In addition to the obvious impact of the news and advertising published in High-Profile Monthly along with our blog and FastFacts Friday e-blast, one of our strongest suits is the conversations all of this generates into “word of mouth.” This extra benefit is also promoted through our industry events. I had the good pleasure of chatting with Daniel Marr III during the networking hour at the Massachusetts Building Congress Hall of Fame event recently. The Marr Companies are previous Hall of Fame inductees. Dan, his uncle Robert, and brother David are all past presidents of the organization. Considering that the four Marr businesses provide specialized products and services, contributing to the area’s overall growth and development, I asked Dan if he has seen
any increase in business here in New England. Dan said, “Our business has increased dramatically over the past two years, Dan Marr III network- p a r t i c u l a r l y ing prior MBC Gala. in 2012.” For me, that is an indicator of AEC industry growth here in New England.

In 2007, the leadership of the Massachusetts Building Congress launched the MBC Hall of Fame. Its purpose: to recognize and celebrate legacy companies and organizations whose longstanding contributions make a lasting impact on the industry, on their community, and for their clients. The Hall of Fame Dinner Emcee & Guest Speaker was Dan Roche, awardwinning sports anchor and reporter for CBS Boston’s WBZ-TV News. The business portion of the meeting included the passing of the gavel from now past-president John Cannistraro of J.C. Cannistraro to the new incoming president Ben Goldfarb of Nauset Construction. Goldfarb said, “The Mass Building Congress hosted a dynamic and diversified crowd of AEC and related professionals that came together last night to recognize and honor some of the industry’s most renowned organizations, while making valuable contacts and most importantly having fun.”

by Stephanie Goldberg lmost exactly one year ago today we wrote an article about test fits for biotechnology. Focussing on how Revit can assist in the analysis of space, our article demonstrated how, through BIM software, we can develop simultaneously plans, 3D space and program. Since then, our office has continued to work with clients on multiple such test fits, often recreating their spaces in three or four different locations. InterestStephanie Goldberg ingly, this opportunity has allowed us to see how the expression of a company’s vision is transformed through its location, from one property to the next. In some locations, the change is simple, rooms cannot fit properly, or there is too much space. However, something more fundamental is happening through these iterations; the insertion of the project in different locations changes the fundamental organizational expression of the company by altering the way in which the parts of the program interact, thus assisting the client in solidifying their vision for the future. The desire on our client’s side to see their spaces in multiple locations has increased for us. This has come from two angles. First, brokers have recommended the client to test three or four locations.

A much clearer sense of how the company sees itself both from a functional/interactive standpoint and as an expression of identity develops from multiple analyses. Recently, we had the opportunity to conduct test fits for a company contemplating very different locations, one in Cambridge and the other in the western sub-
urbs. By using Revit, we were quickly able to analyze the spaces and generate plans and program. By harnessing the data aspect of the software, we were able to spend more time looking at the relationship between various aspects of the space. From the client’s side, there was a strong desire to have transparency through the labs and from office to open office, promoting collaboration and a sharing of resources. As well, the need for proximity of office to lab was essential, as write-ups and analyses were conducted at desks, not within the lab
space itself. What we found: that though the footprints of the two options were similar, the location of the core elements (elevators, mechanicals spaces) influenced the relationship of the rooms. The client and broker were able to look at these spaces not only from a cost perspective, but from how the interrelationship of the labs and offices functioned. Taking the step to signing the lease was made more secure knowing that the essential interactivity of the parts was preferred in the selected space and that needed proximities were retained. We have moved on to develop the design with the client within their selected location. The lessons learned about the company and their priorities for their headquarters informs the design and reinforces the interaction of programmatic elements, giving the team a head start. Though the design has changed shape in the ensuing months, the vision has remained intact. The value of iterative test fits is further proved in the continued design of the selected location. By looking at a project from different angles and perspective, what is important to a client becomes clear as the team can analyze the strengths of each location. These lessons carry through from the test fit stage to the completion of the project, informing decisions and leading to a better project. Stephanie Goldberg AIA LEED BC+D is president of Lab / Life.

