Team members recently visited the Duke University to view progress on Environment Hall: Nicholas School of the Environment, currently under construction. Environment Hall is moving toward its scheduled completion in March of 2014. The concrete and steel building structure is now complete, with the exception of the covered walkway connection to the adjacent LSRC building. The unitized curtainwall has been installed throughout the exterior, and the building envelope is nearing full enclosure. Interior framing and MEP installation are well underway, with painting and interior finishes next in line.

Located along Boston’s famed Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Klarman Building responds to the presence of this green space to create a state-of-the-art center for inpatient care and healing. In addition to extending aspects of nature into the building through orienting views and finishes, the Sky Garden allows patients, family and staff to find healing in the landscape.
Happy World Landscape Month!
