BABSON COLLEGEARTHUR M. BLANK CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP – WELLESLEY, MA

ARCHITECTCBT/Childs Bertman Tseckares, Inc.

CONSTRUCTION VALUE$3.3 M

DURATION8 Months

PROJECT SIZE10,400 sf

Construction of a new building on an occupied campus is always a challenge; even more so when the new building is to be attached to an occupied classroom facility and must be completed on an aggressive schedule during a spring of record-breaking rains. Key to this project’s success was an intensive, seven-month pre-construction effort.

The project team coordinated phases around the academic calendar, procured long-lead materials, set foundations in mid-December, devised alternate methods of construction to accommodate varying weather conditions, and developed logistics plans to minimize the impact of construction on the campus community.

In addition to faculty offices and classrooms, the three-story building includes a major entrepreneurial exhibit, archive area, advanced tel/data equipment and a high-tech teleconferencing studio. Despite a number of challenges, Babson’s new center was completed on schedule.


BABSON COLLEGEEXECUTIVE CONFERENCE CENTER – WELLESLEY, MA

ARCHITECTJeter Cook & Jepson Architects, Inc.

CONSTRUCTION VALUE$30 M

DURATION16 Months

PROJECT SIZE100,000 sf Addition 400-Car Garage

Babson’s Executive Conference Center hosts an internationally recognized, intensive program that operates 24/7, meaning all conference space, accommodations, and the campus itself could not be heavily impacted or disrupted by construction. The solution involved building temporary facilities to accommodate the CEE visitors and staff, including a temporary kitchen in the basement.

The new executive education complex doubled the size of the existing facility and houses interactive classrooms, two amphitheater-style lecture halls, 26 break-out rooms, a videoconferencing/distance learning center, as well as a new 82-room executive hotel with a restaurant-style dining room featuring a commercial-grade kitchen and

servery. The complex also includes a two-deck, 400-car parking garage spanning 120,000 sf supported by a post-tension system to serve as a foundation for future office space. Construction challenges included integrating the building systems and finishes of the addition with those of the existing structure, especially since the new structure contains two different types of framing systems. The 16-month project was delivered six weeks ahead of schedule.

BABSON COLLEGECAMPUS UTILITIES UPGRADES – WELLESLEY, MA

ENGINEERShooshanian Engineering, Inc.


DURATION16 Months

PROJECT SIZECampus-wide

To update the utilities systems without major disruptions to campus life, Babson worked closely with Shawmut to plan, sequence, and seamlessly execute the campus-wide infrastructure upgrades necessary to modernize its facilities.

The work involved upgrades to the electrical, water, and storm drainage systems, including replacement of the high-voltage distribution system with new transformers at each building and main switchgear. It also entailed a new water main system, meter vault, fire pump system, replacement of storm drains, new roads and street lighting, and extensive landscaping.

The sequence of work and building shutdowns were carefully planned in advance. Constant and open communications were critical to the project’s success. Shawmut kept the Babson Facilities Department, students, all academic and campus life groups, Town of Wellesley officials, and local utility companies up-to-date with tools such as a zone map indicating the schedule of work and active participation at town meetings.


BABSON COLLEGE - KEITH CANFIELD AND MCCULLOUGH LIFE SAFETY UPGRADES – WELLESLEY, MA

ARCHITECTGoody Clancy


DURATION10 Weeks

PROJECT SIZE70,000 sf (spanning three buildings)

Babson hired Shawmut to replace and upgrade the fire protection and life safety systems in three dormitories on an extremely fast-track summer schedule.

The scope of work involved installing new sprinkler systems in over 250 dormitory rooms, as well as replacing all the electrical distribution systems within the buildings. Upgrades were also performed on the bathrooms and common rooms in the dorms, including new paint, lighting, mill work, and other finishes. Installing these new utility systems required frequent communication with Babson officials to minimize disruption to the campus utility network.

Other project challenges included performing underground excavation work to run the new sprinkler lines and coordinating the construction activities around Babson’s summer camp schedule, the latter of which required off-hours work and extensive safety precautions.


