Governor Deval Patrick visits BOND's North Bennet Street School renovation/relocation project

On July 25 governor Deval Patrick visited North Bennet St. School, currently undergoing a massive relocation/renovation led by BOND Construction. Once completed, the project will improve more than 60,000 s/f of existing space, including interior renovations and base building systems replacement. A limited exterior restoration will be carried out in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Rehabilitation. The finished facility will include classroom space, craft and carpentry workshops, administrative offices and ground floor public and gallery spaces. "This is a really exciting project. It's a community institution, which you probably know better than I do," said governor Patrick. Shown (from left) are: Matthew Malone, Mass.
