecture hall, faculty offices and an anatomy lab.

by Brian McPherson, project managerBoston, mA - Suffolk Education be-

gan work on the new Boston Renaissance charter public School this summer. The Suffolk team is renovating an existing, three-story mill building and warehouse in the hyde park section of Boston and con-structing a 20,000sf addition that will con-nect the two buildings.

Suffolk has partnered with Janey construction management & consulting to form a uniquely strong and experienced management team.

The Boston Renaissance charter public School is the largest charter school in Boston, serving 1,250 students from 10 city neighborhoods. The school consists of the Kinder School, for grades K1 and K2;

the primary School, for grades 1 through 3; and the Elementa-ry School, for grades 4, 5 and 6. The new facility will include classrooms for each of these smaller schools on separate floors of the existing mill building.

The warehouse building is being renovated to house a gymnasium, a cafete-ria, a multimedia center, music classrooms and dance studios. The connecting addition will contain a new administrative wing, the K1 wing, a connecting corridor and sup-port facilities. In addition, the Suffolk Edu-

cation team will install outdoor play areas and a recess area which will encompass 3.2 acres.

The Suffolk team wanted to include the local community as much as possible in the building of the new school. In or-der to recruit local subcontractors for the school’s construction, Suffolk Education’s team held a town hall meeting at Suffolk’s training facility in Boston. The purpose of the meeting was to expose minority con-tractors to potential opportunities and en-courage their participation in the bidding process on this project.

Through these efforts, Suffolk was able to create opportunities for seven local minority subcontractors to work on various aspects of construction, including project

management, steel erection, site utilities, carpentry and cleaning. The team is also working closely with school officials potentially to employ parents of students who are either interested in construc-tion work or have construction experience. opportunities for two local residents through our walk-in application process were also cre-ated during these early stages of the project.

work on the new school is progressing as scheduled, and Suf-folk Education will complete the facility in time for the beginning of the 2010 school year.

Boston mA - The massachu-setts Renewable Energy Trust an-nounced funding approval totaling more than $3 million for high-perfor-mance green schools. funding is be-ing awarded to nine schools for solar photovoltaic (pV) arrays; six schools for green school design assistance; and one school for both green school design assistance and a solar pV array.

“going green has tremendous benefits,” said massachusetts De-partment of Energy Re-sources commissioner phil giudice, who chairs the Trust’s governing board. “Solar electric-ity and green design elements like advanced air systems and natu-ral lighting are smart choices for schools—conserving energy and natural resources while creating a healthier environment for our children and education profes-sionals. The combination of high-ef-ficiency systems, innovative design, and proper operation mean that green schools can cost far less to maintain than traditional schools.”

The nine schools that have been approved for solar pV installation funding are: Beverly high School, Bridgewater Raynham Regional high School, cambridge Rindge & latin School, manchester-Essex Regional middle/high School, New Bedford

lincoln Elementary School, New-ton North high School, Quincy high School, Dr. Albert f. Argenziano School in Somerville, and worces-ter North high School. The awards range from $150,000 to $300,000 per school with combined funding from the Trust’s green Schools Initiative and commonwealth Solar rebate pro-

gram. The six schools that have been

awarded funding through the green Schools Initiative for green school design funding are: Billerica parker Elementary School, Brookline Runk-le Elementary/middle School, carver Elementary School, Dedham Avery Elementary School, hampden-wil-braham minnechaug Regional high School, and hanover high School. The awards range from $40,000 to $75,000 per school.

The perkins School for the

Blind in watertown has been awarded green school design funding as well as solar pV installation funding.

Through the green Schools Ini-tiative, the Trust has made awards to public school districts for green build-ing design—including green design team support and energy, acoustic, and daylight modeling—and for renew-

able energy system design and installation. This highly successful initiative has led to the adoption of state regu-lations that have required all new school or major renova-tion projects approved for construction reimbursement from the massachusetts School Building Authority (mSBA) after July 1, 2007 to implement numerous green design measures. The mSBA has provided an ad-ditional funding incentive of up to 2% of construction costs for mA-chpS Veri-

fied high-performance green schools. high-performance green school buildings save an average of 25% in energy costs over traditional schools and have superior indoor environmen-tal qualities.

Since 2002, the Trust has sup-ported more than 80 schools in their efforts to incorporate renewable ener-gy systems and other green elements into their facilities through the green Schools Initiative, commonwealth Solar, commonwealth wind, and pre-vious initiatives.

worcester, mA - cutler Associates, a design and construction firm with offices in worcester, mass.; Allentown, penn.; and Tampa, fla, recently announced that 13 staff members were named lEED Accred-ited professionals by the USgBc.

Recently named were J. Robert Tay-lor, AIA, vice president of planning and design; garth Johnson, principal and di-rector of senior living; Kevin Kozak, AIA, design project manager; michael worthley, AIA, design project manager; Kathleen provencher, AIA, project architect; Jack moran, director of building information modeling; Dirk heller, proconstruction ser-vices manager; matthew Benolkin, estima-tor; Tiffany Gallo, estimator; Mark Staffi-eri, senior project manager; Toby manulak, project manager; Joshua Brandt, project manager; and marian Jakubik, superinten-dent.