KBE’s
Ever-Expanding Portfolio of Higher Education Projects “A lot of people don’t realize just how extensive our higher education portfolio is,” says Mike Kolakowski, KBE President and CEO. “We have been building college and university facilities for the last twenty years – it’s one of the best kept secrets about us. But the experience is there…and it’s paid off with a lot of repeat work for us.”
KBE Building Corporation is proud of its close ties to higher education. The employees joke that if you placed in one location every academic building, residence hall, student union, athletic center, and administrative facility that the firm has built on campuses across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, you might have the largest campus in the country.
YoU MAY NoT KNoW… KBE has been owned by Mike Kolakowski, Eric Brown, and Simon Etzel since 2007. Educational construction projects represent the largest market in KBE’s $300 million portfolio. KBE has offices in Farmington, CT and Columbia, MD to better serve all of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The average KBE employee has been with KBE for at least ten years. Many senior employees have been employed by KBE for more than 25 years. Last year, KBE’s 50 Ways to Make a Difference initiative donated more than $22,000 and 2,400 hours of community service to organizations throughout Connecticut and Maryland.
www.high-profile.com
KBE has constructed higher education projects on campuses throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Maryland. Its recent projects have included the construction and renovation of dining halls, athletic centers, residence halls, academic buildings, administrative facilities, laboratories, garages, student unions, animal barns, horticulture facilities, and even boathouses. Literally leaving no stone unturned, KBE has also constructed such campus necessities as parking lots and roadways, code upgrades, mold and hazmat abatement, utility/IT infrastructure, site work, and site infrastructure. Over the last 15 years, KBE has built more than 2 million square feet of facilities on 15 Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic campuses, totaling $400,000,000 in construction costs. Even with this impressive array of projects, KBE is not typically a company that completes a project and moves on to the next campus. The firm’s preconstruction, support, and construction professionals pride themselves on creating long-lasting relationships with the staff and faculty of each college or university, coming back time and time again to perform maintenance or to complete other renovations and additions. Building strong relationships with the area’s trade contractors is another point of pride. In Connecticut alone, KBE has completed nine projects at the University of Bridgeport, eight at the University of Connecticut, seven at Wesleyan University and Eastern Connecticut State University, six projects for Western Connecticut State University, two at the University of Hartford, and more than 250 projects for Connecticut College. In Maryland, KBE has completed five projects at St. Mary’s College and two at the University of Maryland. KBE has also made a name for itself in higher education by introducing Asset Reinvestment, a KBE initiative designed to improve deferred maintenance. Deferred maintenance is one of the least glamorous, but most pressing, issues facing college and university facility managers today.

