Lee Kennedy Company completes the Patrick F. Cadigan ’52 Family Foundation Wellness Complex at Boston College High School

Boston, MA Lee Kennedy Company (LKCO) has completed the Patrick F. Cadigan ’52 Family Foundation Wellness Complex at Boston College High School. This 42,000 s/f, state-of-the-art facility, designed by Eck | MacNeely Architects, represents a bold investment in student health, holistic development, and community well-being.

The two-story facility features a 6,200 s/f strength and conditioning area, a 3,700 s/f cardio space, a 1,000 s/f athletic training center, and an eight-lane, 25-meter pool by Myrtha Pools, including their innovative Myrtha Breathe system, complete with one-meter and three-meter diving boards.

Complementing these athletic spaces are flexible classrooms and a teaching kitchen designed to support wellness education and lifelong learning. The project required intricate planning and precise execution. The LKCO team skillfully integrated the new construction with the existing school building – all while keeping daily school operations and nearby athletic fields fully active. Adding to the challenge, the project team utilized an innovative sequencing strategy: fabricating the pool first and then constructing the building around it. This forward-thinking approach optimized quality control, improved efficiency, and maximized use of the limited site footprint.

“Delivering a facility of this caliber required close collaboration, creative problem-solving, and a deep commitment from everyone involved,” said project executive, Dan Lebiedz “Our team is proud to help BC High create a space that will inspire wellness for generations of Eagles.”
