Timberline Construction completes multiple renovations for higher educational clients

Lindsay Hall, Bentley College, Boston, MA.

Boston, MA Timberline Construction completed several renovation projects for Northeastern University and Bentley University. The renovations were completed with one goal in mind – to improve the overall campus experience of living and learning for their students. The projects involved upgrades and improvements to residence halls, an auditorium and a student center.

Following the completion of renovations to Bentley’s Birch and Alder Tree Dorms in 2015, Timberline was invited back to campus in 2016 to renovate the Cedar and Elm Tree Dorms. The project involved exterior masonry restoration and roof replacements for the student residence halls, which were designed by Simpson Gumpertz & Heger. Interior renovations, designed by Lincoln Architects, included updated restrooms and common areas, as well as a new laundry room. Additionally, Timberline renovated a 6,000 s/f auditorium located in Lindsay Hall. The renovated space, designed by Miller Dyer Spears, features a contemporary design, modern lighting, elevated ceilings, a new stage configuration, and improved acoustics.
