LKCo Completes UMass Renovation – Designed by Bergmeyer

Lowell, MA – Lee Kennedy Co. (LKCo) has completed an extremely fast-paced renovation of the Fox Dining Hall at UMass Lowell.
To accommodate the $7 million, 19,000sf renovation over just 12 weeks, the team performed exploratory work and demolition over the holiday break of 2011 then managed new construction over the 2012 summer break. The new dining hall is a café style dining facility with seven “made to order” stations. Boston-based Bergmeyer Architects designed the renovated Fox Hall space.
LKCo.’s team demolished the existing dining hall and installed all new MEP systems, restrooms and finishes along with new millwork, flooring, painting and food service equipment. The team also installed a new service elevator and constructed a new storefront to the building. Mechanical upgrades included separation of the HVAC system between the new café and the adjoining dormitory tower.
