& Heger (SGH), who are responsible for the building exterior, and Arup, who will provide the electrical and fire protection services. Key elements include the preservation of the building envelope, interior repairs to address water infiltration, and life safety/accessibility code upgrades. Construction is led by Shawmut Design and Construction. Work on TMCO involved strategically inserting updated electrical and lifesafety systems into the existing building fabric to bring the structure up to code, while leaving the original interiors intact. Additional interior work included plaster repairs, restoration of damaged interior stonework and mosaic tile, and restoration of the interior decorative painting. “The team had to carefully design and implement the work in order to ensure that there were no areas in the building that showed traces that we were ever there,” notes Regan Shields Ives, Finegold Alexander principal. “The result is a modernized, code-compliant church that harkens back to its original splendid design.”
