Feature of the Month: DBVW and Consigli converting 100,000 s/f mill into Lowell Community Health Center
Durkee, Brown, Viveiros & Werenfels (DBVW) Architects and Consigli Construction Co. are converting 100,000 s/f of the historic Hamilton Mill, into the Lowell Community Health Center.
The facility, designed DBVW, will support programs designed to enhance the health of the culturally diverse Greater Lowell community and empower individuals to maximize their overall well-being. Programs include family practice, adult primary care, lab/same day care and others that you might typically expect to find in a health center along with innovative programs for youth development and overall health promotion.
Consigli is serving as the construction manager. Other members of the project team include: RDK Engineers, Yoder + Tidwell, Ltd., and Joncas Associates.
Interior and exterior renovations are being designed to conform with the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. DBVW is also providing wayfinding and signage design for the health center.
The building will be occupied in December of this year.
