Quincy, MA – Lee Kennedy Co. has won the construction contract for the renovation of Fox Dining Hall at UMass Lowell. The $7 million renovation is the latest addition to an academic portfolio that includes work for schools such as Boston College, Berklee School of Music and Salem State University.
Lee Kennedy Co.’s team will transform the existing Fox Hall into a state-of-the-art facility serving 1,800 students with a full commercial kitchen, six cooking and serving stations and seating for 700 over 23,000 square feet. The team will also install a freight elevator and construct new restrooms.
This exciting project is a natural fit for Lee Kennedy Company, with the team’s long history of success working within operating facilities on active school campuses. The team will complete construction in phases, working only during school vacation breaks on an aggressive schedule to have the space open for use by the fall of 2012.
“We are eager to partner with the UMass Building Authority again on such an exciting project. Our team thrives in the college environment and the Fox Dining Hall is another great opportunity for Lee Kennedy Co.,” said Robert O’Leary, Lee Kennedy Co.’s Vice President – Academic.
