Chapman Construction/Design completes two projects for Cambridge College

Chapman Construction/Design is nearing completion on two major projects on two campuses for Cambridge College. Chapman is serving as the construction manager for the fit-up of the college's School of Management on Monsignor Highway in Cambridge as well as executing the second phase of renovations to the college's satellite Lawrence campus adding new office space. Chapman first began working with Cambridge College in 1993, renovating 50,000 s/f of space for the institution's first building located at 1000 Mass. Ave. Over the next several years as the college's student body grew and the college expanded, Chapman was called in for several subsequent expansions to the building, adding another 25,000 s/f of classrooms to that location. Beginning in 2003, the college retained Chapman to begin the first of two phases of work at their newer satellite campus in Lawrence, building out classrooms and administration offices. The Lawrence campus occupies formerly vacant 19th century brick mills and has presented Chapman with the opportunity to combine its strengths in historic restoration and tenant fit-up work. Currently, Chapman is completing the second phase of renovations, adding more office space, as well as renovating 30,000 s/f space for the School of Management in Cambridge. Both projects are slated for completion later this month. As Cambridge College has expanded its educational programs over the years, Chapman has been the school's go-to construction manager. The projects have ranged from small cosmetic overhauls and facility repairs at Mass. Ave. to larger-scale renovations at 80 Prospect St., also in Cambridge, for the College's School of Education. When the two current projects conclude, the total work Chapman has completed for Cambridge College will be nearly 130,000 s/f. "We have been working with Chapman for a number of years, and we have received wonderful service and wonderful work from the guys," says Jennifer Tonneson, Cambridge College's vice president for finance, administration and student services.
