Chestnut Hill, MA – Bald Hill Builders (BHB) announced it is in the final stretch of transforming Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill, a renovation set to conclude in September.
The project involves renovating a 100-year-old residence and converting it into modern offices and classrooms while preserving its historical essence. Beaver Country Day School’s philosophy emphasizes individual success in a collaborative environment, making this renovation a part of its mission to provide an inspiring and versatile learning space.
The scope of the work includes installing a new sprinkler and fire alarm system to ensure the building meets current safety standards. The project also involves upgrading the water and sewer utilities to support the increased demands of the newly proposed spaces. New lighting will be installed throughout the building to enhance the learning environment, and the kitchen is being remodeled to accommodate the needs of the school’s staff and students.
Additionally, BHB is creating an ADA-compliant bathroom and making the first floor fully accessible. The renovation also includes adding a new deck, providing an outdoor space for students and staff to enjoy.
This project’s “Summer Slammer” nature means a tight timeline. BHB must complete the renovation by the start of the fall semester, leaving no room for delays. This has required the team to be highly proactive, providing prompt solutions whenever existing conditions challenge the scheduled construction. By working closely with Studio NDP, the project’s architect, and DBI Project, the owner’s representative, BHB has maintained a strong focus on meeting deadlines while delivering a space that reflects the school’s vision.
As the project nears completion, representatives of BHB say they are proud to contribute to Beaver Country Day School’s mission of creating an environment where students can thrive, collaborate, and pursue their passions in a space designed with their needs in mind.