“The commitment of our staff to earn lEED accreditation is a testament to cut-ler’s dedication to remaining at the fore-front of lEED and sustainable design and construction,” said Ed o’Brien, president of cutler Associates.

To enhance the thorough understand-ing of green design and building practices required for lEED accreditation and the management of lEED projects, cutler es-tablished a “green Team” that holds semi-nars, workshops, and study sessions where topics related to sustainability and their im-pact on projects are examined.

green Roundtable’s New leadership programAccelerates Recovery, helps firms win work

High-Profile: Green Facilities Development News

By William Ronco, PhD, Programs Director, Gathering Pace Consulting

The green Roundtable’s new green change leaders circle accelerates build-ing owners’, A&E and construction firms’ emergence from the recession. The pro-gram provides the essential change man-agement strategies and skills owners, ar-chitects, engineers and contractors need to meet the demand for sustainable design and construction.

Shareholders and senior execu-tives in all kinds of organizations are demanding more and better sustain-able design and construction. Build-ing owners are already awarding new projects based on service provider firms’ sustainable achievements, and this trend will only strengthen in the com-ing years.

The green change leaders circle provides the skills owners need to improve bottom-line performance and more clearly align real estate and planning with organi-zational strategy. for architects, engineers and contractors, the program delivers the change management tools that meet own-ers’ demands and win work.

The program takes organizations’ sustainable efforts – many of which are stalled – to much higher levels of perfor-mance. “Developing effective change

leaders is the first step companies can take to achieve strategic and long lasting value – for every goal, not just green build-ing,” comments Barbra Batshalom, green Roundtable Executive Director. prominent Boston architect Scott Simpson of Kling-Stubbins, notes, “going green is not just about counting lEED points. It requires a change in mindset that must pervade the entire organization.”

most building owners, architecture, engineering and construction companies have designated green leaders, and most green leaders are highly motivated and technically skilled. however, few of them possess the change management strategies and skills to match their beliefs. The green change leaders circle arms green change leaders with the change management strate-gies and skills to successfully drive change both throughout their own organizations and in partnering with others.

Beginning September 24, the innova-tive program consists of a year-long series

of monthly workshops for small, strategi-cally mixed groups – owners, architects, engineers, contractors and consultants. To ensure maximum impact, group size is lim-ited to 10. The program delivers valuable, lasting results both for change management leaders responsible for their organization’s green progress and younger practitioners who want to add change management skills to their professional toolkit.

many high-level deci-sion-makers in the industry have found the leadership cir-cles invaluable. Ralph Deflo-rio, harvard Divinity School Director of operations, notes, “The leader’s circle programs provide a valuable foundation

to bridge differences and enable change to be successfully implemented.” leila Kamal AIA, lEED Apand Vice president, EYpA/E points out, “we need to think dif-ferently about how we approach design. leaders circle provides critical tools to understand how we can influence behavior and overcome natural resistance.”

Program leader Dr. William Ronco has led more than 20 leaders’ circle groups and is an industry expert in change man-agement, partnering, strategy and leader-ship development.

“Going green is not just about counting LEED points. It requires a change in mindset that must pervade the entire organization.”

portland, mE - The new osher map library at the University of Southern maine portland campus re-ceived lEED Silver designation from the US green Building council. many of the points that determine the level of lEED designation were acquired through spe-cial efforts by the construction managers, wright-Ryan construction, of portland.

The building, which houses 20,000 maps and more than 1,500 rare books and atlases, was built with green in mind, but wright-Ryan needed to pay special atten-tion to the operating systems to be sure that

they would be sufficient for the tempera-ture and humidity requirements of the rare documents. During the construction of the lEED building, wright-Ryan was able to divert 80% of all waste from landfills and utilize local subcontractors and suppliers. The building also features many regional or sustainable materials in order to reduce its carbon footprint.

The exterior skin of the building is an interesting glass product with an artis-tic world mural gracing the surface. The building itself has been transformed into an artistic canvas.

Boston, mA - The Department of public Utilities (DpU) recently approved the first utility company proposal to own and operate solar energy installations, as authorized by the green communities Act of 2008, giving a green light to west-ern massachusetts Electric company’s (wmEco) plans to construct and deploy approximately six megawatts (mw) of so-lar photovoltaic power throughout its ser-vice territory.

Designed to promote the develop-ment of renewable energy and stimulate the commonwealth’s clean energy economy, the green communities Act gave utility companies the ability to own and operate solar electric installations up 50 mw. Just as utilities bill customers for the cost of

fossil-fuel generated electricity, the cost of utility-owned solar power will be recouped through ratepayer revenues. The wmEco order includes a settlement between the company and the attorney general ensuring that costs of the utility’s solar program will include stricter cost controls and be spread over more years than the company origi-nally proposed.

