The recently dedicated Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, in Boston, represents the culmination of a 22-month vertical expansion of the school's original 1972 building. The $68 million project involved constructing five new stories totaling 95,000 sf atop the building's existing 10 stories, which were also remodeled. ARC/Architectural Resources, Cambridge, was the project's architect, with Shawmut Design and Construction, Boston, as GC. The project is seeking LEED certification.
