Since their first project back in the mid 1980s with the Tower School in Marblehead the academic portfolio of Carr Enterprises has continuously expanded and now includes many of the major independent schools and colleges in the area today. Repeat projects for clients such as Pingree School, the Meadowbrook School, Cape Cod Academy and Tufts University make up only a small portion of the many academic projects Carr has completed since their first days working for Tower School, which is also a repeat client.
Most recently, Carr has worked on a construction management basis for two outstanding independent schools in the New England area, the Meadowbrook School in Weston, and Cape Cod Academy in Osterville. Carr's relationship with both of these schools is longstanding and also includes repeat projects.
Carr's start with Meadowbrook School began in 2000 when the firm was selected by Meadowbrook as construction manager (CM) for their new $2.8 million classroom addition. While construction was nearing completion in 2001, Meadowbrook once again chose Carr as CM for their new $4.1 million multipurpose building which was completed in September of 2002. Shortly after that, Carr also completed construction for their new entry lobby.
After a few years, Meadowbrook once again decided to build, and contacted Carr to negotiate a CM contract for another project, the school's new MacDowell Center. This project is a $7.6 million dining and classroom building which was completed in September of 2007, and is Carr's fourth construction project completed for Meadowbrook in seven years.
In October of 2000, Carr was awarded, by competitive bid, the construction of Cape Cod Academy's $4.4 million Lower School addition which was completed in the fall of 2001. The school contacted Carr again in 2004 and hired the firm on a negotiated basis as construction manager for their new $4.5 million science building. As with Meadowbrook, Carr's role as CM included typical preconstruction services, and this project was completed in late fall of 2005.

Carr has also been fortunate to work with many other academic clients, both as a construction manager and general contractor. Included in this list is Phillips Andover Academy, Groton School, The Academy of the Pacific Rim Charter School, The Covenant Christian School, Glen Urquhart School, as well as MIT in Cambridge.
