Boston, MA – The Boston Chapter of the International Facilities Management Association (IFMA) has recognized Tufts University School of Dental Medicine’s Vertical Expansion, which was designed by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge, at IFMA Awards of Excellence 2010.
The ARC-designed project won the “Best Practice Awards: Medium Project,” given annually by IFMA to projects ranging between 50,000 and 150,000sf. This award is presented to the individual or team whose facility management program, project, system, innovation, or idea has had a substantial and positive effect on the success of their organization.
The building, located at One Kneeland Street in Boston’s Chinatown, officially opened late last year after an ambitious 22-month vertical expansion development in one of Boston’s most densely-populated neighborhoods. The five-story, 95,000sf vertical addition was added on top of the existing 10-story Tufts University School of Dental Medicine building.
The building also recently received LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
