Tishman Chosen for Northeastern Project

Boston – Northeastern University has selected Tishman Construction Corporation of Massachusetts to complete exterior restorations to Hurtig Hall.
Hurtig Hall has served as the home to Northeastern’s chemistry and chemical biology department. The five-story, 80,000sf building located on the east campus houses several of the department’s instructional labs for students in addition to faculty research labs. Research focuses on the interface between chemistry and biology including the study of DNA.
The building is scheduled to receive a new sustainable “Cool” roof. Cool roofs increase energy savings by reflecting and emitting the sun’s heat back to the sky instead of transferring it to the building below.
In addition to replacing the roof Tishman will complete masonry repairs to the façade including adding limestone accents below the cornice and at the building corners.
Construction will be phased to allow the facility to remain in operation during the construction schedule .
