Bowdoin celebrates 35th anniversary

This month marks Bowdoin Construction's 35th anniversary providing pre-construction planning and construction management services throughout the New England region. The company has experienced steady growth over the years and has developed into a full service construction management firm serving five primary market sectors including corporate commercial, academic/cultural, medical/healthcare, hospitality/multifamily, and retail/restaurant developments. Over the past 10 years, Bowdoin has experienced its most significant growth in the academic and healthcare sectors focusing on private colleges, prep schools and medical centers. Recently Bowdoin has celebrated dedication ceremonies for several buildings including the Ken Olsen Science Center at Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., the Agnes Varis Campus Center at Tufts University in Grafton, Mass., the Invensys Foxboro Branch/Kraft Family Center YMCA in Foxboro, Mass., and The ENT Center of Rhode Island in Warwick. Bowdoin is committed to building green, and works with its clients and A/E partners to incorporate a Green Building Initiative into each project's development scope. Most recently, Irwin Yanowitz, Principal, was a speaker at Greenbuild as part of the tour of The Atrium School in Watertown, MA, which has been recognized for its sustainable design features. Bowdoin also takes an active role in giving back to their local community as is evidenced by their in-house Charity Committee. The committee meets monthly and votes on donations to be made by the company to various non-profit organizations. In 2008, Bowdoin's Charity Committee has made contributions to numerous causes including Dana Farber Cancer Institute, American Diabetes Association, Plymouth Salvation Army Food Pantry, and Architecture for Humanity.
