The project implemented Lean practices and utilized window mock-ups to efficiently complete the replacement of 230 7 ft. x 7 ft. windows in both buildings. Demolition and abatement of the window openings–which contained ACMs–and the large panes of glass was executed safely with DEP standards. The scope of work also included installation of new exterior doors, installation of a rooftop exhaust system and upgrades to the second floor restroom to achieve ADA compliance. Our team self-performed window blocking, caulk re-patching and installation of four exterior hollow metal doors.

Our Special Projects Group reconfigured two existing club boardrooms and combined six smaller lounges on two floors into larger, more unified spaces. The new suites feature high-end finishes such as new leather seating and custom millwork for free-standing drink rails, walls, ceilings and three new bars. Our self-perform team installed all food service equipment, including specialty refrigeration and grills, along with all of the millwork on this project.

To accommodate these four large pieces of research equipment, structural and M/E/P modifications to the Mudd Building were required. Our team oversaw the excavation of the basement-level space, the underpinning of existing exterior walls and interior columns and the integration of a new floor slab. Additionally, new M/E/Ps and a complex eight-layer wall system were installed, to ensure the microscopes are encased in a precisely controlled environment, free from vibration and climate impacts. All work was managed around a highly sensitive research facility and active laboratory, requiring advanced levels of coordination, communication and construction mitigation.

Project scope included the removal and salvaging of existing millwork and the installation of new millwork, finishes, doors and hardware, flooring, drops and fixtures and wall repair and painting. Consigli’s self-perform division conducted selective demolition of the gallery’s M/E/P systems with careful attention to adjacent occupied space. Negative air machines and heat detectors were utilized to mitigate impacts of construction dust and noise since the library and museum remained fully occupied throughout the project.

After providing a full range of pre-construction services and managing the demolition and enabling phase of the project, Consigli was an integral member of the construction phase team in a strategic alliance with Skanska USA Building. The project involved complex urban logistics and advanced mitigation planning to minimize neighborhood impacts. Designed by two premier architects, the building features a dramatic envelope with the integration of numerous materials and unique shapes.

With the selection of Maya Lin Studios and Bialosky + Partners as architects, the leadership of Novartis made a strong commitment to cutting-edge design for their signature new buildings. Consigli assisted in the design of the wall system, selection of the stone and ultimately executed the installation of this very unique wall system with our in-house masons.

Exterior scope included full rebuilding of the Roxbury pudding stones, preservation of brownstone and sandstone decorative elements and the full restoration of the lancet and tracery stained glass windows on the east and south elevations, which were reset with an iso-thermal protective glazing system. Interior scope required extensive shoring, scaffolding and the removal of the pipe organ to facilitate access to impacted areas, included plaster repairs and replication of historical decorative paint scheme. The organ was refurbished while in storage and reinstalled upon project completion.

All work was managed around ongoing church operations, with activities including a daily women’s lunch program, daycare, weddings and regular services.

One of the property’s original granite retaining walls started showing its age with loss of structural integrity, calling for the complete removal, structural reinforcement and replacement of the historic stones. Consigli’s Special Projects Group was called on to oversee the painstaking restoration, which was completed entirely with in-house self-perform crews managing the stone removal and replacement, excavation, concrete, drainage, hardscaping and landscaping.

Using a historic photograph as a blueprint, our teams began by removing the stones block-by-block to be numbered and stored. Simultaneously, the adjacent museum was underpinned and excavation occurred behind the existing stone wall. A modern, concrete retaining wall was poured and the historic stones were put back in place, one-by-one, in the same pattern as the original historic wall construction.

The Parish’s selected summer 2017 scope includes cutting and repointing of the historic masonry; removal and replication of wood entry doors and hardware; and the recreation and fabrication of two exterior light sconces at the building’s vestibule. Consigli’s in-house self-perform team is completing the historic stone restoration, which requires the use of hand tools to ensure historic accuracy and proper integration into the façade. The original mortar mix is being replicated by our masons and then hand-tooled onto the building’s architectural precast and ashlar granite façade. All work is being managed around ongoing Parish services, requiring communication of upcoming events, construction activities and work zones.

Our skilled masons’ attention to detail ensured the new concrete paver bands, steps, structural walls, marble edging and pavers matched the historic colors and finishes, just as when the Casino was first built. In addition, new architectural precast balustrade rail systems were installed and exposed granite, footings and utilities were removed, cleaned and reset in their original locations.

With deterioration caused by long-term exposure to the elements, the West Wall and Southwest Tower were in need of restoration and repair to maintain the integrity of historic façade. Scope of work included extensive masonry repair, restoration of the old-growth White Pine louvers in the Southwest Tower and replacing the existing belfry roof with a new copper roof. This project also facilitated the effective re-installation of the restored Christ in Majesty stained glass window, which required the replacement of all window frames.

All work was managed around the continually operating Church within an active urban environment. Mitigation methods included custom signage and scrim, overhead protection, careful sequencing around Church activities and a traffic management plan coordinated with the City of Boston.
