	North Brookfield Town Hall Listed in a National Register of Historic Places, this Civil War era wood structure is immeasurably significant to the Town’s history and community. Due to serious structural deterioration, the building was declared unsafe for occupancy and town offices were relocated off-site into temporary trailers. As emergency structural repairs were being addressed separately, a study was commissioned to identify other deficiencies. An evaluation of existing building conditions was conducted, a space program was developed, and three renovation schemes were proposed. The selected renovation plan includes a small addition at the rear of the building.
	Harvard Senior Housing With a shortage of affordable housing, the Harvard Housing Authority (HHA) envisioned developing a town-owned parcel near the center of town for senior living. This study explored a full range of configurations for 12 one bedroom units on a 1.3 acre sloping lot, from six duplexes to a single two story building. In the end, HHA opted for two 1½ story structures that took advantage of the existing topography. Each small apartment building, with its common entry and corridors, would provide the tenants with a sense of community and safety.
	Fitchburg City Hall With a failing cooling tower and an antiquated handicapped lift, City Hall needed, at a minimum, to address the issues of accessibility and air conditioning. Recognizing that these were not the only problems the building had, the City commissioned a study to explore long range solutions. Suffering from a minimal budget for capital expenditures, the building had fallen into considerable disrepair. In addition, the building itself, with its additions and multiple floor levels, was inherently difficult to efficiently plan and utilize. The facility, including its associated 2–story parking structure, was fully assessed and a number of alternative master plans were developed. The building committee preferred the proposal to construct a new City Hall and parking structure on the existing site. Concerned that the Main Street façade has sentimental value for the public, the Mayor requested that the front of the existing building be preserved.
	Sparrell and Osborne Buildings Through a town vote, the architecturally distinctive Sparrell School was overwhelmingly identified as an important building to preserve and re-use. At the same time, the town offices were utilizing the old Osborne School, an outdated utilitarian structure that had never been properly converted to office use. The study examined the feasibility of renovating the Sparrell School building to house the town offices and the School Department’s administrative offices. As an alternative, the unused third floor of the Osborne building was planned for the School Department offices.
Briggs Elementary School As enrollment steadily grew through the years, the Briggs Elementary School in Ashburnham tried to keep up, with an addition in the 1980’s and modular classrooms that have become permanent. Additional classrooms and better and larger support facilities are still required. Although well maintained, the building’s major components were starting to reach the end of their life spans. The study explored the feasibility of renovating and adding on to the existing single story building. The resulting plan suffered from inefficiencies of a sprawling configuration. The recommended solution was a new multi-story structure. This would allow the school to continue operating
