Manchester, Mass – Windover Construction recently announced that it received the Building Project of the Year Award from the New England Chapter of the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA). The award was presented in the New Construction category for the firm’s distinctive work on Warren House, a new dormitory completed for the Cambridge School of Weston. The project was a collaboration with the design team at Eck | MacNeely Architects inc.
Warren House is an 11,000 SF dormitory, including 24 student beds and three faculty apartments. In addition to the residential rooms and apartments, the building has a large common space with adjacent kitchenettes, a computer and group study room, summer storage space for students and faculty, outdoor community space and a large kitchen classroom.