BABSON COLLEGEOFFICE OF PROGRAM MANAGEMENT – WELLESLEY, MA

DURATIONMulti-year

Babson College retained Shawmut to manage a comprehensive, multi-year renewal program for their entire physical campus. This program was developed to assess the condition of the school’s facilities, strategically prioritize and package the projects in the most cost-effective manner, and phase the construction projects to minimize the impact on the campus calendar.

Shawmut developed a proprietary CAMS software system that successfully sorted the facility condition data in a variety of formats and help expedite decisions.

Building on this success, Babson hired Shawmut to represent the school as an outsourced manager to oversee all construction projects on campus. For the next two years, Shawmut staffed Babson’s Office of Project Management and advocated on behalf of the school on all renewal, capital improvement, and infrastructure projects. Services provided include architectural selection, drawing review, cost estimating, scheduling and logistics review, feasibility analyses, capital budgeting, and contract administration.


BABSON COLLEGEPARK MANOR RESIDENCE HALLS – WELLESLEY, MA

ARCHITECTMount Vernon Group


DURATION10 Weeks

PROJECT SIZE100,000 sf (Spanning Four Buildings)

The scope of work for this fast-track project involved upgrading the life safety and fire protection systems in four dormitories to meet Wellesley fire codes. This included replacing all fire alarm panels, running new sprinkler lines, external masonry repointing, and installing transformers and electrical distribution systems. Finishes in the common rooms and bathrooms were also upgraded, including new paint, carpet, and lighting.

The main challenge of the project was completing the full installation of a new electrical distribution system in four buildings on an accelerated 10-week schedule, made tougher by the fact that the buildings required substantial abatement work.

Other challenges included integrating construction around the Babson’s summer athletic camps, which saw upwards of 900 young children on the campus on any given day. Shawmut also had to carefully manage delivery schedules and coordinating utility tie-ins and shutdowns with Babson College officials.


BABSON COLLEGE - PRESIDENT’S HOUSE KITCHEN RENOVATIONS – WELLESLEY, MA

ARCHITECTMount Vernon Group

CONSTRUCTION VALUEWithheld at client’s request

DURATION2 Months

PROJECT SIZE300 sf

Shawmut served as the owner’s representative, overseeing the design and construction processes for this house originally built by Roger Babson in 1926. The renovation to the kitchen of the President’s House required extra attention and care to ensure the school’s every need was met or exceeded.

While the main focus of the project was a complete renovation of the kitchen and butler’s pantry, the scope of work also included a landscaping package and significant upgrades to the HVAC system, where a new air handling system and compressors with five-ton capacity were incorporated into the space.

The project was completed on schedule and delivered a stunning new kitchen used frequently to host high-profile events.


BABSON COLLEGEBABSON SKATING CENTER RENOVATIONS – WELLESLEY, MA

ENGINEERIndependent Consulting Engineers, Inc.


DURATION10 Weeks

This campus rink renovation required the installation of digitized mechanical systems, a new concrete floor to replace the existing sand bed and state-of-the-art drainage and sub-floor heat piping systems.

The design included two to six inches of crushed stone throughout the rink’s surface with filter fabric sloping to six inches of perforated PVC pipe located in the center of the rink, as well as a four foot sump pump for water collection.

Challenges included completing the entire project in an occupied environment while contending with contaminated soils. The project team also needed to resolve frost and settlement issues surrounding the perched water table.

The renovated rink was completed on schedule and according to the original budget in time for the summer hockey camp.


BABSON COLLEGE - THE LUNDER ADMISSION CENTER AT MUSTARD HALL – WELLESLEY, MA

ARCHITECTMount Vernon Group Architects


DURATION3 Months


This ambitious renovation to this historic structure (c. 1923) involved the conversion of the existing Administration Building into a functional new admissions offices, an eye-catching lobby for prospective students, and a new conference room. Now students can take an interactive tour of the campus by using the two high-tech video screens in the waiting area.

Despite the added challenge of a harsh New England winter, Shawmut completed a substantial amount of the exterior work, including new windows, exterior trim, and masonry repairs.

Since school was in session during construction, temporary offices were built in order for the Admissions Department to remain fully operational. The project was completed on schedule.


