Wise Construction Corporation has formed a partnership with Year Up Boston to complete renovations at the non-profit organization's Boston location as part of the Wise corporate giving effort. Wise will perform interior renovations to Year Up Boston's existing offices to create new classrooms, work space, and conference rooms to enhance the teaching environment for its young students.
Working with the design team at Miller Dyer Spears Inc. and R.W. Sullivan Engineers, Wise expects to complete the renovations in time for Year Up's 12th class of students. Wise is donating its construction management services in support of the work that Year Up is achieving in providing urban young adults with the educational skills and opportunity to gain full-time employment and continue their education.
Casey Recupero, Year Up's executive director, is grateful for Wise's commitment to the collaboration. "Wise's commitment to our mission has been evident since day one," said Recupero.
"Providing opportunities for young adults to learn the basic skills of business is a win-win for everyone involved," said John Wise, president of Wise. "Our construction team is enthusiastic about this project and looks forward to moving Year Up into its new 11,000 s/f of teaching facilities and interactive classrooms."
