Seekonk Senior Center

A new senior center was decades in the making for the Town of Seekonk. The programs that supported local seniors had more than outgrown their small office space in a local school building. The new Senior Center is an excellent example of our reputation for getting projects built. After a number of attempts by the Town to bring this project to fruition, we worked with the Town to reconcile scope with cost constraints, and we included alternates in our bid package to ensure the project was within budget. The project renovated a vacant pool store attached to office space that could be used as a “phase 2” renovation when funding became available. Renovations included classrooms, a lounge, office space, a kitchen used for the Food Pantry and a cooking demo space, and an open multi-purpose space with the ability to break down into small rooms for multiple functions. Our team held numerous presentations throughout design in an open-forum setting, televised to the community. This interactive presentation allowed questions to be answered in real-time and helped gain critical support from user groups. Even with several unforeseen existing conditions, the project came in on time and on budget.
