Based in Newton, Mass., Chapman Construction/Design is a 54-person firm specializing in sustainable construction management and consulting services for corporate, education, and medical/biotech clients.
Founded in 1984, Chapman provides its employees with quarterly industry-specific training seminars on building science, new methods and materials, and LEED accreditation preparation. Nearly half of all employees—26 of 54—have earned LEED AP status.
