renewed life for former convent
In the spring of 2021, ZVI proudly partnered with Evergreen Day School, Sancta Maria Nursing Facility, Davis Square Architects, and BLW Engineers for this full gut renovation of a 9,800 SF former convent into a day school serving students from 18 months to 5 years of age.
The project’s scope included new mechanical and fire protection systems as well as all new finishes. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic such as supply chain issues, ZVI completed this project on time.
Brandeis University - lown elevator addition
During the fall of 2023, ZVI achieved a notable milestone by successfully installing a 4-stop, 3500lb elevator. This elevator now offers accessibility to all levels of an office/ classroom building that dates back to the 1960s on the campus of Brandeis University. The elevator is situated within a steel-framed extension, seamlessly connecting to the main hallway on each floor. Additionally, single-occupant accessible restrooms have been included on the 1st and 3rd floors of the extension. To enhance access to the building’s first floor, a brand new accessible exterior ramp and entry plaza were constructed.
