Bowdoin Construction breaks ground at Boston Trinity Academy Athletic Center
Boston, MA Work is underway on the new Bradley Athletic Center at Boston Trinity Academy. When complete, the new 8,800 s/f facility will house a 4,200 s/f basketball court, along with bleachers, courtside seating, locker rooms, a prep kitchen, and office space.
Additional exterior work involves the installation of new drainage utilities, curbed islands, site lighting, and paving in the parking lot area, along with new sidewalks, fencing, and other landscaping improvements.
A ceremonial groundbreaking event was held recently, with the school administration, members of the board of trustees, and local officials in attendance. At the event, Frank Guerra, headmaster of Boston Trinity Academy said, “We are excited because the Bradley Athletic Center will not only be a facility for us to host games with students cheering and stomping their feet for our teams, but also because it will give us space for our authentic community to gather together in unity.”
Construction manager Bowdoin Construction is working in concert with Jones Architecture to make this vision a reality.