Babson CollegeUpper Athletic Fields, Phases I & II – wellesley, ma

ARCHITECTImai/Keller Moore, Inc.


DURATIONPhase I: 4 months Phase II: 4 months

Shawmut worked closely with Babson to completely update and improve their upper campus playing fields. The first phase of this project delivered a new multi-purpose synthetic turf field and sports lighting. Two years later, the natural turf field was aligned with the synthetic turf field to allow for the installation of 1,500 custom-designed bleacher seats in three areas.

To maximize space, the seats were built back-to-back with 500 seats facing the 85,000 sf multi-purpose Astroturf field and 500 facing the natural grass field. The remaining 500 seats are located on the opposite side of the grass field. The project scope also included a two-story press box, a formal entry comprised of pavers, brick columns, a wrought iron arch, pedestrian

walkways, lighting, landscaping, and flag poles.

Challenges included coordinating traffic to minimize campus disruption, rebuilding the field drainage systems, and additional planning for future campus-wide infrastructure upgrades. Construction was completed during both phases without any disruption to athletic or academic schedules.


University of New HampshireJames Hall Addition & Renovation – Durham, nh

ARCHITECTEinhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture and Engineering, P.C.


DURATION16 Months


Restoration of historic 1920s classroom building to create state-of-the-art science laboratory and classroom space. The renovation increased the building’s size by 14,000 square feet, using 75% of the existing exterior walls, floors and roof. Historic architectural elements of the building were salvaged and restored, maintaining the character of the building.

The scope of work included a complete interior renovation, installation of energy-efficient M/E/P systems to support the new laboratories, all new site utilities, and the construction of a 20,000 sf addition to provide more teaching classrooms, wet and dry labs, and a clean room. The project required extensive communications with UNH officials to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and visitors, as

construction took place in the heart of the operational college campus with a main pedestrian thoroughfare adjacent to the site.

James Hall received LEED® Gold Certification and was completed ahead of schedule.

Project Size185,000 sf

As part of its multi-phase plan to renovate the historic (1901) building, MIT engaged design/build partner Miller Dyer Spears (MDS) and Shawmut to restore the seven-story structure’s exterior envelope. To renovate the brick and limestone façade and make the building weather tight, the team installed new windows, cleaned masonry and repointed joints, restored limestone features, rebuilt and braced the roof parapets, and replaced the copper onion dome roofs. Shawmut developed mock-ups for everything from the cleaning process and brick matching, to the window installations and parapets. Once approved by MDS and MIT, and reviewed by the Cambridge Historic Commission, Shawmut carefully oversaw the work, ensuring all quality standards were met. For sensitive work such as the old

mortar removal, grinders and hand tools were used to make certain the limestone and bricks were not damaged. The building is H-shaped with 465 beds, the double-loaded corridors include single, double and triple dorm rooms. The project also included a state-of-the-art dining facility to accommodate 500 students. Other amenities included a common kitchen for student use, a yoga studio, a workout room and extensive bike storage; and a 3,000 square foot Master’s Apartment, an Assistant Masters Apartment and several TA Apartments, all of which are suite-style. The project has achieved LEED® Gold Certification.

BOSTON COLLEGEGASSON HALL RESTORATION – CHESTNUT HILL, MA

ARCHITECTMcKinley Kalsow & Associates


DURATION18 Months


Boston College selected Shawmut Design and Construction for their complex historic façade restoration of the signature building, Gasson Hall. Built between the years of 1909 and 1913, Gasson Hall was the first building on the Chestnut Hill Campus. The cast stone masonry details were at the end of their useful life and required removal and replication. The second of two phases primarily involved restoration of the cast stone on the main body of the building.

Shawmut procured and fabricated over 6,500 cast stone units, including decorative and ornamental reproductions of original key features. During the selective removal and replacement of the original units, Shawmut maintained a weather-tight building while working through the winter season to complete the project for the 2011 Fall Semester. This process also involved the protection of historic sculptures and murals within the building. In addition to the façade restoration, the project also included the replacement of exterior elements such as roofing, windows, and historic doors.

A key challenge was the integration of a new mechanical system and life safety systems into the historical building.

