ARTHUR ERICKSON ARCHITECTS
The Firm
AEA is an internationally recognized firm of architects,
designers and planners, with offices in Canada, the
United States and abroad. The firm was established in
Vancouver in 1972 from the former firm of Erickson-
Massey, in practice since 1963. A Montreal office of the
firm was opened in 1965 to service projects at Expo '67
and moved to Toronto in 1970. In 1978, a Middle East
office was opened in Kuwait for the planning of the new
town centre of Fintas, and in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for
the management of the new Foreign Ministry Head-
quarters and other major projects in the Kingdom. In
1980, the firm won a developer competition for the
11-acre "Bunker Hill" project in downtown Los Angeles
and opened its American offices in 1981. Projects com-
pleted by AEA frequently establish precedents in de-
sign. The firm has received many professional, civic
and international awards and honours for its work.
AEA provides professional services in architecture and
interior design, urban design, planning, programming,
and project management to all levels of government,
institutions, corporations, developers and private
clients. Architectural commissions executed by the
firm include government offices, judicial courts and
offices, universities, museums, concert halls and
theatres, houses of worship, exhibition pavilions, com-
mercial buildings, hotels and tourist facilities, transit
stations, research laboratories and warehouses, hous-
ing complexes, and private residences.
AEA has also been involved in large-scale planning,
urban design, and master planning projects for rec-
reational, transportation, tourism and development
complexes, as well as commissions for major city de-
velopments, waterfronts, coastal development and
town centres. Commissions include the master plan-
ning and design of several universities and the prog-
ramming, master planning and design of large hos-
pitals.
AEA continually studies architectural and design tradi-
tions from many lands and cultures and strives to in-
corporate the best spirit of those traditions in its inter-
national work. It is this global consciousness, reflected
in AEA's projects, which has earned the firm a reputa-
tion for excellence.
ARTHUR ERICKSON ARCHITECTS
The FYactice
AEA undertakes projects of any scale or type which, by
their nature, lend themselves to creative and often pre-
cedent-setting solutions. Design and planning com-
missions start with a careful study of the client and user
needs, including the project schedule and budget, all of
which is prerequisite information in effective
architectural and planning work. The firm also seeks to
determine the role the project plays in relation to its
environmental, historical, social and economic con-
text.
Following personal contact with clients to explore their
needs and interests, AEA staff prepares a programme.
This document organizes and describes the client's re-
quirements in written, tabulated and diagrammatic
form. Each project design usually starts with a small
team of architects who work directly with Arthur Erick-
son to set the ground rules and subsequently the basic
conceptual direction. The design is developed gradual-
ly from conceptual sketches through increasing levels
of detail. Models often are used from the outset.
The project team and Arthur Erickson meet on a regular
basis throughout the design process. Between these
work sessions, the team explores various alternatives
and ideas to ensure that every possibility has been
examined, and its design and cost implications under-
stood. The intent is to start a design without preconcep-
tions, and to keep all design possibilities open for as
long as possible before making the concept final.
Particular care is taken to ensure that design integrity is
maintained through the working drawing and con-
struction phases. To achieve the required continuity,
the project architect and the core design team, au-
gmented as required by more technically oriented staff.
normally will carry a job through all phases of work to
completion. During these latter phases, Arthur Erick-
son meets with the team on a continual basis to ensure
that there is an efficient transition throughout the de-
sign process.
To encourage the most appropriate and creative use of
the talents of the firm, and to allow the acceptance of
commissions of all sizes, AEA has adopted a flexible
management approach. While certain senior members
have clearly 'defined roles, the team structure and the
assignment of responsibilities are tailored to suit the
needs of each specific project. Each office is organized
as an independent administration with Arthur Erickson
personally involved in all stages of the design of all
projects. Each office is managed by associate senior
architects, who report directly to Mr. Erickson on all
management matters.
At the start of an assignment, one or two senior staff
members and Arthur Erickson work with the client to
define the scope and nature of the project and deter-
mine the appropriate staffing and scheduling. A senior
architect is responsible, with Arthur Erickson's direc-
tion, for supervising a project from inception to com-
pletion. His tasks include client and user liaison, orga-
nization of the architectural team's day-to-day activi-
ties, consultant coordination, and dealing with the au-
thorities who have jurisdiction over certain aspects of
the project. If the scale of the project warrants, he also
will assist in any coordination required with project or
construction management firms.
Team members are assigned as needed for the nature
and stage of the project. AEA ensures that a variety of
technical experts is available on staff to provide the
necessary pool of resources for the team approach.
The firm has a staff of more than 100 professionals with
expertise in the fields of Urban and Regional Planning,
Programming and Feasibility Studies, Architectural De-
sign, Contract Documentation, Interior Design, Land-
scape Design, Quantity Surveying, Construction Su-
pervision, and Project Management.
AEA calls on the expertise of the finest outside consult-
ing services for the prime engineering disciplines,
structural, mechanical and electrical, and for cost esti-
mating. If the project demands, more specialized con-
sultants may be retained in acoustics, transportation,
lighting, special programming, fire safety, elevator and
conveyor systems.
After building completion, the firm encourages
ongoing user feedback. Monitoring and assessing the
building in use is a continuing part of the overall pro-
cess. The knowledge gamed from this dialogue is used
to great advantage in subsequent projects.
The diversity of the AEA staff, coupled with the continu-
ity and team spirit which results from the project team
approach, works to the advantage and best interests of
the client. Staff members from many nations and
ethnic backgrounds are attracted to AEA by the firm's
reputation for creative work and high quality stan-
dards. AEA is proud of the diversity of its staff, which
serves to broaden the collective experience of the firm
and encourages a lively exchange of ideas from diffe-
rent traditions.

