Higher Education Projects - University of Massachusetts

This multi-use building will provide 173,000 gross square feet for instructional, departmental and civic programs. Currently, the university has a significant shortage of classroom space and a portion of existing space is in poor condition. The new building addresses this critical need for updated classroom and department space on the Amherst campus. The Program includes department space for Communication and Journalism, Linguistics, and the Film Studies program.

Part of an overall renewal program aimed at enhancing the science and engineering research environs and interdisciplinary collaboration amongst disciplines this building will provide UMA with 300,000 gsf of new state-of-the-art research space.

This project came about as a result of aging, undersized and outmoded research facilities at UMass Boston and the desire of the facility to enrich and invest in its research.

This project will both add a new entry space to the existing library, and provide a renovated and updated state-of-the-art collegiate library for UMass Dartmouth.

South Campus is the home of UMass Lowell's College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School of Education and the School of Health and Environment. As the first new academic building constructed from the ground up on south campus in over 30 years, the Health and Social Sciences Building will begin to address a pent up demand for an increase in modernized space by all the departments located on the South Campus.

The Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) constructed an $80 million Campus Center at the 175-acre Columbia Point Campus. The six-story, 331,000 SF facility provides a new "front door" to the campus, consolidating student services and activities, and offers new dining facilities and conference center space.
