The Grandstands at Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s Clean Harbors Stadium were completed by Civitects in 2010
Fall River YMCA
Fall River YMCA Comprehensive Renovation
Fall River, MA
The goal of this project was a comprehensive renovation to the YMCA’s existing facilities in Fall River. The original building was built in various phases between 1898 and 1964. For this reason special attention had to be given to resolving issues related to varying floor and ceiling heights between the different structures, while also providing a new addition to the northeast corner of the building, including an elevator and connection to the existing natatorium. Two supplementary full-height stair cases were also required within the main building in order to provide proper egress.
UMD Textile Building Bioengineering Teaching Laboratory

This project was part of a multi-phased renovation to the existing lab spaces in Umass’ Textile Building. This phase of the project included a pair of teaching labs (for both “wet” and “dry” experiments) and a portion of the surrounding support spaces, for both current and future use. Due to the phased nature of the project careful consideration had to be given when planning the spaces in order to avoid redundant or unnecessary work in future phases. Additionally the support spaces were planned in order to allow use by both the current and future labs planned for the space.
UMD Textile Computational Laboratory

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Dartmouth, MA
Civitects was retained by the University to transform existing office spaces into a new Computational Science Lab and conference room on the first floor of the Textile Building. By eliminating the existing office spaces, Civitects was able to develop an open plan for the lab and incorporate new computer workstations and a lounge area. Work included the construction of new partitions, ceiling and floor finishes, an overhead projector, and tackable wall surfaces in the corridor immediately outside the space. Improved security measures were considered and new doors were equipped with access control. Existing electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems were also modified for the new lab.
MCC Center for Sustainability
Center for Sustainability
Massasoit Community College
Civitects was asked by Massasoit Community College to evaluate the existing conditions and life safety concerns of a former movie theater and develop schematic designs to transform this building into a Center for Sustainability. The program of the space is geared toward educating students about the importance of green technology and design. The design includes two large classrooms, one interactive classroom, faculty offices, a reception area, toilet rooms, and associated storage space.
