Bigelow and Fleming complete 8,000 s/f MetroWest Medical project: $1.9 million Center for Behavorial Medicine in Framingham

Bigelow and Fleming, LLC completed a 8,000 s/f renovation at the MetroWest Medical Center. This $1.9 million project involved a major overhaul of a previously vacant wing at the medical center.
