Easton, MA – After successfully completing Stonehill College’s new science building – and bringing the project in under budget – The S/L/A/M Collaborative was selected to design a residential life building that would support the college’s increased enrollment and serve as a model for future residence hall building plans.
Key priorities included the need to create a building that will last at least 75 years, support the residential life goal of fostering student development, include numerous ‘green’ initiatives, and do so in the most economical manner possible. Configured for maximum efficiency, the 74,339gsf building will house 250 seniors and juniors in suite-style apartments.
The project, which was designed and documented using BIM technology, will open this fall and is on target to finish under budget and ahead of schedule.
Builder for the project is Walsh Brothers of Boston.
Joining SLAM on the project team are consultants Civil Engineer – Nitsch Engineering, Boston; Structural and Geotechnical Engineer – Weidlinger Associates, Inc., Cambridge; Acoustic Consultant – Acentech, Cambridge; Cost Estimator – D.J. Jones International, Inc., Woburn; Code Consultant – RW Sullivan, Boston and MEP Engineer – RFS Engineering, Laconia, NH.