UNIvERSITY oF CoNNECTICUT Renovations at McMahon Dining Hall were completed this August. The 14,000 square foot, $7.1 million project includes a 5,500 square foot addition and comprehensive renovations to create a new dining facility with all new kitchen equipment. The project was designed by PCA. This is KBE’s eighth project for the University. Past projects include Hilltop Residence Hall, the award-winning renovation and addition to the Student Union, and code upgrades to more than 50 buildings on the Storrs campus and three satellite campuses.
HooD CoLLEGE KBE has been working with Hood College since 2009 on an extensive, $20 million, campus-wide facilities improvement program. The second phase included construction of six new tennis courts and renovations to the College’s Aquatic Center, which was completed in August of 2012, with KBE’s design-build partner, The Design Collective. KBE also established an endowment fund to partially support a head tennis coach position at Hood College. KBE will be donating $25,000 over five years to the fund.
CoNNECTICUT CoLLEGE The $17 million Science Center at Connecticut College’s historic New London Hall renovated the 26,000 square foot building and added a 10,000 square foot addition. The new life and computer sciences center includes classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, a modernized greenhouse, and an Electron Microscopy Suite. Forty-five geothermal wells provide 100% of the building’s heating and cooling needs. The project is pursuing LEED Gold. KBE and Payette Architects met the highly accelerated schedule – a 44-month design and construction schedule compressed to just 26 months.
Not surprisingly, therefore, maintenance and enhancement projects at existing facilities are very difficult to get funded, although they are extremely vital to creating a strong campus aesthetic that attracts students. KBE’s Asset Reinvestment program groups together multiple facilities improvement projects into a single, linear building program that is not only easier to fund, but can often be completed over summer break. Currently, KBE is completing Asset Reinvestment projects at Connecticut College in New London, Hood College in Frederick, MD, and the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, CT.
UNIvERSITY oF RHoDE ISLAND KBE recently completed the $32.8 million Hillside Residence Hall at University of Rhode Island. Designed by Lerner | Ladds + Bartels, the striking, five-story, 97,618 square foot residence hall provides 429 beds, multi-purpose spaces, classrooms, and residential life offices. Designed for LEED Silver certification, the facility features solar water heating system, radiant heating, green roofing, recycled building materials, and reclaimed rain water for the surrounding gardens.
Another important aspect of KBE’s philosophy is its commitment to “green” construction. KBE and its design partners routinely collaborate with colleges or universities to design projects that meet LEED certification standards or other sustainable design standards. In the past six months, the firm has completed major projects at five campuses in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maryland, including: • McMahon Dining Hall at the University of Connecticut;
• Huntsinger Aquatic and Tennis Center and dining hall renovations at Hood College in Frederick, MD; • the new Science Center at Connecticut College in New London;
• Hillside Residence Hall at the University of Rhode Island; and
• Renovations to the Recreation Center at Rhode Island College. KBE’s employees are very proud of the collegiate additions, renovations, and deferred maintenance upgrades they’ve completed throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Maryland. Even if their collective work would not constitute the largest campus in the country, they like to think it would be the most impressive.
RHoDE ISLAND CoLLEGE KBE also completed life safety upgrades to the University of Rhode Island’s Memorial Union Hall. The $1.9 million project included a new fire alarm system, new sprinkler system, fire door replacement, stair guard rail, and new ceilings. The work also included architectural renovations to the commuter lounge, replacements of emergency lighting and exit signs, and asbestos abatement. The facility remained partially occupied throughout the construction, and the upgrades were completed in May.

Union Block Retrofit Completed
laremont, NH - Construction of a complete energy retrofit for a historic landmark in Claremont has recently been completed and already seen throughout New Hampshire as a model on how to preserve buildings that are a part of the state’s history. Union Block Building was built in 1888 with a commercial design, replacing Brown’s Wooden Block, which burnt in 1879. Recently, Union Block has become the heart of redeveloping the town’s commercial center. With 36,000sf of historic commercial and residential space it became evident to the owner that in order to attract and retain tenants there were substantial improvements needed. The project was overseen by the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources and an architectural historian, funded through grants and loans by the Community Development Finance Authority. The project was managed by Bruss Construction and Integrated Business Energy Associates (IBEA). The framework for the project was provided through an energy audit by the Jordan Institute. This work formed the Basis of Design provided to the design team headed by White/Laurin Architects. IBEA performed measurement and verification services on the building, and Bruss Construction managed and implemented the energy-efficiency measures set out in the proposal. The building remained operation-

al throughout the entire six month process. The retrofit improvements to the envelope included: installing new low-e insulated glass and doors at some of the storefront, refurbishing a historic skylight with low-e insulated glass, adding spray foam and blown-in cellulose to the attic for an Rvalue of 60, and air sealing the basement. HVAC work included adding mechanical ventilation and solar thermal hot water system. The most significant part of the project involved changing the heating system from a one-zone steam system to a multi-zone forced hot water system, fired by wood pellet boilers This project is a positive example of how to improve occupant health, safety,

Completion of the work recognized a 60% energy savings, and a 75% energy cost savings all while keeping Union Block a historic center to Claremont’s business district. The project team included construction managers: Bruss Construction; energy verification: Integrated Building Energy Associates; owner rep: Jordon Institute; mechanical engineering: Yeaton Associates; bio mass: Froling, LLC; mechanical contractor: Granite State Plumbing and Heating; engineer: Steffensen Engineering Associates; architects: Stuart White and David Laurin from White Laurin Architects; and solar hot water: HB Energy Solutions.

The new dormitory uses solar panels on the roof to provide anywhere from 60%to 100% of its hot water needs, and any excess hot water is used to offset the demands of the high-efficiency boiler and the campus laundry facility located in the building basement. Other sustainable features include a super-insulated building envelope that will reduce heating loads by up to 30% below required levels, water-efficient toilets, and Energy Star appliances. Construction began in July 2010, faculty moved in this summer, and the dorm welcomed the first students at the start of the 2012-2013 academic year.