“Today’s action is consistent with governor patrick’s pursuit of a robust so-lar energy industry in massachusetts,” DpU chairman paul hibbard said. “It moves the commonwealth closer to the governor’s goal of 250 megawatts of solar power by 2017, while protecting ratepay-ers by spreading out the cost of financing wmEco’s solar ownership program.”

by Chris Clark, Nexamp, director of advisory services

In the face of challenging economic times and a rapidly evolving federal policy landscape, businesses are taking a hard look at new strategies to reduce their op-erating costs. for many, the way they use energy is a primary focus of their attention. What they are finding is that investments in clean energy are not only capable of reduc-ing their top line expenses, but can provide an attractive bottom-line return for years to come.

The moniker “clean energy” is far reaching in its application. clean energy encompasses tried-and-true energy effi-ciency activities, such as lighting retrofits and equipment upgrades, aimed at reducing energy consumption and associated costs. It also includes renewable energy, like solar photovoltaic and wind power tech-nologies, which generate electricity from resources that are naturally replenished and inexhaustible. finally, clean energy in-corporates improved energy management practices, such as monitoring energy usage in real time to highlight operational inef-ficiencies. In all cases, the multiple spokes of the clean energy umbrella are inexorably linked by the common goal of cost reduc-tion. To a growing extent, objectives tied to sustainability and reduced greenhouse gas emissions are also becoming important considerations.

Opportunities for businesses to profit from clean energy investments are buoyed

by a new wave of aggressive government and utility incentives that effectively buy down the cost of these technologies, mak-ing them attractive and profitable to organi-zations that implement them. however, for most businesses the challenge of navigat-ing the potpourri of energy incentives and new technologies to find the best opportu-nities is a daunting task. The situation is exacerbated by a vendor landscape popu-lated by specialized subject matter experts, such as energy service companies that only

do lighting retrofits and renewable energy integrators that only install solar technol-ogy.

To address these shortcomings in the marketplace, we are seeing the rise of a new entrant in the energy business space – the comprehensive, full-services energy solutions provider. The energy solutions provider helps clients identify the most appropriate energy technologies for their given situation, taking into account their particular building infrastructure, util-ity costs, and business practices. Unlike its incumbent predecessors in the energy marketplace, the modern energy solutions company is solution-agnostic, and bound neither to technology nor equipment ven-dor. The energy solutions provider is nim-ble, capable of adapting to and integrating new technologies as soon as they are mar-ket-ready. likewise, the energy solutions company is focused on customer service, handling all aspects of the project cycle, from technology evaluation to design and permitting to installation.

As organizations increasingly rec-ognize that long-term success is linked to their ability to efficiently feed their energy hunger, integrated energy solutions compa-nies are fulfilling an important role. That role includes working with clients not only to identify appropriate technologies, but to fully understand the business case for their implementation. It means developing tools and strategies for communicating at the board level, and providing information

beyond simple payback. Internal rate of re-turn, income tax treatment, and long-term energy hedging are just a sampling of the topics frequently broached by decision-makers considering clean energy invest-ments. These are the variables around which businesses are formulating multi-year master energy plans, as they desire to hedge against the uncertainty of future energy price increases and the growing cer-tainty of a forthcoming carbon regime.

The future demands a sea change in the way businesses think about, evaluate, and ultimately act upon their energy needs. The current paradigm of energy as an after-thought and piecemeal energy planning is likely to give way to comprehensive, pro-active energy management, as companies demand access to more information about the way they use and value energy. A new breed of energy solutions companies stands ready to meet this need

Nexamp is a full-service clean ener-gy solutions company. Nexamp analyzes, designs, finances, builds and maintains clean energy projects that reduce energy costs and carbon emissions for businesses, governments, and homeowners. Our so-lutions include renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy management.

The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) will present its an-nual green Buildings open house on Saturday, october 3, from 10 a.m. 4 p.m. Boston green Building, a member of NE-SEA, invites the public to a free tour of a residence of one of its clients.

Boston green Building is a sus-tainable general contractor specializing in residential green construction. They build attractive, healthy, and comfortable environments for their clients by offer-ing a unique service not found with most conventional contractors: namely, build-ing green. In all of their projects, Boston green Building aims to maximize energy efficiency, incorporate the use of environ-mentally responsible nontoxic materials, minimize waste and employ eco-friendly concepts.

The residence that will be open to the public as part of NESEA’s green Buildings open house tour is located on Beacon hill in Boston at 1 chestnut Street.

In this multi-unit building is a con-dominium featuring a green kitchen that the public is welcome to visit. Designed by hickox-williams architects and clev-ergreen cabinetry, this green kitchen fea-tures locally sourced materials: Vermont slate countertops, cherry hardwood and curly maple from pennsylvania. on all of these woods, nontoxic water-based clear coat finishes were used.

