G. Greene Construction completes design/build project with Wilson Architects at Boston University

In August, G. Greene Construction completed a design/build project with Wilson Architects. The job entailed designing and constructing a new Media Center in the Sargent College Building at Boston University. The scope of work included a complete fit-out of a 3,000 s/f study hall that was converted into an IT server/work room and a computer and study lounge. This new center offers students' workspace to produce projects and literature related to their studies. New finishes within the center include bamboo wood paneling, cork flooring, low VOC paints and high recycled content ceiling tiles and countertops. All materials used on the project complied with the LEED for Commercial Interiors program including directing construction waste to recycling plants, maintaining air quality both before and after construction and the use of rapidly renewable and environmentally-friendly materials. This project also underwent a full commissioning of the systems upon completion to confirm that they were operating properly and efficiently. All work was completed directly above a sound lab that required minimal noise disruptions. The G. Greene team worked closely with Boston University throughout the entire budget process to come up with a LEED certifiable project that met all budgetary guidelines and scheduling requirements. Currently, this project is being submitted for a LEED Silver certification. In addition to this project, G. Greene Construction is currently working at Harvard Medical School renovating over 29,000 s/f of office space on Huntington Ave. The project has been designated as a LEED Gold certification under the USGBC's rating system. The construction process, materials utilized and the resulting building must meet the certification credit requirements in order to attain the gold status. Established in 1966, G. Greene Construction has gained the reputation as committed professionals who can manage a project from pre-construction through completion, guaranteeing exceptional quality and exceeding the goals and expectations of their clients.  G. Greene's thorough understanding of the unique requirements within each of the industries they work in gives them the advantage of taking on any project with confidence. Whether the project involves highly sensitive hospital environments or stringent schedule deadlines their experience is testimony to their ability to work under extreme conditions.
