Boston, MA Kripper Studio has been engaged by Boston University on three design improvement projects across different departments on the Charles River Campus location. The projects range from converting the use of spaces to upgrading technology to re-configuring interiors and include offices, a screening room and student residences. The three initial projects are:
• 640 Commonwealth Ave. – Boston University’s College of Communication screening room: Located in a building constructed in 1912, the main screening room was last renovated in 1988. The screening room’s capabilities will be enhanced, the overall comfort and aesthetics improved and ADA requirements met. Scope of work includes all ceiling tiles, sub-structure, carpeting, wall finishes, lighting, and seating to be removed and replaced with new elements. The existing podium and staging will be removed and replaced with a new movable podium for increased programming flexibility when using the room. Similarly, new lighting throughout will enable a more flexible approach based on programming. Sustainably, all existing AV and sound equipment to be preserved and protected. All existing doors to remain and be primed and painted. Start date on construction will soon be determined.
