Aircraft Hangar

Bridgewater State University – New Bedford Regional Airport

Bridgewater, 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.

Campus Center Entrance Renovation

Bridgewater State University

Originally designed prior to the enactment of the ADA, one of the prime goals of the project was to provide easy and direct handicapped access to both venues. Additional goals of the project included consideration of program revisions to better respond to current uses and improve general curb appeal.

The revisions to the Campus Center Main Entrance include an open and flexible plan that will serve as a link between East and West Campuses with various digital media upgrades.

Dartmouth, MA

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.
