Veterans Memorial Athletic Complex Client City of Waltham Waltham, MA

When the former Army Corps of Engineer site in Waltham was surplused by the United States government, the property was subdivided amongst three entities. Our team collaborated with the City to prepare a master plan for the site, a subdivision plan, as well as site plans and construction documents for two of the property owners, the Gann Academy and the City of Waltham.

The City’s property, Veterans Memorial Fields, encompasses approximately half of the former ACOE site (25 acres). Through meetings with various public constituent groups and a public design process, a program for four infilled synthetic turf multi- purpose fields and two high-end, sand based, natural grass softball fields was set.

Other site improvements include parking for approximately 265 vehicles, fencing, site walks, landscaping, and signage improvements were also designed.

Today the site is an active recreational resource for locals, including adult softball leagues, Waltham Pop Warner Football, as well as the facility of choice for fund raising events by charitable organizations in the area. Manning Bowl Client Lynn, MA City of Lynn Following the demolition of their old and unsuitable WPA stadium, our Sport Construction Cost Group collaborated with the City to provide design, bidding, and construction $ 4M administration services for the creation of a brand new track and field stadium.

Soil samples proved much of the demolished site to be contaminated, so we worked closely with the geotechnical engineer to determine how to best deal with the existing unsuitable soils while keeping the project within the City’s budget. The final design included the track and synthetic turf field, grandstand seating for 4,000 spectators, support buildings for ofces, locker rooms, restrooms and a filming platform, and expanded parking areas.

We worked with the City and the architect to determine how best to phase the project so that all elements could fit within the City’s long term budget. It was determined that in Phase I of the project the track and field would be built, with the associated track throwing and jumping events, site entrance, and athletic field lighting to follow. Phase II included the grandstands, associated buildings, and parking areas. The completed stadium supports the City of Lynn’s high school athletic programs as well as numerous town run programs for football and track.
