Helping to create a facility that will teach some of the world's most capable minds was very special to our team. The Albert Sherman Center of Umass Lowell used quartered, AA grade, FSC Controlled Wood Hard Maple throughout the facility. This choice combined with the ample natural lighting and white complimenting surfaces make the space feel light and clean.
Katherine Craven of the Umass Building Authority said this was, "the largest publicly funded construction project in Massachusetts history." Designed by ARC, the $400 million Albert Sherman Center is a 512,000-square-foot facility for biomedical research and education was completed in January 2013. A certified LEED Gold facility, the Sherman Center expands and unifies the UMass Medical School’s Worcester campus, doubles its research capacity and supports the school’s new learner-centered curriculum. The project was built on-time and under budget, a tribute to the collaborative efforts of the entire design, engineering and construction team (arcusa.com.)