y-^ r" V I T r W% ''^ ^ remarkable achievement in a number of ways. Arthur Enckson Architects has
i Y'^\ I r|V created a bold new contemporary courts building at an appropriately monumental
^^ 1- I ^ ■ »- scale-and linked it well with the street, lower-scale offices, and a landmark
courthouse soon to be recycled into a city cultural center. On a site long proposed
as a civic square, the architects have woven through the complex a splendid park
and public promenade. The design establishes for Vancouver a new emphasis on
lower density and pedestrian access and vitality. And as the photo on the next
spread suggests, the over-all design is elegant and expansive, functional but with
elements of fantasy, offering splendid spaces inside and out Perhaps above all it is
wonderfully spirited. . . . —Janet Nairn

The grand scale and the
complexity of Robson
Square and The Law
Courts — a horizontal three-
block-long complex in the heart
of Vancouver — singles it out as
one of the most important and
ambitious urban re-designs in
years In concept and in reality
the project is seen as a three-
dimensional park spine bordered
by two prime north-south streets
(Hornby and Howe Streets) and
just south of the prime east-west
artery (Georgia Street), a site long
proposed as a civic square
Planned in relation to a broader
downtown context the project is,
in fact, the first major step
toward the city planning depart-
ment's objective of lower density
and greater emphasis on pedes-
trian amenities
Though conceived as an
integrated whole, each of the
three blocks of the project is dis-
tinctive and different The grada-
tion of the site reinforces a pat-
tern of "movement" that flows
from the great inclined glass roof
and exposed structural framing
of the Law Courts building,
across the street via the linear
pool of water and cascading
waterfalls, to three tiers of zig-
zagging steps which lead to a
sunken plaza This plaza contin-
ues under Robson Street (see site
plan) before rising again in front
of the old courthouse, at the
northern end of the three blocks
(These three blocks are locally
referred to by the city planners'
designations as Block 51 for the
old courthouse square. Block 61
for Robson Square and the pro-
vincial government offices, and
Block 71 for the Law Courts
building )
While the three blocks are
owned by the British Columbia
provincial government, the old
courthouse will be leased to the
city for complete interior renova-
tion and some exterior additions
to transform it into a cultural cen-
ter The rotunda and other main
floor spaces will be used for an
information center, and exhibi-
tion and meeting/conference
rooms The L-shaped portion of
the building will include the Van-
couver Art Gallery, a small the-
ater, and other performing
spaces, filling out approximately
120,000 square feet. The formal
plaza with fountain located on
the Georgia Street elevation
(again, see site plan) will continue
to be used for important civic
occasions Also planned is an
underground rapid transit station
that will connect to pedestrian-
retail malls existing beneath
neighboring Pacific Centre and
Eaton's department store
The main outdoor space,
and therefore the main public
focus, of the complex is Robson
Square (right) named after the

