How does a dental school with deferred maintenance and problematic pre-existing conditions get transformed into a state-of-the-art technology facility in under a year? The remarkable gut renovation of the now modern, high-end Advanced Technology Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Mt. Ida Campus can be attributed to Terva’s swift and collaborative handling of the process.
Gut to glory
From replacing the roof to upgrading the mechanical and electrical systems—to extensive envelope repairs including brick re-pointing and mortar wash, the complexity of the work was in familiar territory, but certainly not cookie-cutter. Today, the Center is fully revitalized with beautiful new office and conference spaces for the Mount Ida Campus to use for decades to come.