High-efficiency appliances and Ul-tra-Touch recycled denim insulation save

the client energy, and a mini-split ductless Ac system cools only those rooms being occupied. A Bosch condensing dryer elimi-nated the need to penetrate the building en-velope for venting. paint is “mythic” non-toxic, zero Voc. historical accuracy was adhered to with the replication of damaged sections of original plaster crown mould-ings. These profiles are echoed in the cabi-

netry trim as well. The massachusetts New homes with

ENERgY STAR program is the title spon-sor for this year’s green Buildings open house. The ENERgY STAR program is sponsored by electric and gas utilities and energy efficiency service providers. The role of the program is to promote and sup-port the construction of energy-efficient

new homes that provide long-term energy savings and a healthier living en-vironment and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to the home on Beacon hill, oth-er types of buildings that will also be open to the public include businesses, commercial buildings, public buildings, schools, and private homes demon-strating the use of passive solar heating, solar hot wa-ter collection and storage, radiant floor heating, pho-tovoltaics or wind to gen-erate electricity, energy-saving techniques such as super-insulation and seal-ing air spaces, sustainable and healthy building ma-terials, and water-saving fixtures.

NESEA’s green Buildings open house, part of the American Solar

Energy Society’s National Solar Tour, is an opportunity to learn firsthand how incor-porating green elements can help reduce heating costs, increase energy conserva-tion, and even generate surplus clean ener-gy.

KBE Building corporation, formerly Konover construction corporation, is putting the final touches on the

last of three technical high schools in con-necticut that were renovated as part of an overall effort to restructure and modernize the course offerings, programs, equipment and facilities of the state’s technical schools.

over the years, connecticut techni-cal high schools have educated thousands of students in the construction trades, occupa-tional-specific training and apprenticeships, manufacturing technologies, automotive technologies, culinary arts and hospitality skills.

KBE has been involved in ambitious

projects at w.f. Kaynor Technical high School in waterbury, E.c. goodwin Tech-nical high School in New Britain, and Nor-wich Technical high School in Norwich. Each of these projects presented its own unique challenges, including completing the renovations with the entire student body on the premises.

“Each of these projects involved out-standing collaboration between everyone involved – the State Department of Public works’ project managers, the design teams, trade contractors, and the faculty, staff and students,” said mike Kolakowski, president and cEo of KBE Building corporation. “our experience in working in occupied

spaces, particularly in the education market, allowed us to easily flow from one phase of the project to the next.”

w.f. Kaynor Technical high School underwent renovation and new additions that will improve site circulation, upgrade the school’s vocational shops, and implement high-tech, fully digital academic classrooms and laboratories. The current classroom wing was demolished to make way for a new, three-story academic wing and gymnasium.

This will allow creation of the large class-rooms needed to accommodate digital tech-nology and assist in reducing congestion at the entrance. KBE renovated the school’s trade classrooms and performed an upgrade on all of the building systems. The school will remain fully operational throughout the multi-phased construction.

“ A key design goal was to foster pride in vocational education with a cutting edge facility that features the latest technology and supports the curriculum by utilizing strong architectural forms that communicate a clear, vibrant identity for both the shops area and the academic wing,” said Julija Singer, AIA, lEED Ap, design architect from The S/l/A/m collaborative.

E.c. goodwin Technical high School underwent its first major renovation and up-grade project in over 25 years. The school was built in 1962. The seven-phase project includes new and renovated academic class-rooms, technical shop space, administrative areas and support space, new athletic fields, and new parking lots. modernizing and ex-panding the school will not only benefit the students and faculty but will ultimately ben-efit the workforce in the New Britain region for many years to come.

“for the E.c. goodwin Technical high School, we worked very successfully with KBE to create the look and academic experi-ence of a 21st century technical school,” said David King, AIA, and principal of Kaestle Boos Architects, based in New Britain, conn.

Norwich Technical high School was completed in December of 2008. KBE con-verted an existing 100,000sf community col-lege into a 200,000sf state-of-the-art tech-nical high school. As with the others, the facility remained fully operational during this phased construction project. The school includes more than 15 technical education and science labs, full academic facilities, au-ditorium, media center, gymnasium, and caf-

eteria and dining facilities. m/E/p and data systems were also upgraded throughout.

“As the architect, our charge for the Norwich Technical high School project was to create, in effect, an entirely new school out of the existing facility,” explains Richard Brown, AIA, partner with moser pilon Nel-son Architects of Wethersfield, Conn., and architect for the Norwich Technical high

School project. “we created a totally new building image, using a design vocabulary that engages the students and moves away from the existing, rather drab aesthetic of the original school. The complexity of the phas-ing demanded a significant cooperative effort and commitment between the design team, the school, the construction administrator and KBE Building corporation.”

Shrewsbury, mA - mar-gulies perruzzi Architects has completed the design of Ready-mED by fallon clinic. located in Shrewsbury, ReadymED is the first physician-staffed, walk-in medical care clinic in central massachusetts to offer conve-nient, non-emergency medical services for adults, infants and children. A ribbon-cutting and open house were held at the clinic on August 4. construc-tion management services were provided by cutler Associates of worcester.