DURATION10 Months


In addition to serving as Construction Manager for this historic renovation on the RISD campus, Shawmut worked with the School throughout the preconstruction phase, providing comprehensive estimates as well as value engineering services to help the client manage the project budget.

This fit-out, which included Design/Build M/E/P systems, converted three floors of the historic Hospital Trust Building into a new library, including high-density book storage space, a two-story seating pavilion, reference desk, and circulation island. The second floor houses offices, conference rooms, and a slide library, and also features a special collections area with sensitive temperature and humidity controls. Both the interior and

the exterior of the building are on the Providence Historic Register, meaning integration of sprinkler and mechanical systems had to be done with extreme sensitivity to the ornate ceilings and plasterwork.

The floors above the jobsite contained 198 dorm rooms that were occupied throughout construction so all work was carefully managed to minimize disruption to the students’ daily lives.

DURATION28 months (preconstruction) 26 months (construction)


When the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum opened its doors in 1903, the museum averaged 1,000 visitors a year; today, the figure is closer to 200,000. This multi-phased landmark project provided the Museum with additional programmatic space, alleviated the pressures of increased public access, and ultimately preserved and protected the building and collection from escalating wear and tear.

Designed by award-winning architect Renzo Piano, the new addition connects to the main Palace via a glass corridor, and includes four floating pavilions housing a visitor and orientation area, special exhibition gallery, acoustic performance hall for concerts and lectures, and studio classroom for education and family programs.

In addition, the expansion included a café, Museum shop, classrooms, offices and conservation laboratories as well as a free-standing structure containing additional offices, a greenhouse, and apartments for artists-in-residence. Since the Museum remained open throughout most of the renovation, the team focused on carefully evaluating logistics and phasing options to ensure that disruption was minimized, security was made a top priority, and the existing building and collection were protected throughout the construction duration. The Museum achieved LEED® Gold Certification by incorporating a number of green initiatives including geothermal wells, extensive construction material recycling, radiant heat flooring, and active solar shading.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GREAT DOME AND BARKER LIBRARY ROTUNDA RESTORATION – CAMBRIDGE, MA

There is perhaps no more iconic building on the MIT campus than the dome of Building 10. Since 1916 (then called Building 17) this has been the symbol of the campus itself. Shawmut has worked on campus icons over the past 20 years and was honored to work with MIT and Simpson Gumpertz & Heger on the restoration of this iconic structure. The project involved restoring both the exterior and interior of the dome. Repairs to the exterior structure consisted of a new stainless steel oculus, replicated glass blocks with the original glass design and color and a limestone collar stone, and new flashing for weatherproofing.

The work within the Barker Library involved a new laylite within the interior of the dome, which was re-glazed to match the original design. Additionally, the original paint colors were restored throughout the dome and library space. The interior dome was upgraded with new acoustical panels and an all-new lighting system throughout the space providing illumination within the dome and enhanced lighting for the students and faculty.

5. CM Delivery


Project Delivery PlanShawmut has organized a team of experts imbued with the planning skills, systems protocol, and processes essential to achieving success and with an extensive knowledge of occupied environments.

Shawmut’s management philosophy is simple: full accountability. At Shawmut, accountability is far from an ambiguous promise; it is a hands-on, whatever-it-takes attitude that achieves an on-time turnover with a product that meets all of your goals.

Our core team, backed by the resources of our Project Services Division (PSD), will facilitate a smooth punch-list and turnover process by performing in-house pre-commissioning activities to verify all systems are working properly. Aligned with our company-wide proactive approach to identify all problems before they impact the project, one week before close-out, a PSD representative will walk the job site to identify any items that could impede a successful turnover. These services solidify our commitment to providing you with a hassle-free construction process from pre-construction, to occupancy, through close-out.

Permitting/ExpeditingShawmut can file the appropriate architectural/engineering drawings to obtain permits for the construction portion of the project, if required. As this can be a lengthy process, it often needs to be initiated prior to final design in order to expedite the project schedule. Our extensive experience, alongside established relationships with local offices and officials provides both an efficient process as well as peace of mind. Shawmut can lead an in-depth utilities and code review with all code consultants and municipal officials to verify that the completed Hall of Fame is in total compliance with all appropriate regulations and codes.

