Fall River YMCA Comprehensive Renovation

Fall River, MA

The goal of this project was a comprehensive renovation to the YMCA’s existing facilities in Fall River. The original building was built in various phases between 1898 and 1964. For this reason special attention had to be given to resolving issues related to varying floor and ceiling heights between the different structures, while also providing a new addition to the northeast corner of the building, including an elevator and connection to the existing natatorium. Two supplementary full-height stair cases were also required within the main building in order to provide proper egress.

This project was part of a multi-phased renovation to the existing lab spaces in Umass’ Textile Building. This phase of the project included a pair of teaching labs (for both “wet” and “dry” experiments) and a portion of the surrounding support spaces, for both current and future use. Due to the phased nature of the project careful consideration had to be given when planning the spaces in order to avoid redundant or unnecessary work in future phases. Additionally the support spaces were planned in order to allow use by both the current and future labs planned for the space.