The 5,000sf ReadymED facility stands out from retail clinics in that physicians will be on the premises at all times, as well as ad-vanced practitioners and other medical professionals. The facility also features X-ray and laboratory services on-site.

focused on patient convenience, the design concept for the ReadymED clinic aims to demystify the relation-ship between the patient and the health-care provider. This is achieved using transparency throughout the space that

creates a comfortable, attractive envi-ronment, while also maintaining pa-tient privacy. Separate waiting rooms are provided for children and adults, and patients have access to wireless In-ternet in the waiting areas.

“with ReadymED, fallon clin-ic has reconceived the entire walk-in medical care experience from start to finish,” said Marc Margulies, principal of margulies perruzzi Architects. “our design team met this exciting chal-lenge by discarding any pre-conceived notions of what a clinical environment should be. we worked from a blank slate to create the model for an excep-tional walk-in medical care experience that sets the clinic’s cutting-edge clini-cal resources and tools within a plea-surable, efficient environment.”

Beverly, mA - from top to bottom and inside and out, the buildings at the helena J. Sturnick Village at the

montserrat college of Art contain environ-mentally friendly materials and technolo-gies that reduce water and energy use and limit emissions of harmful chemicals and pollutants – making it the greenest building on the campus.

The future home of 87 students, the $6.5 million, 27,000sf project was deliv-ered on time and on budget under a design-build collaboration between windover construction of manchester by the Sea and Siemasko + Verbridge Architects of Bev-erly.

located in the heart of downtown Beverly, this green masterpiece, a grouping of two-, three-, and four-story buildings, integrates the historic architectural fabric of the surrounding homes with new envi-ronmentally friendly technologies.

The green roof provides storm water retention and mitigates solar heat gain and loss, and the landscaping includes drought resistant plants that require less water.

Inside, all appliances and lighting are highly energy-efficient, and water use is re-duced via low-flow plumbing fixtures.

windover also used low Voc paint throughout to reduce harmful chemical emissions.

The central heating and air condi-tioning system, a mitsubishi Electric cITY mUlTI VRfZ, requires minimal on-site fossil fuel to operate and takes heat out of the ambient air, and depending on the

season, moves it inside or out. The system uses a variable frequency compressor so it uses only the energy required to meet the demand, while achieving a precise level of comfort. The result is a highly efficient

heating and cooling operation with better comfort inside.

Jim Burke, lEED Ap, project man-ager with windover construction, said a geothermal system had been consid-

ered for the project, but the return wasn’t there. “with rising energy prices, the cost to run the pumps for a geothermal system

negated any savings. Switching to the mitsubishi system also saved $200,000 in up-front construction costs by not drill-ing the wells,” Burke noted. “In addition, the long-term effect on groundwater qual-ity and the effect of changing the thermal characteristics of the groundwater from the use of geothermal are still unknown.”

In addition to its sustainability com-ponents, the building, located in the heart of the campus, is unique in many aspects of its design. It was very important to make it attractive, inviting, and comfortable both for the students living there and for the col-lege community surrounding it.

Thad Seimasko, the project’s archi-tect, studied how the students live, interact, and create. The results are that the complex has many small gathering areas, both in-side and out, and contains student artist studio space in the basement.

Visually the building is very pleas-ing. with its series of large and small co-lonial structures, connected with a mod-ern steel and glass core, the building has settled well into the surrounding neighbor-hood, yet has the funky and creative feel you would expect at an art college.

when asked about challenges they faced during construction, Burke said site constraints were the biggest problem. Sur-rounded by a public library, an active col-lege, a dense neighborhood of residential homes and the community common, Burke said, “we literally had no open space in the area for staging. That was among the rea-sons we chose to use modular construction for the buildings.”

This was windover’s biggest modu-

lar construction project to date. The eight pre-fabricated pieces were constructed in concord, N.h. last winter. Burke noted that prefabricating the building in modular sections allowed windover to build more efficiently without the need for temporary weather enclosures and inefficient tempo-rary heating systems.

In addition, he said it went along perfectly with the green theme, because modular construction promotes a more ef-ficient use of materials with less genera-tion of waste.

Burke added another benefit: “Con-sidering the density of the neighborhood, the modular construction allowed us to get the job done without a lot of noise distur-bance to the surrounding homes and busi-nesses.”

windover faced a tight construction deadline, as they had 13 months to have the project ready for this fall’s arrival of students. “we kept up a good pace. we did hit some ledge when excavating the site,” said Burke. “But we were able to do some chipping and also changed the shape of the foundation so we didn’t lose any time.” Burke also said lining up the modular pieces presented some minor challenges, but that windover’s “intense quality moni-toring” at the factory prevented any major delays from happening.

