Bowdoin Construction completes South Shore Baptist Church

Bowdoin Construction recently completed the major expansion and historic renovation of the South Shore Baptist Church, a 1950s classic New England landmark. Designed by Strekalovsky Architecture, the 26,030 s/f two-level addition features a new 740-person sanctuary, multi-level choir space, a new entrance lobby with elevator, reception areas, staff offices, nursery space, ten classroom / meeting spaces, storage and restrooms. The project also included renovations to the existing 18,800 s/f two-story church building which is located in the historic district of Hingham. Renovations included all new wood clapboard siding and exterior painting, a new kitchen, restrooms, storage space, mechanical room upgrades, a new sprinkler system and fire alarm upgrades. Additional project requirements included a new Amphidrome sewer treatment system, expanded parking, new water, gas and electric service, and the relocation of a 1780s historic home. Prior to construction, Bowdoin provided several months of budgeting, scheduling, safety and logistics planning in close coordination with the Church, Strekalovsky Architecture and the town.
