The Academic Innovation Center is a two-story, 48,290SF facility which includes an innovation forum, faculty space, break-out rooms, an admissions center and cross-functional classrooms for students in the College of Business and College of Arts and Sciences. The building is designed to offer unprecedented flexibility, with moveable tables, smart technology and light-filled collaborative spaces that promote experiential teaching and new learning modules.

BOSTON UNIVERSITY

Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre

Boston University selected BOND Building to provide preconstruction and construction management services for the new Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre and Boston University Production Center. During an aggressive 15-month schedule, BOND Building constructed a 75,000 SF multi-functional facility, offering support spaces and design labs for teaching and producing student theatre. The new building features a two-level subsurface parking garage and adjoining parking lot, providing space for 286 vehicles.

A beautifully landscaped plaza on Commonwealth Avenue provides a welcoming focal point along with landscaped buffer zones along Essex and Dummer Streets.

It’s a testament to our philosophy of what the theater is. And it reflects the aesthetic of the building itself, with its tilted facade, which reflects the life of the people in the plaza and on the sidewalk.

Emerson College’s Paramount Center is a first-of-its kind mixed-use residential, academic and performance venue. The 180,000 SF structure is a multi-use project that included the landmark restoration of Boston’s 1932-built Paramount Theatre and a total reconstruction of two adjacent buildings at 545 Washington Street in Downtown Boston. BOND Building provided construction management services for the new facility that now houses a 592-seat theatre, a 125-seat black box theatre, a 200-seat film-screening room, rehearsal studios, practice rooms, classrooms and four floors of residence hall space for Emerson students.

BENTLEY UNIVERSITY Student Center

Bentley University’s Student Center is the campus’ home for student life. More than a decade after its opening, the amount of space needed for student organizations and services exceeded the building size. BOND Building was employed to provide preconstruction and construction services

for an 18,000 SF expansion and 20,000 SF renovation of the existing facility to accommodate the need for additional gathering, work and collaboration space. Dubbed the “Bentley Bubble,” the facility includes collaboration space, study rooms, team project rooms, new concessions, student activity offices and a pub.

Students just find their space and the building comes alive. We want it to be the place students can count on to build their community.

- Nicole Chabot-Wieferich Director of Student Programs and Engagement

BOSTON UNIVERSITY

Center for Student Services

Located in the center of busy Kenmore Square, Boston University’s 120,000 SF Center for Student Services consolidates several of the institution’s academic and advising programs into one space, while providing a much-needed student dining and meeting space on the eastern side of its campus. The Center’s first two floors are dedicated to student dining, its top four floors to educational and career development programs and its basement to a bakery and coffee shop, function room and community space.

“

These are places where people go and they stay for a long time, whether they’re sitting at a table and studying or working with students in their program or their class.

- Gary Nicksa Senior Vice President for Operations

North Quad Infrastructure Upgrade

UMass Lowell’s North Quad, a centerpiece of the North Campus, has undergone a significant transformation. Composed of the interconnected Southwick, Kitson, Falmouth & Pasteur Halls, the University has revitalized these historic buildings for use as state-of-the-art office, classroom and computational laboratory space. The new Quad required a sound infrastructure to support these changes. BOND Building was engaged to provide preconstruction and construction services for the first phase of this project.

STONEHILL COLLEGE

Thomas and Donna May

BOND Building provided preconstruction and construction management services for the 35,000 SF Academic & Welcome Center built on the site of the Old Student Union. The Center features an admissions room with tiered seating for more than 50 people, administrative and faculty offices, a 350-seat auditorium, classrooms, meeting spaces, a bookstore and an Au Bon Pain Café.

BOND Building used both in-house building information modeling (BIM) and laser scanning services to analyze the facility’s existing conditions and develop MEP systems, particularly useful in areas needing heavy drainage and ventilation.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Arthur M. Sackler Building

BOND Building was selected to reconfigure and renovate studio and gallery space vacated by the Harvard Art Museums in the Sackler Building.

The project scope included life safety upgrades, accessibility upgrades, deferred maintenance, and regulated material abatement. Preservation was an integral part of this project for the following special features: entry lobby, main stair, gallery character, auditorium colonnade, and primary facades.

BOND Building’s Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) team played a critical role during this early stage. Laser scanning of both the interior and exterior of the building provided the design team with highly accurate Revit models of the existing building facade, structure, and other building systems.