Premier John Robson. Its sunken
plaza is a year-round mecca for
outdoor activities During the
summer, it serves as an extension
of restaurants bordering the pla-
za, and as an exhibition space
During the winter, a portion ol
the larger court is used as an
ice-skating arena, protected by a
circular dome Robson Street has
been closed-off to automobile
traffic and designated for only
buses; and street closure may be
extended to other selected
streets in the neighborhood Be-
low Robson Square is the Media
Centre with display space, meet-
ing rooms, two auditoriums, and
related audio-visual equipment
The three-block-long civic
< omplex IS anchored by the
Ijw Courts building (top in
site plan and photo left), and
a landmark courthouse (bottom
in site plan and top photo
above) In between is the
nearly camouflaged provincial
government office building,
covered by a pool ol water,
which flows over waterfalls
and eventually to an
underground pool for recycling.
The public space, with
unexpected pastoral spots, is
intricately woven throughout,
and highlighted by its formal
sunken arena (center photo

a series of gardens and terraces,

The toe jl point ol the complex
is the Law Courts building.
with Its strong exposed concrete
structural framing and soaring
glass root sloping to the western
elevation The strength of
these forms and the terracing
so prominent in the design is
seen at the Nelson Street
entrance (right), and echoed
in the interiors (above) This
layering is also reflected on
the eastern elevation (top left
and section ) Careful detailing
includes the extension of the
open truss as a root border
with sliver-like structural framing
(top above)
30,000 square feet of public cir-
culation and retail space fronting
the sunken plaza Of this 380,000
gross square feet total, only
100,000 square feet is above
grade
In contrast, the new Law
Courts building is the^ most strik-
ing visual element of the complex
(with 669,000 gross square feet)
Set upon a podium two stories
above street level, at the highest
point of the site, the building's
glass roof dominates the compo-
sition. To maintain the relation-
ship of scale between the new
building and the older court-
house at the other end of the
complex, the roof level of the
new building was kept at approx-
imately the same height of the
dome of the landmark building
The strong exposed post-
and-beam structural elements at
both ends of the new courthouse
only hint at what's to come in the
interiors. Once inside, the sharply
defined tiers of columns prome-
nade down the full length of a
wide public concourse, under the
glass roof which is supported by
an intricate space truss. The full
visual impact, however, is not
perceived until one recognizes
the public corridor terraces step-
ping upward. All levels are filled
with daylight — even on the noto-
rious number of gray days in
Vancouver On bright, clear
days, playful shadows are cast by
the space truss.
While these public spaces
were critical to the architects'
design concept, they were a gen-
erous gesture on the part of the
client, for the purpose of the
building is, of course, to house
courtrooms and support facilities
for judges and lawyers But the
gesture was worthwhile the con-
course is a breathtaking experi-
ence for the first-time visitor, and
a continuing delight for the daily
user The public areas appear vir-
tually free of security restrictions
because they are separated from
the working areas. Since security
was a key factor for the judges,
there is a separate high security
circulation pattern for them and
others involved in court proce-
dures
Twenty-six civil and criminal
courtrooms are positioned in a
central swath of the new build-
ing—with access for the public
on one side and |udges on the
other The |udges' chambers are
located along the perimeter of
the eastern elevation (see floor
plans) and all have views. )ury
rooms and auxiliary facilities are
worked into the plan according
to the size of the level. Each is
the equivalent of one-and-a-half
conventional floor height. By
means of an "interlocking" stack-
ing system, a whole floor of
courtrooms and related spaces
can be accommodated (see sec-

