Nipmuc Regional High School consists of 13 different roofs with varying systems such as standing seam metal roof, asphalt shingle, EPDM membrane, as well as concrete pavers over EPDM creating an accessible patio space. All of these roof systems will be replaced as a part of the MSBA accelerated repair program. This project is currently in the CD phase.
General John Nixon Elementary School was originally built in 1959, with renovations in 1994. The Town of Sudbury is looking to replace the roof at the 1994 addition, consisting of six different roof levels. Majority of the roofs included in this project scope consist of an adhered EPDM membrane, with one roof consisting of a metal paneled system. There are several locations where failure is evident and many attempts have been made to stop leaks. Replacement of these systems are necessary.
Civitects was retained by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) to investigate locations where roof leaks are occuring and to develop a plan for the replacement of the existing roof system
Josiah Haynes Elementary School was originally built in 1964, with subsequent renovations occurring in 1998. There are a total of 10 different roof levels including asphalt shingle and black EPDM. There are multiple examples of failure across the different systems, with attempts to seal and patch leaks. Leaks are becoming evident on the interior as well and the roof requires replacement to mitigate future issues.
The new aircraft hangar, the first of its kind for the University, was designed to meet the increasing needs of the Bridgewater State University Aviation program.
Long considered a pioneer in the field of aviation among Massachusetts higher education facilities, the design and construction of the new hangar is in direct response to student’s need to log in more flight time throughout the year by protecting aircrafts from adverse weather conditions. During colder weather, frost can accumulate on unprotected aircraft forcing the cancellation of training sessions. The new aircraft hangar was designed to store up to six Cessna aircrafts and is situated adjacent to the University’s existing Flight Training Center at the New Bedford Regional Airport.
The new Student Accessibility Services Office Suite located within the Rondileau Student Union at Bridgewater State University provides dedicated space for individuals seeking academic support. Previously located as a smaller sub-space within the campus library, the Student Accessibility Services was rapidly out growing their space and in need of a more functional environment to provide students with the best experience possible. The availability of an existing space in the student union proved to be the perfect relocation, gaining more space for the program as well as situating SAS to a more centralized location on campus.
In addition to the suite, Civitects also renovated adjacent toilet rooms. The existing women`s toilet room and powder room were converted into men`s, women`s, and gender-inclusive toilet rooms.
