Randolph, MA CTA Construction Managers topped off construction at the 31,000 s/f Randolph Intergenerational Community Center.

The town and CTA Construction broke ground on the $10.3 million community center last August. Once complete, residents of all ages will be able to access and utilize the 31,000 s/f facility. It will feature a variety of amenities, including a gymnasium, exercise and fitness rooms, indoor walking track, a greenhouse, meeting spaces, classrooms, a teaching kitchen, theatre and arts space, and outdoor amenities.

As part of the project, CTA Construction is partnering with the owner’s project manager, Daedalus Projects, Inc. and Bargmann Hendrie + Archetype, Inc. (bh+a), the architects on the project. The community center is expected to be completed during the fall of 2017. The new facility will serve various recreational programs of the town, including the senior center and youth center. The Recreation Department and Elder Services Department will be housed at the new building.

“CTA Construction is excited to partner with the Town of Randolph to create a great space that will positively impact the lives of the residents in Randolph,” said Steve Taylor, a project executive at CTA Construction. “Our firm is committed to building a community center that is accessible to the Town of Randolph’s youth and elderly to play, learn and grow.”