A laboratory renovation and upgrade was undertaken simultaneously in Forsyth Hall. The work in Mugar Life Sciences Building continues this fall with three projects. These include renovations to two chemistry laboratories, including heavy mechanical system installations, and the conversion of offices to a student advising suite. The building continues to be heavily used throughout construction, so the work is being carefully scheduled to minimize any disruption to ongoing activities.

Erland Completes Edward M. Kennedy Center Renovations
ramingham, MA – Erland Construction, Inc. of Burlington recently completed major renovations, and a grand opening was held at the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center at 354 Waverly St. in Framingham. Teaming with Steffian Bradley Architects of Boston, Erland renovated the existing office building into approximately 8,000sf of clinical space, which nearly doubled the center’s previous capacity. An addition to the medical office building features a new lobby and elevator. The entire first floor was renovated, along with a portion of the third floor. The second and third floors were occupied by other businesses that remained in operation throughout the building’s renovations. The major challenge on this project was maintaining handicap access to the second floor, once the existing elevator lobby was demolished, for the human services tenants that remained – including a 24/7 suicide hotline.
Steffian Bradley Architects
Erland’s project team at the grand opening were (l-r): Steve Craft, Rick Jensen, Scott Bates, Andy Burns, and Mark Ventura. Collaborating with the town’s elevator access board, Erland built a temporary enclosed wheelchair lift to enable handicapped access to the second and third floors throughout construction of the new elevator. The new location now features examination rooms, patient rooms, a laboratory, private offices for patient consultations, and staff conference rooms. New sprinklers were installed throughout the building, which was completed during nights and weekends in occupied areas to ensure minimal disruption to current tenants.

CT College New London Hall Celebrates Opening Vanderweil, Payette, and KBE Partner Up
New London, CT – Saturday, October 27 marked the dedication of Connecticut College’s Science Center at New London Hall, which recently underwent a full renovation and 14,000sf expansion. New London Hall is the oldest and original building on this prestigious campus. As part of this project, the building has been upgraded and positioned to serve the next generation of research and education. The building is provided with state-of-theart botany, biological, robotics, computer science, and general research and teaching spaces. The building supports both formal and informal interaction space utilizing strategically located spaces, vision glass, and supporting projection and presentation capabilities. The building is augmented by a state-of-the-art greenhouse employing automatic environmental controls and monitoring for their college’s botany education and research. Sustainable design and clean, consistent integration into the existing building’s design and campus were paramount as demonstrated by the utilizing of a new geothermal system. The geothermal system will significantly reduce the overall building’s energy usage and carbon footprint while also respecting the architectural presence of the building through the elimination of unsightly cooling tower infrastructure.
The building’s cooling and heating demands for the building are delivered from a central 240-ton heat pump located in the basement mechanical room. The heat pump is served from 45 500-foot deep closed loop wells located in nearby Tempel Green. The building’s engineering infrastructure has been optimized by utilizing high-performance fume hoods, high-performance ductwork and variable air volume air handler design, and exhaust air energy recovery. The energy savings are estimated to be greater than 33% with an associated greenhouse gas emissions reduction of 60%. Due to the tight existing structure and laboratory programmatic upgrades of the building, the design team utilized Revit to model the project. The BIM model proved critical to support the air handler design and associated ductwork and piping distribution in the penthouse. The BIM model also facilitated pre-construction design reviews and visualization of the various building aspects with the greater project team. The project was designed by Payette Architects and constructed by KBE Building Corporation. Vanderweil Engineers served as the MEP engineer on the project.

