Boston – City Point Partners congratulated the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) on the recent topping off of its new Central Research and Materials Laboratory in Hopkinton.
Managed by City Point Partners, designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, and constructed by Barr & Barr, the 49,000sf building will replace MassDOT’s current laboratory at 400 D Street in South Boston and will accommodate the sampling and testing of materials used by MassDOT on its highway and bridge projects.
The new lab will have the necessary infrastructure to maintain the essential Federal Highway Association material requirements and accreditations, and provide state-of‐the‐art laboratory facilities and space to support all materials and construction quality assurance-related functions. The new building will be adjacent to the Westborough Service Plaza on I‐90 and will enclose a two‐story office space and floor heights of 16 feet, including a 14‐foot mechanical penthouse.
City Point Partners is providing owner’s project management services advising with respect to the design, scope of work, cost estimating, construction manager at risk and subcontractor selection, schedule overview, and performance monitoring.