Recycling is another green theme at the Sturnick Village. windover re-used ma-terial from the former buildings, and much of the new flooring contains pre-consumer recycled and rapidly renewable content. Student suites are also outfitted with recy-cling bins – assuring that the green trend will continue beyond construction.

gardner, mA - The Northeast Vet-erans Training and Rehabilitation center (NVTRc) in gardner, de-

signed by Kuhn Riddle Architects of Am-herst, will serve veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have sustained severe injuries such as loss of a limb, trau-matic brain injury, post traumatic stress disorder, and severe burns.

This residential center will be a place to receive physical and emotional rehabili-tation as well as educational training, while living alongside their family.

construction started with the conver-sion/renovation of a Kelton Street house into the construction site office/operations center; the house will eventually become the NVTRC management office. The proj-ect will receive LEED Silver certification.

The Rehabilitation center is situated on 12 acres of land donated by mount wa-chusett community college. The facilities of the college are open to the veterans and their families. The college has extended free access to veterans and their family members to the full curriculum of college level classes. The college Day care cen-ter will also be available at no cost to the families.

The heywood hospital, located di-rectly across the street from the NVTRc facility, will be part of the services avail-able to the NVTRc program.

The veterans and families will be housed in separate living quarters located on the project grounds. These 10 duplex wood-framed cottages will be approximate-ly 2,500sf each unit with two bedrooms,

bath, kitchen and living area. The cottage concept will allow the clients to practice their living skills and provide privacy for both the veteran and his or her family.

There will also be a 7,000sf therapy building, which features an indoor therapy pool, a weight/exercise room, and a golf simulator.

green building elements utilized in this project include photovoltaic arrays, geothermal ground source heating, and

structural insulated panels. Additionally, no outside fill has been brought in for this project; back-fill was preserved from the site and foundation excavation and larger rock from the site has been crushed on-site to produce local aggregate.

The Northeast Veterans Training fa-cility will be owned and operated by Vet-eran homestead in fitchburg.

providence, RI - The first new build-ing in Johnson & wales University’s master plan for its harborside cam-

pus will set the tone and direction for future development. The building is expected to receive Silver LEED certification from the US green Building council.

Adjacent to a culinary arts museum and expected to be a popular tour destina-tion for the university, the building offers maximum transparency to showcase and celebrate the school’s culinary program. Key instructional spaces include a diverse range of kitchen labs, a wine tasting room, and various types of instructional dining fa-cilities.

The exterior is scaled and massed to complement existing structures while pre-senting a clear identity that announces the building as a public space. Various mate-rial types and textures create a welcoming skin for this facility that is both learning institution and observation center. labs, classrooms, and corridors are configured to offer students and faculty enough privacy to achieve an optimal learning experience even as visitors look on.

The dean’s suite is designed as a glass box lined with wine bottles. It features an integrated conference/presentation room that hovers dramatically over the main lobby to illuminate the artistic aspect of the culinary experience. New academic offices on multiple floors integrate the faculty with student traffic and activity.

High-Profile Feature: Johnson & Wales Harborside Campus

The building is sited on 100 acres of a former shipyard in a designated flood zone. Anticipating regular rising water, all programmed areas are lifted above the 12-foot flood clearance line. A shallow earth terrace resolves into a graceful staircase that accentuates the building’s elevated en-trance and leads users gently up and into it. For added safety in the event of a flood, the lower walls incorporate breakaway tech-nology to allow for the free flow of water.

In addition to addressing flood con-cerns, the raising of the building creates a

covered open space at the street level that is conducive to year-round outdoor public events, including ice carving. The open space also unifies the other campus greens that now reach out to a main intersection, creating lawns and pedestrian footpaths where building corners are expected. The height of the building and the lifting of its entry floors also provide students, faculty, staff, and visitors with unrestricted and sweeping views of nearby Narragansett Bay.

Words from the Civil EngineerLow Impact Development Produces an Efficient Site

once occupied by open water, the Johnson & wales University’s harborside campus presented remarkable challenges for woodard & curran engineers. The vast majority of the 90+ acre campus is situated on fill imported to create the Provi-dence Shipyard and remains in the floodplain of the Providence River. The first chal-lenge for woodard & curran’s center for culinary Excellence site designer: how to design a site for a building with a first floor 12 feet above the ground surface? An-other challenge related to the Rhode Island Urban coastal greenway (Ucg) policy implemented in 2007. The firm’s engineers needed to determine how to incorporate low Impact Development (lID) techniques on a site with high groundwater and almost no topographic relief between the site and the river. woodard & curran’s engineers answered those challenges with an innovative design which incorporates capturing roof runoff and then recycling it for irrigation and non-potable grey water uses. The 20,000-gallon collection tank for the roof runoff is situated in a berm cre-ated to access the first floor of the building. The design meets the requirements of the Ucg policy, and produces a hydrologically functional and economical site.

High-Profile Feature: Visual Arts Center

chestnut Hill, Ma – Delta Design & construction of medford an-nounced that the Robert lloyd

corkin Visual Arts center, located on the Brimmer and may School campus in chestnut hill, has been completed.

