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.

Student Accessibility Services Office Suite Renovation

Bridgewater State University

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.
