Shawmut Design and Construction

Boston’s oldest hotel, the Omni Parker House, has been transformed through a $65 million renovation, preserving its 170-year legacy while introducing thoughtful modern enhancements. The project touched every aspect of the guest experience, from all 551 guest rooms—including 57 suites and the Premier “Legend Suites”—to 23,000 square feet of meeting space, 19 reimagined boardrooms, the Rooftop Ballroom, and the vibrant lobby. The renovation honors the hotel’s historic character, blending classic elegance with contemporary comforts, and celebrates the landmark’s role in Boston’s cultural and civic history. 🔗 Read more about the transformation here: https://lnkd.in/e5jYHeJc #ShawmutBuilt

We were proud to join our partners—including the City of Boston and Sasaki —to celebrate Boston City Hall Plaza being honored with a 2025 Preservation Award from the Boston Preservation Alliance. Once expansive and inaccessible, the plaza has been transformed into a vibrant civic front yard that welcomes all Bostonians—preserving its architectural legacy while introducing thoughtful design updates including accessible promenades, new gathering areas, a reopened North Entry, over 250 new trees and thousands of native plants, and a new civic pavilion. The revitalized plaza reflects a shared commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and community—creating a space designed for everyone. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/e9SaGKjk #ShawmutBuilt #ShawmutProud

Brimmer and May's vision for a vibrant hub of wellness and connection is taking shape. We recently celebrated the topping off of the new 26,000-square-foot Recreation and Wellness Center—a facility that will more than double the school’s recreation space and transform the campus experience for students, faculty, and staff. Replacing the original 1972 Thompson Gymnasium, the new center will feature a competition gymnasium with seating for 300, two practice courts, a multipurpose recreation area, a state-of-the-art fitness room, and dedicated spaces for athletic trainers and wellness counselors. Designed to integrate fitness and collaboration, the building is anchored by a light-filled, double-height lobby, flexible classrooms, and a warm façade of wood and metal sunshades that complement the surrounding neighborhood. Together with our partners at Sasaki and Skanska, we’re proud to bring this project to life, advancing Brimmer and May’s commitment to wellness, learning, and community. #ShawmutBuilt
