Scope Of Work
2007 Preservation Award, Massachusetts Historical Commission
I frequently advise my clients that you cannot optimize cost, quality and schedule all at once. After this project, however, I need to rethink my position since Marc Truant & Associates performed so well on all three. MTA rose to the many challenges of this interesting project and delivered a quality job under very tight time, site and budgetary constraints.
Don Mills, Architect
A long-standing relationship with Park Street Church positioned Marc Truant & Associates, Inc. to provide preconstruction services, and then to complete the renovation and modernization of a 1913 historic brick building on Beacon Hill.
The completed Park Street School—25,000 square feet—contains twelve classrooms, a multipurpose room/ gymnasium with climbing wall, a science laboratory, a library with ornamental plaster crown molding and original woodwork, and art and music rooms. Following LEED guidelines, several high-efficiency mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were installed. Careful preservation work took place around historic elements, such as fireplaces, bay windows and original millwork found in many of the classrooms.
