BOWDOIN COMPLETES REHABILITATION OF 48 WOERD AVENUE PROGRESS/COMPLETION SLIDESHOW Bowdoin Construction recently completed the conversion of the former Parker-Hannifin manufacturing building located at 48 Woerd Avenue in Waltham, MA into 127,000 square feet of modern office space.  Bowdoin served as construction manager for the project and worked together with the design team of Bergmeyer Associates and Edwards & Kelcey.  The complex project entailed a comprehensive building rehabilitation as well as a 70,000 s.f. fit-out for Cisco Systems and a 57,000 s.f. fit-out for Imagitas. The original building was constructed in 1912 and over the years there were a number of additions.  Due to the uncertain conditions of this sorely neglected structure, Bowdoin made sure to pay special attention to site safety and preventative maintenance of potential hazards.  Prior to the commencement of demolition, Bowdoin staff performed and intensive investigation of existing conditions and spent two weeks erecting construction fencing and wood barricades.  As a safeguard to ensure that no potential hazards were overlooked, Bowdoin participated in the voluntary OSHA inspection program. Following these safety precautions, Bowdoin went to work renovating the base building shell and core, and then fit-out all corporate interiors for both tenants. The exterior work included extensive demolition, new slabs, floor leveling, new building skin, aluminum windows and curtain wall, significant areas of new metal roof decking, an entirely new rubber membrane roof, extensive skylights, toilet room cores, and all new MEP/FP systems.  The tenant work consisted of new office space including millwork, drywall, acoustical partial ceilings, flooring, paint and an extensive fixture package.  Additional work included landscaping, paving, and site lighting.  All construction was completed within an aggressive nine-month schedule.   48 WOERD AVENUE, WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS CLICK ON PHOTO TO VIEW FULL IMAGE                                  Bowdoin Construction Corp. 220-1 Reservoir Street Needham Heights, MA  02494 Phone: 781-444-6302  Fax: 781-444-4970 Home I Services I Experience I Awards I News I Employment I Subcontractor I Internal Use I Client Area I Contact Us
