Constructed in 1914 as separate freshman dormitories along the Charles River, Winthrop House consisted of two Neo-Georgian buildings, Gore Hall and Standish Hall. In the early 1930’s, the two buildings were renovated and combined to become John Winthrop House, part of Harvard University’s newly developed House System. The project included a complete renovation of the building, including the relocation of a historic timber frame building needed to complete the project programmatical goals.
CVM provided structural engineering services for the project including engineering for the relocation of a historic wood frame building. CVM served as the building enclosure consultant for the restoration. In a well-coordinated effort between the design team and school officials, the entire project was completed in 15 months.
