Project Update: Harvard Medical School, Department of Social Medicine
The renovations to 641-643 Huntington Avenue are more than fifty percent complete. Both 4-story buildings totaling 29,000 S/F will be combined to serve as administrative offices for the Department of Social Medicine. The scope of work includes a full structural retrofit of the existing buildings to accommodate the new architectural layout. High-end interior finishes will be furnished throughout. The buildings will receive new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. In order to provide access to all floors, an 8-stop elevator is being installed at the core of the two structures. In addition, the exterior is undergoing a full rehab ranging from complete repointing of the masonry to new windows. All equipment and finishes on the project have been specifically selected to contribute toward the goal of achieving LEED Gold Certification under the United States Green Building Council. The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2009.
