Fairbank Community Center
Sudbury, MA
An existing conditions assessment was performed to establish the building’s current condition including required repairs and upgrades to the envelope, structure, interiors, mechanical, plumbing including septic system, electrical, and life safety systems. Assessment included the site, parking, outdoor play venues, and site amenities. The evaluation also included estimated costs for required repairs and upgrades.
The facility was reviewed for compliance with the requirements of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board, American with Disabilities Act (ADA), current Massachusetts State Building Codes (8th edition), State Plumbing, Fire, and Electrical Codes. Through collecting existing building documentation available from the Town, existing condition drawings required to prepare the Master Plan could be developed. The Permanent Building Committee, and representatives of the Fairbank Community Center Study Task Force scheduled a preliminary review of these findings.
Analysis concluded that a long term solution would retain Atkinson Pool, and add an addition to the natatorium to replace the recreational portion of the building. BH+A is currently in CA for the renovation/addition.
