hall allows us to
better compete for students throughout the country
and around the world,” said Walter Caffey, Suffolk
University’s Dean of Enrollment.
As the
Construction Manager, Richard White Sons was
challenged with meeting a fast track construction
schedule in time for students to move in for the
Fall 2003 semester. The site whose footprint
occupies just 8,700 square feet was in a severely
restricted urban area with no lay-down area.
Overcoming tough winter conditions and utilizing
multiple crews working 7 days per week ensured that the building was
completed on time.
