Transcript of Stanmar Inc. - Independent School Portfolio
Eagle Hill SchoolRonald M. Baglio Sports & Fitness Center
LOCATION: Hardwick, MASQUARE FEET: 62,000FACILITY TYPE: Athletic and Recreation Center
“The beauty of Stanmar is their expertise in athletic and rec-
reational buildings on both the design and construction side.
Because Stanmar has done over 75 facilities, they know the
issues surrounding an athletic center that other architects
wouldn’t, and we reaped the benefits of their great design and
experience.”
PJ McDonaldHeadmaster
Over the past two decades, the Eagle Hill School has opened a Student Union, Cultural Center,
Academic Center, and multiple dormitories. To complete the School’s transformation, Eagle Hill
selected Stanmar to design and construct their Sports and Fitness center. The school wanted their
facility to open earlier in the summer than originally planned, and knowing our reputation and
track record completing projects on time and on budget, Eagle Hill’s leadership toured a few of
our past facilities and entrusted us to bring their vision to reality. The facility opened this past
July two months ahead of schedule and on budget.
Miss Porter’s SchoolSquash and Fitness Center
LOCATION: Farmington, ConnecticutSQUARE FEET: 29,646FACILITY TYPE: Natatorium / Competition Squash
“We love the flow of our new Squash & Swim Center. The build-
ing blends well with the existing architecture. We also like the
fine detailing that Stanmar used in the facility – such as the
marble treatment on the window ledge in the back stairwell.
Everyone also loves the river view lounge. We think it’s spec-
tacular and we’re using it for more than just athletics…we’re
hosting many events there. We hosted 12 teams for a squash
tournament and received numerous compliments on our new
facility!”
Ms. Susan GriffinFormer Athletic Director
Miss Porter’s School was looking to drastically upgrade their squash and swimming facilities.
They had never used the design-build method, and were at first hesitant to work with us. After
visiting our past clients to see the quality of our workmanship, and looking into our track record
specializing in athletic facilities, they entrusted us to build their new sports center. The new
center is designed to fit the home-like setting of the existing campus architecture, while taking
advantage of the spectacular river views surrounding the school, and has provided an exquisite
venue for competitions. Miss Porters School felt they were taking a risk going with a firm that
utilizes design build – but as with all our other projects, the Squash and Swim Center was com-
pleted on time and on budget.
St. George’s SchoolNorris D. Hoyt Pool & Hamblet Campus Center
LOCATION: Newport, Rhode IslandSQUARE FEET: 31,700FACILITY TYPE: Student Center with Natatorium
“One of our faculty members, a former lawyer and a member
of our design committee, mentioned that Stanmar’s ability to
stick to the construction schedule is something rarely seen in
her 10 years of legal practice in real estate development. The
site manager had done a terrific job by accommodating the
ongoing needs of the School. Stanmar has been responsive, re-
sourceful, and timely and we are very pleased about the qual-
ity of the workmanship. In short, we are very pleased that we
invited Stanmar to design and build our new facilities.”
Mr. Charles A. HambletFormer Headmaster
The St. George’s School needed to build a natatorium and campus center at opposite ends of
an existing four-building complex. With only 30 feet for their new natatorium, they turned to
Stanmar because of our track record and experience dealing with difficult and unusual design
challenges. Our design team redesigned the internal traffic pattern and added new egress to the
existing facilities, creating natural circulation throughout the entire building. The new swimming
pool and student center seamlessly blends into the traditional Georgian architecture of the exist-
ing campus and creates a true hub for on-campus social life.
Hamden Hall Country Day SchoolBeckerman Athletic Center
LOCATION: Hamden, ConnecticutSQUARE FEET: 62,700FACILITY TYPE: Natatorium and Multipurpose Athletic Center
“Athletic Facilities that stand up to the everyday wear and tear
are hard to come by. If you are thinking of building an athlet-
ic center anywhere in the country, you should connect with
Stanmar. They built us the best athletic center we could have
asked for with basketball courts, a pool, a fitness center, a stu-
dent lounge and locker rooms. Well-built and on schedule.”
Mr. Jim HunterDirector of Facilities
Hamden Hall Country Day School, with students in K-12, was desperate to bring their programs
together into one facility, and engaged a local architect to develop a solution. The project quickly
exceeded the school’s budget, and for years the project was on hold. Upon learning of Stanmar’s
track record of value-driven solutions, we were invited to campus to help solve their budgetary
problems – with an understanding we would not compromise quality. By moving the facility to
a different site (saving the school significant costs due to poor soil) and designing the facility as
a one story building, Hamden Hall was able to proceed with construction without compromising
any program space. Today, the facility serves as more than just an athletic facility, becoming the
social hangout for Hamden Hall’s students.
Tufts UniversitySteve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center
LOCATION: Medford, MASQUARE FEET: 42,000FACILITY TYPE: Athletic and Recreation Facility
“We are very glad we chose Stanmar to design and construct
our new Steve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center. Stanmar’s
specialists provided us with an innovative solution. This was
ideal because it’s a more efficient design, we have far superior
program spaces, and we’ve realized significant cost savings.”
Mr. Bill GehlingAthletic Director
For 10 years, Tufts University wrestled with design concepts from several different architects to
renovate an existing aged athletic building. Each time, the project stalled due to spiraling costs,
unworkable design concepts, and shrinking program spaces. Our design team was invited to offer
our ideas and suggestions for the project and, after listening to the University’s needs, developed
a new approach with a completely different floor plan and entry concept. The resulting design
has become a signature facility for Tufts, meeting the University’s programmatic needs, unifying
its existing historic buildings, and most importantly keeping within budget. Recently opened in
2012, the new facility creates a strong visual connection to Tufts Athletics, and enhances campus
life for all members of the University’s community.
