The resulting Master Plan, which has been executed over multiple new building and renovation projects, was focused on providing welcoming social spaces and an intimate neighborhood feel within the campus. The site design was created around a triangular village green with three main thoroughfares bordered around it. Three major buildings, along with fifteen residences, anchor the village green, creating an intimate neighborhood environment within the campus: the new Village Center, the new Recreation Center and the historically significant Malcolm Hall—now the newly renovated Business Center at the Spruces.

The existing institutional-like dormitories were replaced in several phases by smaller dormitories with a comforting environment. Each of the 12 houses, approximately 3,500 sq. ft. each, houses two separate living units, each containing living and dining rooms, multi-use, nurse and bathrooms and four private bedrooms. The Master Plan expanded programs specifically designed for autistic students, such as the mock retail store, built to aid in social integration practices.

The Swift Factory Complex was transformed into a multi-purpose community hub and entrepreneurial hotspot for one of Connecticut’s lowest-income neighborhoods, aiming to improve health and create jobs for residents. The established program is centered around three core elements: Made at Swift, Healthy Swift and Green Swift, and includes urban farming and growing, food manufacturing and distribution, a health clinic, classrooms and office and cultural spaces—all with the goal of providing opportunities for job training and creation, entrepreneurial activity and economic growth.

To achieve the Swift Factory Complex’s diverse programming, Consigli renovated two residential homes located on the lot, Grey House and White House, and engaged in a comprehensive building investigation period followed by abatement of the factory buildings. The two-story, wood-framed factory buildings were completely reconfigured on the interior, including new framing, finishes and M/E/Ps, along with the installation of elevators and new windows. With the goal of supporting sustainable living, green design and building practices were implemented throughout.

This project includes restoration of the existing dilapidated memorial fountain, construction of a new memorial wall that will be engraved with names of Metropolitan Police Department officers who have died in the line of duty, and beautification of the site through new plantings and landscaping. The existing condition of the fountain included intensely colored aggregates and advanced decorative inlay. Horizontal boring was required under the historic fountain in order to install new mechanical systems.

The project is located on a very tight site with the new wall being constructed in close proximity to the building areaway, which requires careful coordination. The team also discovered a number of unforeseen existing conditions, such as significant debris from previous construction projects, large mature tree root systems, and existing unidentified plumbing and conduits. Consigli tested the existing soil to ensure the construction debris would not prevent compaction and brought in new, clean soil, to amend the existing as needed. The team coordinated with the DC Forester, the Landscape Architect, and our arborists to adjust field installations to avoid the largest tree roots, and to airspade/expose and trim roots as needed. Finally, the team worked with the building owners to identify and remove lines that had previously been abandoned in place and to repair and protect previously unknown/undetected lines.

Due to the building being at maximum capacity, as well as located in a very tight location, safety and site logistics were a critical concern. A six-phased project plan was developed to accommodate residents at the 24-hour, fully operational Center.

The Center also underwent renovations and repairs to the exterior of the building, specifically a full roof replacement, as well as upgrades to the front façade.
