Other Capital Projects

This project will provide a second data center for the Commonwealth's Information Technology Division to operate as an active back-up to the Mass. Information Technology Center (MITC) in Chelsea. The facility will be at a higher level of reliability than the existing data facilities at MITC, provide a critical backup data center facility for the Commonwealth, and be a 'show case' green data center.

The overall project includes the removal and replacement of the existing flat seamed, sloped copper roofing system on the Brigham Annex. The Brigham Annex roof work also involved the removal and replacement of areas of low sloped membrane roofing located around mechanical equipment and skylights, the upgrading of the State House roof drainage system, minor masonry repair, lightning protection, and the replacement and repair of the skylights. Additional areas of roof replacement were the low sloped membrane terraces on the East and West Wings and porticos on the Bullfinch Building and Brigham Annex. The metal windows on the 5 ^th floor of the East and West Wings were also replaced. Included in the State House roof project was the installation of state of the art photovoltaic glass in the Great Hall and selected skylights.  The most severely damaged ceilings and wall areas were repaired throughout State House office and historical spaces, along with the upcoming repairs to the cupola above the gold dome