Delta partnered with Imai Keller moore architects on this $1.6 million, 2600sf ground up art studio. The building, constructed on the original footprint, was designed to maintain the original historic character of the late 1800’s carriage house on the three sides that faced the neighbor-hood.

The north side of the building, by contrast, was given a two-story wood cur-tain wall, illuminating the major studio spaces and providing views to the wooded hillside beyond. The mix of old and new is most visible at the upper level, where re-claimed lumber rafters carry the eye up to

the cupola above. The project includes two 2D studios and a ceramics studio.

The art studio will provide space for three art studios and a ceramics studio as well as exhibit space for the students to display their work.

“This was an exciting project to be a part of, and it was great working with both Brimmer and may School and IKm. The project team really came together to over-come many challenges, and together we completed a wonderful art studio,” stated Derek pelletier, president of Delta Design & construction.

Brimmer and may, an early child-hood through grade 12, coeducational, in-dependent day school, serves a culturally and socio-economically diverse student body from approximately 40 communities in greater Boston and 10 foreign coun-tries.

Delta Design completes Visual Arts center Imai Keller moore Architects

words from the ArchitectsImai Keller moore

“The school asked us to renovate an 1890’s carriage house located at the corner of their campus, for use as an Art Studio center.

The design we proposed inserted a two-story glass wall on the north side of the building to maximize natural light and views across the tracks to the heavily landscaped hillside beyond. on the three other sides of the structure, we maintained fairly conservative window and door treatment, in keeping with the historic nature of the building.

“Although the project was designed as a renovation of the historic barn, the condition of the fieldstone foundation was ultimately determined to be too poor to stabilize. The final design, therefore, was for a completely new build-ing, maintaining the volume and placement of the original structure to meet the requirements of the historic commission and the Building Dept. Salvaged wood rafters were used at the upper level studio ceiling.”

The mix of old and new is most visible at the upper level, where reclaimed lumberrafters carry the eye to the cupola above.

A deep closet running the full width of the room provides for organizing supplies. Stor-age zones are concealed with homasote-clad sliding doors on barn-door tracks. Photog-

High-Profile Feature: Aetna Headquarters

hartford, cT-Aetna has been under-going major interior renovations in their hartford Atrium Building

facility. The atrium concourse area, de-signed by perkins+will is approximately 10,000sf, and only one of the many spaces in the building undergoing renovation. The building will become the main entry on Aetna’s hartford campus for recruiting. The concourse area is the primary path for most users entering the build-ing either from the main en-trance, the garage, or the Rog-ers building.

This portion of the con-course is within the multi-sto-ry atrium. The vast glass ceil-ing structure illuminates the space and surrounding bal-conies with natural light. The scale of the space provided perkins+will the opportunity to use the client’s branding throughout the atrium space.

one design element is a custom terrazzo floor which incorporates Aetna’s “Value wheel.” The branding colors and messaging elements de-veloped by Aetna’s creative Services group have been inte-

grated into the architectural design through the use of printed stretched fabric panels and text applied to glass walls with colored film. These colorful graphics integrated throughout the space signify the new divi-sion which will occupy the space.

A coffee kiosk situated at the entry on the main ground floor serves as a wel-coming anchor and the first stop to pick up a cup of coffee or a quick snack during the day. Integrated within the space are “touch-down” spaces which provide a convenient place for an impromptu meeting.

perkins+will principal Stevanie Demko, IIDA and lEED Ap, has over 30-years experience with diverse renova-tion projects and new construction interior architectural projects in both the corporate and educational sectors. As managing Di-

rector of the Connecticut office she over-sees office management and design.

In addition to perkins + will, the core team for the atrium renovation expected to be completed in october includes: Skanska USA Building, cm; grubb & Ellis, facil-ity managers; Aetna creative Services; Kohler Ronan, mEp and Aetna Real Estate Services. Stretched fabric panels were pro-vided by Moss, Inc. and Terrazzo floor was installed by Joseph p. cohn. The other ad-jacent areas were completed by other local architectural firms.

Boston, mA - Edelman Sultan Knox wood/Architects, Bergmeyer Associates and hacin + Associates took top honors in this year’s John m. clancy Award for So-cially Responsible housing program.

The biennial design awards pro-gram, established by goody clancy in rec-ognition of John clancy fAIA, recognizes excellence in the planning, design and construction of multifamily housing for the diverse populations of our nation at all income levels.

The jury chose five projects out of 35 submissions to be honored. here are the the jurors’ comments.

“In the third year of the John m. clancy award program, we examined 35 submissions that represented projects built nationwide. we were pleased to review projects that incorporated strategies for transitional housing in addition to projects meant for permanent residence.

“we agreed that to be called socially responsible, a project must contribute to the community and the built and natural envi-ronment that make up its physical context, while meeting the special requirements of people in need.

“greatly appealing to us was a marked increase in the number of projects addressing environmental sustainability, which shows that thoughtful design does not price such features out of affordable housing.

