Improvements to Old Tower Hill Road

Pare completed design improvements to 0.42 miles of Old Tower Hill Road in South Kingstown for the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. Pare used “Complete Streets” design standards to make safety improvements, add buffered bike lanes, widen sidewalks for ADA compliance, and install landscaping enhancements to divide the center turn lane. The installation of 18 new curb bioretention planters, designed in accordance with the RIDOT Linear Stormwater Manual, were a significant component of the project. These will reduce pollution discharge to downstream waterways and resources by treating the water quality volume from the ‘first flush’ of roadway runoff. This $3.9M project -- which finished on budget and one month ahead of schedule -- was completed in September 2020. Read more here.

Moderna Clinical Development Manufacturing Facility

Pare was recognized with a Bronze Award for Outstanding Professional Design Excellence from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts (ACEC/MA) for the structural assessment and design of the Moderna Clinical Development Manufacturing Facility in Norwood, MA. For this $130M project, Pare performed extensive field inspections/assessments of a 200,000-SF mothballed Polaroid manufacturing plant to determine the existing building’s structural capacity and developed a 3D REVIT model in order to gut and retrofit the building. Pare then designed an independent structural system that extends through the building to new foundations. This system supports six Pare-designed rooftop platforms totaling 33,000 SF and supporting 26 air handling units weighing a total of 270 tons. Read more here
