 Harvard Medical School: Countway Library
The G. Greene
team completed multi-phased renovations to three floors within the Countway
Library at Harvard
Medical School. Each 14,000 S/F floor was gutted and
converted into research, office and collection spaces. In keeping with Harvard's prestigious image,
high-end millwork with stained oak encompass each floor. In addition, new carpeting and acoustical
ceiling tiles complimented with straight and curvilinear partitions are furnished
throughout. During the project, G.
Greene faced the challenge of working in an occupied area and also lacked easy
accessibility to the space due to the absence of a freight elevator. G. Greene overcame these challenges by using
a multi-tiered scaffolding platform placed adjacent to the library; all
materials were hoisted on to a platform then directed into the building. This fast-track project was completed on
schedule.