“more unexpected was the increase in the number of developments serving children aging out of foster care – a popu-

lation that appears to be on the rise.we wished for better explorations

of family housing within ‘elevator’ build-ings. And we wanted to see more develop-ments in urban centers, as these can create housing opportunities with a high level of amenities and services for resident popula-tions with unique healthcare, education or counseling needs.”

Three massachusetts projects were honored:

Honor Awards For Design Excellence - multifamily affordable housing in

gloucester.Designed by Bergmeyer Associates,

Boston. michael R. Davis, AIA, lEED Ap was the principal in charge.

This redevelopment of an abandoned

multibuilding factory complex created workforce housing—via adaptive reuse amplified by new construction—on a wonderful site with water views and great natural beauty. Nonproductive buildings on the overdeveloped site were selectively demolished to improve cross-site circulation and to offer more pond views, while the re-maining wood-frame mill build-ings were converted into lovely double-height living spaces.

New buildings were planned only for sites of demolished build-ings; existing subterranean spaces were turned into indoor parking; and the site’s former parking lot and abandoned railroad were transformed into green spaces and a courtyard, respectively. The result of this masterplan is a tran-sit-oriented development that’s intimate in scale and rich with wonderful housing forms.

Boston.This newly constructed building in

Boston’s South End features 14 affordable single-room-occupancy units (13 for the formerly homeless), an active ground-floor restaurant, and office and program space for the building’s nonprofit owner.

we liked the plan for this compact building, which includes two geothermal wells and ensures long-term affordability through energy-efficient features that keep operating expenses down and commercial space that helps subsidize the SRo units.

The design is one of the better exam-ples of mixed-used development: there’s a

nice balance between the commercial and residential sides and thoughtful attention to how dimensions and materials differentiate between the two.

Awards - waverly woods in BelmontDesigned by mostue & Associates

Architects, SomervilleIn exchange for the right to redevel-

op the massive former maclean hospital site into luxury townhouses, an assisted-living community and a research/develop-ment facility, a tiny corner of the site was set aside for the construction of affordable housing.

Despite the site’s severe slope, ledge outcroppings, scraggly tree growth and heavy traffic on one edge, it has been magically transformed by a solid plan. The housing now fits in so well that it looks like it was easy to develop—while offer-ing pedestrian access to waverly Square, Belmont’s only multimodal transportation node.

The development’s architecture is sensitive to the scale of neighboring prop-erties and features facades that are detailed at a level comparable to some of the town’s finest homes.

Newton, mA - The new center for Veterinary Technology at mount Ida college brings the independent

baccalaureate college in Newton one step closer to its vision of providing students, and a growing industry, with the top vet-erinary technology program in the coun-try. The new center will allow mount Ida to meet growing demand for its highly re-spected curriculum, one of only 16 accred-ited veterinary technology bachelor degree programs in the country.

Designed by cBT Architects and built by cutler Associates, the $6 million, 16,000sf facility consolidates all of the vet-erinary technology faculty offices, class-rooms, laboratories, and animal facilities under one roof.

The program includes humane hous-ing and animal treatment clinics for dogs, cats, rodents, and rabbits, with day-visit fa-cilities for large animals. The building also features surgery, recovery, and laboratory facilities equipped with the most modern technology. A large radiology space, outfit-ted with an innovative digital radiography system, will allow students to learn the lat-est techniques and procedures for animal medical care and treatment.

The Vet Tech project is the second major recent construction project undertak-en by the college in almost a decade and represents the college’s next step in the achievement of its long-term master plan. In 2008, cutler Associates built a new resi-

dence hall for the campus. “we’re pleased to be able to con-

tinue to work with mount Ida as they ex-ecute their master plan,” said Rod Shaffert, vice president of cutler Associates. “The collaboration and continuity that has de-veloped between our teams enables us to deliver these complex projects with maxi-mum value for the college.”

cutler was hired as construction manager early in the preconstruction pro-cess with the hope that, by working as an integrated team with the architect and the owner, all of the design and programming goals for the project could be achieved within the college’s budget. To facilitate

this objective, cutler provided ongoing cost information for building systems and materials, value engineering, and construc-tability analysis so that the architect could maximize the value of the design and the owner could make informed decisions re-garding the scope.

The firm’s experience on campus and with local officials proved essential to maintaining the project schedule. “The location and condition of the existing utili-ties on the building site were not entirely known before we began construction,” ex-plained Shaffert. “But after our experience working on the residence hall we were able to quickly perform a series of infrastruc-ture upgrades to the electricity, telcom, and gas.”

Reflecting Mount Ida College’s commitment to environmental responsi-bility, the new complex incorporates sus-tainable design and construction concepts equivalent to Silver LEED certification. green concepts include improved plumb-ing and optimal energy systems that will reduce energy and water usage. The hVAc design included enhanced system capacity to provide outside air 30% above code re-quirements and individual lighting controls reduce electricity usage.

After breaking ground in August of 2008, finishing touches on the building were completed in July and the first classes were held as students returned to campus at the end of August.