BIMAt the forefront of technology, Shawmut offers clients the option of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This state-of-the-art, five dimensional integrated design and logistical planning combines building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, and quantities and properties of building components to provide our clients, design teammates, and end-users with a technologically enhanced visualization of the finished project. With 20 years of virtual construction experience, our in-house BIM expert offers clients the option to create to-scale, accurate images and analyses based on three-dimensional models throughout milestone points of the planning and construction phases.

Emergency Services DepartmentBoth during and after the one-year warranty period, the Project Services Division serves as the Emergency Services Department. The 24/7 service enables our clients to get an immediate response to any service call through our network of on-call emergency contractors. It is activated by simply dialing the main Shawmut telephone number and speaking to an on-call-person, who will promptly assist in addressing your concerns. We will leave behind several copies of the Emergency Subcontractors List specifically for your project so that familiar subcontractors who completed the work are readily available to remedy the situation. This service is one way in which we are committed to your needs long after we have completed work on this project.

6. Project Management


PROJECT MANAGEMENT

COLLABORATION

• Consider each member of the client and design teams as a partner and work in conjunction with all parties in each phase of the project

• Integrate Owner Vendor systems and equipment into our Master Schedule to minimize the potential for delays

• Convey clear understanding of the responsibilities of each party, coordination between team members

• Kick-off meeting to be held with all project team members and other consultants to reach an understanding of the aesthetic and overall quality goals for the project

Constructability Review• Shawmut will perform an in-depth constructability review

including the development of a detailed logistics plan and a site utilization/staging plan

• The knowledge of our expert Team and builders will be invaluable here, as they call upon their strong knowledge of the area, and familiarity with high-profile work to formulate a comprehensive plan

• As the design progresses, Shawmut will continue to monitor the development as it affects constructability, logistical, site, budget, and schedule parameters

Scheduling Predictability• Our Master Project Schedule highlights

pre-construction milestones for key deliverables including, investigative work (if necessary), documentation preparation, bid packages, coordination with client’s vendors, and other critical path activities

• Immediately identify any specialized materials or long-lead items and then create a procurement schedule that tracks each item from ordering to delivery to ensure materials arrive on site when they are needed

• During construction, your project superintendent will supplement Three-Week Look-Ahead Schedules on a weekly basis, which will be sent to your project team, as well as the design team, key subcontractors, and other consultants to provide a more detailed picture of the work to be performed and ensure all trades understand weekly deadlines and the interrelationship between their scope of work and other trades.

Quality Control • Outstanding finished quality is not something that can be

engineered into a building late in the game

• Your Superintendent will inspect all materials before accepting deliveries and monitor the installation of all building systems to ensure they are done correctly and on time

• We carefully check and re-check all systems for peak performance before turning the project over to you at completion

Mitigating Noise & Dust

• Conduct baseline noise level monitoring prior to construction and throughout the construction process

• Solicit input from end-users to determine specific noise limitations

• Inform all parties of daily activities so that a plan of action may be employed for specific tasks

• Install sound attenuating blankets to stop the reverberation of noise on the existing building

• Minimize the creation of airborne dusts and odors through keeping the site organized and clean

• Monitor all fumes from equipment or trucks to reduce emission odors


Change Order Management• Shawmut proactively manages the change order process—

we believe change orders are for modifications in program scope, not for details that were inadvertently missed

• We analyze drawings, seek clarifications, and minimize gaps in scope prior to going out to bid while working diligently to ensure all costs have been accounted for in the initial estimate

• All change orders under consideration will be entered into the system log for Project Manager review. Upon approval, the Change Order will be submitted to the client and Architect and recorded to maintain an accurate history of the project, which the entire team can review on a weekly basis.

Cost Control• Project manager will guide the process to make sure that

the team stays on budget by examining monthly reports and keeping the rest of the project team updated

• Establish a Budget Control Report to track variances to the initial budget in addition to keeping a record as to what items are accepted, as well as potential or rejected revisions

• Faithfully record every change order, contingency adjustment, and value design update to provide the project team with a clear history of the development of the project
