We are pleased to announce that we have been selected by Harvard University for the Memorial Church. The opportunity to work on this project presents the opportunity to reinforce the character and heritage of the Church. Harvard’s Memorial Church is one of the most prominent buildings on the Harvard University campus as it is positioned in Harvard Yard. The Church is used primarily for worship services, but also frequently opens its doors to a number of programs from concerts to outreach programming. We are excited to continue working on the Harvard University campus and for the opportunity to transform a historic and significant space through a sensitive and innovative approach.
"Constructing a sustainable living environment for our veterans is not only important for their overall health and well-being but is a gift to our planet. The Community Living Center uses energy-efficient technologies and will nurture the physical, mental, and emotional health of our veterans while dignifying their long-term care needs with a home that honors their sacrifice.”-- Secretary Jon Santiago
The combination of geothermal heating and cooling, a heat recovery system, a high performance building envelope, a 0.7-megawatt rooftop solar array and natural ventilation in all resident spaces yields a building that uses 71% less energy than allowed by code—and eliminates the use of fossil fuels during typical operation.
