RP Masiello begins construction of new buildings for Spectrum Health

Westborough, MA Construction is underway for two new buildings on the Spectrum Health Services campus. RP Masiello is the design-build construction manager for the project which includes a new corporate headquarters for Spectrum and an Intake Center for people seeking treatment.

“We are pleased to begin this relationship with Spectrum Health, creating new facilities that will help them expanded their important mission,” said David Masiello, president of RP Masiello.

The new three-story headquarters building will include executive and administrative offices, IT service space, and a multi-purpose training center. It is designed to accommodate Spectrum’s current daily operations while also creating additional flexible space for future expansion of the non-profit organization that has been a leader in substance use and mental health treatment programs since 1969.

The new Intake Center will be a two-story steel frame building. The design utilizes the topography of the site so that each level will have direct exterior access. The first floor will host a 24-7 urgent clinic to evaluate people in crisis and admit them to the appropriate treatment program. The second floor will host a day-program, with classrooms, counselling spaces, offices, and a cafeteria.

With site work and steel erection now underway, both new buildings for Spectrum are expected to be completed in 2024. 

In addition to the Spectrum project, RP Masiello is now managing the design-build program for two buildings spanning 1 million s/f of warehouse and manufacturing space for Unified2 Global Packaging in Sutton, Mass. and a new GMP manufacturing facility for EyePoint Pharmaceuticals in Northbridge, Mass.

Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.