The interiors arrangement of
the Law Courts building reflects
the architects ' desire to express
the importance of public space.
The main public concourse
(right) continues the spirit of
the exterior with its dramatic
post-and-beam structure
marching through, underneath
the tinted glass roof, supported
by a space truss. A grand
central staircase (left) leads to
the upper terraces; each level
provides striking views of other
terraces while creating waiting
areas to the courtrooms. Class-
enclosed corners (above) offer
expansive views to the cityscap
especially fascinating at the
northern edges which overlook
the rest of the complex across
the flowing pool of water that
covers the government offices.
While there is no "typical"
floor because of square footagi
differences on set-back levels,
the general plan has public
' 'galleries ' ' relating to the
centrally positioned courtrooms
beyond which are judges '
chambers
tions, pages 70 and 74) A large
restaurant is also provided just
above the connection to the pro-
vincial government office build-
ing in the central block, overlook-
ing the pool of water
Like any project of this com-
plexity, and public visibility —
indeed, of public importance in
an important city — the new cen-
ter has been subjected to criti-
cism, some of which Arthur Erick-
son agrees with For one thing,
the open plan offices (designed
by another firm retained by the
government) in the provincial
government building (photo,
page 74) are less than successful
since the varying partition heights
do not relate well to Erickson's
scheme of letting side lighting
into the space and creating views
out. Another disappointment is
the selection of fast-food conces-
sions serving the public next to
the Robson Square's major plaza
Erickson had envisioned (and lost
the argument for) a series of eth-
nic restaurants, each with a dif-
ferent environment that would
appeal to Vancouver's diverse
populations And even though
the complex is clearly land-
scaped—and indeed may be-
come lushly landscaped as the
plantings mature — Erickson
hoped for more mature plane
trees along the edges of the com-
plex (see site plan) both to define
the edges and to soften the con-
crete walls And of course, the
bold and broad use of concrete,
as well as the size of the com-
plex, leads to the criticism of
"monumentality"
Erickson winces at this last
criticism — and while that criticism
IS probably inevitable, it is surely
debatable. On a positive note,
the three-block-long complex,
with a budget of $139 million, is
of course very large; but that
does not make it monumental in
the perjorative sense. For one
thing, it is surely arguable that
monumentality is necessary and
desirable in a major public build-
ing; it IS surely arguable that,
appropriately designed, we need
monuments. But if this is a monu-
ment, it is one designed for the
people, appropriate to its uses
and its setting At any rate, this is
a far more sensitive urban solu-
tion, especially for the beautiful
city of Vancouver, than an earlier
proposal by an earlier govern-
ment and architect for "the high-
est building in Vancouver" on the
present site. It would have been
a 55-story skyscraper dominating
the skyline, 20 stories taller than
the now highest Toronto Domin-
ion Bank tower
The project's horizontality
and terracing, and its use of con-
crete as the basic material, grows
out of its site, its placement, and
Erickson's earlier work — particu-
larly Simon Eraser University, the
Museum of Anthropology, and
most of his private houses — that
built his distinguished reputation
and his selection for this job. This
is also a public building, clearly
designed with the public in mind
Its park and promenade spaces
invite everyone to use the com-
plex—whether they have busi-
ness there or not. Erickson sees it
as "a mixture of grand spaces
and smaller more intimate places,
landscaped paths and quiet cor-
ners. We used the familiar tech-
nique of providing surprises, intri-
guing views at the end of a walk-
way or corridor — hoping to draw
visitors along "
As noted at the beginning,
this grand complex also es-
tablishes a new core and charac-
ter for its city — and perhaps that
is the grandest accomplishment
of all.

