Gallagher Provides Services for Harvard Hall – William Rawn Architect

Cambridge, MA– TG Gallagher, a leading provider of mechanical construction and maintenance services,has begun work on Harvard Business School’s new Tata Hall. Continuing its 70-year relationship with the University and construction manager BOND, TG Gallagher will install a new HVAC system in the 160,000sf building, which will complete the school’s executive education quad.
When completed later this year, the seven-story Tata Hall will provide additional housing for Harvard Business School’s growing executive education program. The program prepares established and emerging executives from around the world for leadership excellence through developmental training. Using a design-assist procurement strategy, the contractor’s team will be able to address constructability concerns early in the project’s design phase, preventing costly and time-intensive delays during construction.
Working closely with architect William Rawn Associates, mechanical engineer AKF, and BOND, TG Gallagher will assist with mechanical design and will install a complete HVAC system – including four pipe fan coil units in the 179 bedrooms with associated living group lounges – to maximize individual comfort and temperature regulation. The company will also install a displacement air system in the two 100-seat classrooms to ensure the large spaces are cooled effectively, and a high-efficiency gas boiler heating plant to provide hot water to the building. A membrane waterproofing system, triple-glazed windows, and an eco-friendly and sustainable green roof will contribute to the building’s expected LEED Gold certification.