High-Profile Feature: The Bay House
Metric Begins the Bay House Portland, ME - The Metric Corporation has begun construction of the Bay House, in Portland. The project involves the new construction of 94 residential units, which will be located in two mid-rise towers over an 80-space underground parking garage. The ground floor will contain six units dedicated to commercial / retail space. Metric has been involved with the Bay House for more than a year, working closely with the architect, the owner’s project manager, and the developers to ensure that the steel podium, wood-framed building would be built in a cost-effective manner. The estimating team used value engineering to reduce the cost of construction, while still maintaining the high-quality workmanship that Metric provides. The Bay House is the first market-rate project of its size in two decades in Portland. Previously a one-story restaurant with a large parking lot, it is now the first full utilization of the property in the former industrial sector of the city. The building will energize the redevelopment of the East End / India Street area and will also serve as a major step forward towards Portland’s housing goals and comprehensive plan, which were reestablished in 2001. Currently, 42 luxury condominiums are for sale, with six under contract already and several more expected shortly. The units offer high-quality, single-level living from 600sf to 2,100sf. They range in price from $200,000 to $795,000 and feature luxurious

borhood in mind. The Bay House pays tribute to Portland’s past, while still emphasizing today’s modern lifestyle. The design, which takes advantage of the metropolitan setting, also features a private courtyard over the garage, where residents can enjoy the outdoors in the midst of an urban setting.
Landmarc Construction, headed by Marc Gagnon, serves as the owner’s project manager. Based in Maine, Landmarc has 23 years of general contracting and project management experience and is collaborating with Metric to develop cost control and budgeting.

Wellesley, MA – Waterstone at Wellesley, a new mixed-use senior residential complex, has been recognized as a winner in the “Best New Development: Senior Housing” category by the 2012 MultiHousing News Excellence Awards.

Windover Selected for Penguin Hall Designed by EGA
Penguin Hall
Wenham MA - Windover Construction has recently been selected as the builder for Penguin Hall, a 50 acre estate in Wenham that will be transformed into a senior independent living community. Developed by Wise Living and designed by EGA Architects, the project includes 192 total homes, ranging from 850sf to over 2,000sf. Built in 1929 by Ruby Boyer Miller, Penguin Hall’s original mansion and grounds feature period architecture in a unique estate setting. In addition to an extensive renovation of the existing mansion, the project will include the construction of three new Manor Houses, each housing 12 to 16 residences. The entire project will have a 1930s style to maintain the estate’s historic elegance. Penguin Hall property owner and
project principal Jim Mullen is particularly proud of the project’s new direction. “Penguin Hall served Ruby Boyer Miller as an elegant summer retreat and then Mullen Communications as a distinguished corporate headquarters. There is no one better than Windover to ready it for a new career as an elegant Senior Independent Living Community.” Amenities include a restaurant, wellness center and spa, lap and plunge pools, gardens with a four-season greenhouse and access to Gordon College’s academic curriculum. Every home comes with a thoroughly equipped kitchen and sunroom ringed with windows. Both the connected and independent homes, as well as the heated, below-home parking, are elevatorserved.
Condo Project Completed Designed by CBT Architects
Brookline, MA - Construction on the $8.35 million condominium project in the Fisher Hill neighborhood of Brookline for Boston-based developer New Atlantic Development Corporation has been completed. The 24-unit Olmsted Hill represents the culmination of eight years of community planning to bring more affordable housing to the town, and residents are already beginning to move in. Designed by CBT Architects, the moderate income homes were designed to fit seamlessly into an existing neighborhood originally planned by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, designer of the Emerald Necklace and Central Park. The project was developed by Nauset Construction Corporation in two phases, the first being the demolition and backfilling of the former Brookline reservoir, which was taken offline in the ’50s when Brookline tied into the MWRA system. “The site preparation may have been the most impressive part of this project,” said Terry Stretch, senior project manager for Nauset. Two enormous underground tanks were removed and filled in with 45,000 cubic feet of compacted fill to manufacture a regular site. That preparation also included the installation of subdivision utilities and

Olmsted Hill the construction of a new street, Olmsted Road. The second phase was the creation of 11 lots; 10 were sold at market value to help finance the affordable portion of the project, with the remaining lot designated for the three-building, 24-unit condominium development, complete with an underground parking garage for 34 vehicles. Designed to look like a turn of the century estate, the development is comprised of a 16-unit “main house,” a courtyard, a “guest house” with four more units, and another four-unit “gate house.” “From an architect’s perspective it really integrates affordable housing into this established neighborhood in a way that doesn’t single it out,” said Ellen Perko, associate principal at CBT Architects. Olmsted Hill will provide a highly sustainable, green lifestyle for its residents. All units are Energy Star certified and are LEED certifiable.