im"RODUCTION
The Henderson Planning/Design Group is a
team of professionals who provide a full
range of urban planning and economic
development consulting services to
communities, agencies and private
clients .
Philip Henderson and Richard Beatty
formed the firm in 1977 after working
together for many years in both the
public and private sectors. Together,
they have over 35 years of experience
in planning, designing and implementing
urban projects.
Philip Henderson is a professional
architect, urban designer and regional
planner.
During five years at the Boston Redevelop-
ment Authority, he supervised project
planning and design for projects through-
out Boston's downtown, including new
commercial development, rehabilitation
and preservation projects, transportation
projects, and area-wide pedestrian
improvements .
He subsequently was a founder and Senior
Associate of Charles G. Hilgenhurst &
Associates, where he built and directed
the firm's extensive planning and urban
design consulting practice for six years.
Richard Beatty brings to the firm's work
a strong record of public sector exper-
ience in project planning and implemen-
tation, inter-agency coordination,
community participation, and expediting
of complex projects.
During fifteen years at the Boston
Redevelopment Authority he was involved
in every aspect of Boston's massive
Central Business District project, from
initial project planning through
actual construction of the plan's major
components. As Project Director, he
coordinated all of the agency's downtown
work, and maintained a cooperative and
close relationship with Boston's
business community.
During six years at the Massachusetts
Central Transportation Planning Staff,
he programmed and managed project
planning work for the Executive Office
of Transportation and Construction, the
Department of Public Works, and the
Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority. In most cases, these were
very large multi-modal projects which
involved extensive community partici-
pation and inter-agency coordination.
Our professional team-building approach
enables us to be highly responsive to
our clients and to provide expertise
specifically matched to their needs.
The Partners are directly involved in
each project, providing "single point
responsibility" for quality of work,
budget and schedule. Backing up the
Partners are team members with the skills
to carry out an entire project or to
complete a specialized assignment within
a project. This staffing flexibility
enables us to respond very specifically
to a client's changing needs.
We are expanding in response to the
complex needs of our clients - both
public and private - in the 1980' s.
Our recent consulting work has included
downtown revitalization plans, develop-
ment plans for institutions and for
privately financed projects, regional
transportation planning, feasibility
studies for re-use of several types of
buildings, and community liaison
programs for agencies.
The firm is currently actively involved
in the following projects:
o We are providing feasibility analyses,
site planning and marketing services
on several large developments for a
major national real estate developer.
o The MBTA and North Shore Economic
Council have retained us to develop
plans and an implementation strategy
for improved public transit serving
the North Shore communities.
o We are analyzing the development
potential of the Revere Beach parking
lots to help the City of Revere ex-
pedite redevelopment of this prime
site overlooking the MDC park and the
ocean.
o Middleton, MA. hired us to develop
a zoning plan to improve the type and
design of development along the Route
114 corridor.
o We are continuing to provide services
on a sizeable waste-to-energy project
north of Boston which will recycle
1500 tons per day of solid waste from
cities and towns, generating electricity
to be purchased by New England Power.
o Having completed a development plan for
the historic downtown millyard in Ames-
bury, MA., we are helping the town im-
plement the plan and secure grants for
public improvements.
Experience
REVERE BEACH DEVELOPMENT
Henderson Planning and RKG, Associates
analyzed the market and development
feasibility of the 12 acre parking area
at Wonderland Station for the City of
Revere. The results were a realistic
housing market forecast and a potential
development program for the site which
overlooks the refurbished MDC Revere
Beach park and the open Atlantic.
The city will solicit development pro-
posals early in 1983 for a staged con-
struction of up to 700 high quality
condominium units and 20 to 30,000 square
feet of retail/service space.

CABOT, CABOT & FORBES
The Henderson Planning/Design Group is
on retainer to the Industrial Develop-
ment Division of Cabot, Cabot & Forbes
to augment their "in-house" team on a
variety of site and development planning
projects. Services have included site
feasibility analyses, traffic and
parking planning, liaison with agencies
and communities, and presentations of
development opportunities to potential
users.
The firm recently analyzed several
excess state properties for CC&F to
determine the feasibility of private
development on the sites. Analyses
included conversion of existing structures
to office/industrial use; solutions to
traffic/access problems on-site and from
major arterial roads; and possible
strategies to assure local and state
support for the projects.
Other assignments have involved identi-
fying potential new construction sites
for large R&D clients of Cabot, Cabot
& Forbes.
In all cases, the Principals of the
Henderson Planning/Design Group worked
closely with the engineers, development
specialists, marketing personnel and the
Director of Industrial Development at
CC&F to provide a well rounded team with
the specific skills required for these
complex projects.

