We're proud to share that Brown University's Lindemann Performing Arts Center has received a 2026 iF Gold Design Award—one of the most prestigious honors in global design. Selected from more than 10,000 submissions across 68 countries, The Lindemann was one of just 75 projects worldwide to earn a Gold Trophy. Designed by REX to push the boundaries of performance, the 101,000-square-foot facility features a revolutionary Main Performance Hall that can transform into five distinct stage-audience configurations through an intricate system of suspended seating gantries, motorized lifts, telescoping risers, and acoustic panels. The result is one of the world's most flexible and technologically advanced performance venues, supporting everything from orchestral concerts to experimental media productions. #ShawmutBuilt

We're proud to be underway on an incredibly meaningful adaptive reuse project—the new home of @cmomNYC. The team is transforming a century-old church overlooking Central Park into a seven-story, interactive learning lab for the children and families of New York City. The project will restore and revitalize the building, honoring its historic form while adding contemporary elements to improve functionality, circulation, and accessibility. Designed by FXCollaborative with exhibits by THG Creative, the space will feature hands-on experiences, immersive exhibits, a rooftop terrace with Central Park views, a café, performance space, and museum store. When completed in 2028, it will not only double the museum’s physical capacity but also enable the museum to expand its age range to birth to 10 years old. #ShawmutBuilt shawmut.com/news/shawmut-und…

How do you build a new mass timber building on top of an existing structure? In this video, operations project executive Josh Walker walks through the construction sequence behind @AmherstCollege's new Student Center & Dining Commons—from selectively deconstructing the former Merrill Science Building and preserving its concrete foundation to executing a precise, floor-by-floor mass timber installation above. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the coordination, sequencing, and technical expertise required to deliver one of the country’s most unique mass timber and adaptive reuse projects—while significantly reducing embodied carbon through material reuse and low-carbon construction. #ShawmutBuilt

This week, we joined project partners, Rhode Island Governor @DanMcKeeRI, @PVDMayor Brett P. Smiley, civic leaders, and community members to celebrate the ribbon cutting of the 195 District Park Pavilion. Located at the center of the @195District, the new 3,500-square-foot pavilion creates a year-round destination for community gathering, dining, and programming along the waterfront. The project also included key infrastructure upgrades, including WiFi, grading and drainage improvements, and enhanced electrical systems. As Shawmut’s Head of Rhode Island, Chris Maury, shared during the event, “projects like this reflect what we care about most: building places that matter to the communities we’re part of.” The Pavilion represents the latest in a series of projects we’ve delivered in the district, including Point 225, Aloft Providence Downtown, and Emblem 125.

A piece of Harvard Square will become part of the future home of the @americanrep, with an original brick from the Square incorporated into the Goel Center for Creativity & Performance—linking both the theater’s legacy and the project’s broader regenerative design approach. Reclaimed materials are central to that vision. Approximately 190 tons of brick have been salvaged and reintegrated into the building. It’s one example of how the Goel Center is designed to go beyond minimizing impact—to actively give back to its environment, community, and occupants over its lifespan.

Members of our project team attended the @BSAAIA's annual Design Awards, where the preservation and restoration of The First Church of Christ, Scientist was recognized with an Honor Award and the William D. Smith Memorial Commendation. In partnership with Finegold Alexander Architects and Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, this eight-year, multi-phase effort restored two historic Boston landmarks while keeping the building fully operational: The Mother Church Original (TMCO) edifice (1894) and The Mother Church Extension (TMCX) edifice (1906). The team revitalized centuries-old façades and Guastavino tile domes, rebuilt a deteriorated cupola using precision digital modeling, and integrated modern life safety, accessibility, and infrastructure upgrades—all without compromising the church’s historic character. #ShawmutBuilt
