Cambridge City Hall

OVERVIEW

The Cambridge City Hall project, officially called the Multi Department Relocation Plan, consisted of complex renovations and enhancements to the 4-story, late 19th-century building to better accommodate City Council and other departments. The City Hall is the City’s most prominent landmark and represents a symbol of local government. 

The scope of work for the initial phase consisted of the occupied renovation of the 4-story City Hall; modifications to certain on-site utilities; selective re-setting of existing paving stones; exterior railing repair; new exterior windows and interior-placed storm sash windows; and other associated work. Interior renovations included selective demolition; new partitions and finishes; and re-finishing of historically-significant interior surfaces. W.T. Rich also facilitated upgrades and replacements of critical building systems, including new MEP, fire protection, and data, security and communication wiring systems.