FORT POim CHANNEL BOSTON , MASSACHUSETTS
The principals of the Henderson
Planning/Design Group developed
a master plan for the Fort Point
Channel are of Boston which is now
being implemented through the
adaptive re-use of the solid old
wool industry buildings into office
space, housing, institutional and
commercial activities. This area
was envisioned as a logical expansion
of downtown Boston focussing on the
South Station Transportation Center
and the waterfrontage on the channel
and inner harbor.
The abandoned Penn Central freight
yards offered the opportunity for
new development and the planning team
worked closely with the land owners
to create a plan for housing, hotel,
commercial and open space on this
thirty acre tract.
This project is now in the development
stage with the Children's Museum and
several office space conversions
completed and final plans underway for
housing and a hotel. The early
comprehensive planning effort helped
provide guidance for sound investment
decisions and established the public
physical and policy framework so
necessary to attract the private
development.
LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS
In the wake of the devastating fire of
November 28-29, 1981, the City of Lynn
embarked on an accelerated planning
effort to redirect its downtown economic
revitalization and turn the disaster into
a new opportunity for physical and social
improvements. The Henderson Planning/
Design Group was retained by "Step Up
With Lynn, Inc.", a non-profit public/
private group dedicated to Lynn's down-
town renewal , to help define the post-
fire planning and development program.
Working with on-going plans such as the
Heritage State Park on the waterfront,
^4BTA Central Square improvements , the
new $26 million Lynn campus for the North
Shore Community College and loft building
conversions not destroyed by the fire,
HP/DG presented an overview of the present
development potential of downtown Lynn.
Opportunities were defined for increasing
the positive effect of the various new
developments and for reinforcing them
with adjacent development.
One of the products of our work was a
comprehensive slide presentation on the
future of Lynn which is being used by the
City and "Step Up With Lynn, Inc.", to
introduce developers and investors to the
opportunities in Lynn.
AMES BURY MILLYARD DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Henderson Planning Group was retained by
the Massachusetts Government Land Bank
to work with the Town of Amesbury, MA on
a re-use consensus and development plan
for the historic brick millyard complex
in the town center.
The scope of work included re-use, struc-
tural and financial analysis of the eight
buildings and design/development guide-
lines for the structures and open space
along the Powow riverfront.
Working with an eleven- member Millyard

BOSTON CErfTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
Philip Henderson was Chief of Project
Design and Richard Beatty the Director of
Downtown Development at the Boston
Redevelopment Authority during the
critical years of planning and development
implementation in the 1960's and early
1970' s. They carried responsibility
within the CBD Project for guiding new
development and traffic planning, design
of pedestrian areas and parks, and for
planning and preparing developer's kits
for several large multi-use projects.
More than $800,000,000 of new construction
has been implemented as a result of the
plans developed by the CBD team. Formal
designation of the Customs House/Broad
Street area as a Historic District and
rehabilitation of landmarks such as Old
City Hall, the Old Corner Bookstore and
the Record-American Building were
accomplished during this period.
Throughout Boston ' s downtown revitalization
process, very close liaison was maintained
with the business community. Rich Beatty
was the City's representative on the
Committee for the Central Business District,
Inc. , which was a full partner with the
City during the redevelopment.

