Burlington, MA Fulcrum has completed the collaboration with Lahey Hospital & Medical Center and E4H Environments for Health Architecture on a transformative renovation project for the new UMass Chan-Lahey Regional Medical School Campus. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing medical education through state-of-the-art learning environments.
The primary objective of the UMass Chan-Lahey Regional Medical School Campus renovation project was to bolster the growth of the medical education program by revitalizing the first floor of 29 Mall Rd. Encompassing 9,000 s/f, the ambitious undertaking introduced a range of essential facilities, including small and large classrooms, faculty offices, student/staff lounges, and dedicated OSCE space (Objective Structured Clinical Exam). One main goal of the project was to emulate the settings of a hospital environment to create realistic learning settings.
“We were honored to have collaborated with Lahey Hospital & Medical Center and E4H Environments for Health Architecture on the UMass Chan-Lahey Regional Medical School Campus renovation project,” said Daryl Luter, president at Fulcrum. “This project underscores our collective commitment to fostering innovation and excellence in medical education. Together, we created a dynamic learning environment that empowers the next generation of medical professionals.”
Renovations to the first floor of The Bernard and Sophia Gordon Education Center officially began with the demolition phase in November 2023. Leaders of Lahey Hospital & Medical Center and UMass Chan Medical School donned hard hats and safety goggles and picked up sledgehammers, physically breaking into existing walls and ceremoniously initiating the project. Certificate of Occupancy for the space was achieved in February 2024, marking the growth and advancement of medical education through modern facilities and amenities to students, faculty, and staff.
Fulcrum extended sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of this project, from the dedicated team to the valued partners and subcontractors. The Fulcrum team was led by senior project manager James Goulet, supported by assistant project manager Melissa Field and site superintendent Bob Levesque. The design team from E4H Architects was led by Juliet Montrone. Fulcrum was joined by a team of subcontractors including MEC Electrical Contractors, O’Connell Plumbing, Covenant Fire Protection, Team Mechanical, Chamberlain Cos., Paul White Flooring, IGS Glass, SMS Services, Optiline Enterprises, Noonan Brothers Painting and Kelly Brothers.
