Tishman Restores New England Conservatory Buildings
New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall at 290 Huntington Ave., BostonTishman Construction Corp. of New England has restored four buildings at Boston's New England Conservatory campus, including Jordan Hall.
Major renovations were completed at Jordan Hall, a 1,013-seat hall at 290 Huntington Ave., including replacing marble columns and terra cotta trim. Wooden windows and the roof were also replaced, according to a statement.
The building at 295 Huntington Ave., which is on the National Register of Historic Places, had its roof replaced. Tishman also added snow rails and new windows.
Tishman restored the original masonry and replaced wooden windows with energy-efficient, insulated aluminum windows at 241 St. Botolph St. The building is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building at 33 Gainsborough St. also underwent exterior renovations, including repairing original brick and stucco fa?ade.
"We chose Tishman because of their depth of experience in the restoration of historic performance spaces, and our decision paid off," said Tony Woodcock, president of Boston Conservatory. "We are thrilled with the results of this project. While there has been no change to the design of the buildings - the key attribute of a successful historic restoration - they have been refreshed and improved."
Wessling Architects of Quincy served as architect of the project, which began in April 2009.
