Gymnasium Entrance Renovation

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Original services began with a proposal to replace the soffit panels around the exterior of the gymnasium. The scope of the soffit replacement project was later expanded to include new glazing at the primary (East) entrance of the gymnasium. New storefront-type curtain walls were installed at the lobby entrance with three sets of accessible double doors on the ground floor.

Copeland Building Stabilization

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Located precipitously at the edge of the Cape Cod Canal, the steel and masonry Copeland Building was being considered for demolition following critical damage during 1996 repairs to the bulkhead forming the water’s edge upon which it sits. Through expedient emergency measures, including hydraulic jacking and installation of grade beams, the building was stabilized. The building, originally constructed in 1933-34, has recently been renovated and continues to serve the Academy.
