PROJECT DETAILS

The performing arts complex is home to the Williams College theatre and dance programs, and serves as a first-class venue for the annual “Williamstown Summer Theatre Festival”.

Enabling infrastructure projects included the construction of a 250 car parking garage, a new central chiller plant and extensive utility relocations.

Team-oriented value management reviews conducted during each design phase identified lower-cost design alternatives that maintained both quality and the schedule.

The success of this project led to continued work at Williams College, including Hollander and Schapiro Halls and the renovations of Morgan Hall.
