Johnny Kelley Park – New Recreation Building

South Dennis, MA

Civitects recently completed a new recreation building for the Town of Dennis, MA at Johnny Kelley Park. The new building, which sits adjacent to an existing recreation pavilion, was designed to serve as a community space for a wide-range of recreational activities from summer camps to town meetings.

In response to the town’s need for an all-season facility sufficiently sized to accommodate the Recreation Department’s successful summer program, the new structure incorporated a great room, office space, and new restrooms. The new building was designed to be fully accessible and offers sufficient space for a variety of indoor recreational activities while also functioning as a public meeting space for the town. Both the Great Room and the Office space can be securely locked from public access, however, the restrooms are positioned immediately inside of the main entrance, making them publicly accessible throughout the year for pedestrians enjoying the park or nearby trails.

Bridgewater State University – New Bedford Regional Airport Aircraft Hangar – New Bedford, MA

Aircraft Hangar

Bridgewater State University – New Bedford Regional Airport

New Bedford, MA

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.