NEWBURYPORT, MASSACHUSETTS
The Henderson Group has had an ongoing
planning relationship with Newburyport,
a city which has received wide acclaim
for its sensitive and successful
restoration of the early 19th century
downtown Market Square.
Our services in Newburyport have included
the creation of a development strategy
for the re-use of the Central Fire
Station; working with the Mayor and the
Community Development office to help
establish a planning approach for the
downtown waterfront; and participation
in a re-use analysis for a large down-
town industrial building.
The architecturally significant Central
Fire Station is the keystone for the
continued revitalization of the Market
Square area and the waterfront. The
recommendation to include this structure
as an integral part of the waterfront
redevelopment parcel was unanimously
approved by the City Council and will
provide a financial incentive as well
as a unique design opportunity for the
developers of the waterfront.

Assistance was given to the City in prep-
aring a planning strategy for the entire
downtown waterfront which will complement
the Market Square renewal and the adjacent
downtown neighborhoods. A comprehensive
waterfront plan is now being made for the
City by a consultant which addresses the
area and issues as recommended.
The Henderson Group participated in a
development and re-use seminar for the
owners of a large industrial building
within the waterfront area. Alternative
courses of action were described to the
client which included various re-uses
and the needed changes in the surrounding
environment to support successful reno-
vation. Opportunities for cooperative
action with owners of adjacent properties
were also explored.

WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT
PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE
This development proposal to the City
of Portsmouth was prepared for a 4 . 5
acre site overlooking the Piscataqua
River. The site is adjacent to the
historic Market Street restoration area
and special care was given to the design,
scale and architecture so that it will
enhance the existing downtown.
The development consists of 47 residential
units sited to take advantage of the
views of the maritime activity and the
early 19th century downtown buildings,
and approximately 26,000 square feet of
commercial/office space in a cluster of
two-story buildings on the inland portion
of the site.
Total construction cost is estimated at
$5,650,000 with the commercial/office
space to be built and marketed in three
stages .
Strong pedestrian connections were planned
both within the deveopment and connecting
the site to the rest of downtown. All
parking required is provided on-site and
gathered into several well defined areas,
rather than scattered among the buildings.
The creation of this mixed-use development
will provide a high quality addition to
the successful restoration effort underway
in New Hampshire's largest seacoast
community.

SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR PROJECT
Mr. Henderson led the team which was
responsible for the planning of over
$530 million of new urban development in
the Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority's Southwest Corridor Project.
The Corridor is a five mile swath of
land running through several Boston
neighborhoods which was originally
cleared for construction of an inter-
state highway. It will contain new
high speed Amtrak service, a new MBTA
Orange Line, and eight new stations,
costing a total of $760 million. Since
the land area required for these facili-
ties is modest, a large amount of excess
cleared land has been divided into some
75 development parcels.
The team formulated a master land
development plan, based upon detailed
analysis of each parcel together with
an extensive community participation and
review process. The plan includes
1,000 dwelling units, 3 million sq.ft.
of commercial space, 2 million sq.ft of
institutional space, and 400,000 sq.ft.
of industrial space, all linked to an
80 acre linear park.
Tools were developed to communicate the
tax, job generation, traffic and other
impacts of every development alternative
for every parcel. This information,
together with information and attitudes
gathered from the community, was used to
prepare detailed developer's kits for
the major corridor parcels. Although
construction of the transit facilities
has only recently begun, private develop-
ment in the Jamaica Plain and Roxbury
neighborhoods and in downtown Boston
on corridor-related sites is already
underway. It will eventually result in
SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR cont'd.
creation of up to 12,000 new jobs, and
tax revenues to the City of Boston esti-
mated at $7 million per year.
Mr. Henderson's team worked with residents
on all decisions regarding their neighbor-
hoods and businesses. With as many as
5,000 residents participating in the
project, this process was organized
around the eight station areas so that
residents and consultants could work
together as much as possible in smaller
groups .
The development planners were also part
of the Project Coordinating Team, and
maintained intensive coordination
throughout the process with the archi-
tects for each of the eight stations and
with a very large engineering team to
assure workable designs and construction
staging for both transit facilities and
private development.

WATERTOWN ARSENAL RE-USE P1J\N
Conversion of the former US Army Arsenal
at Watertown, Massachusetts to civilian
use was a major issue in the town for
a decade. Numerous attempts to develop
the 125-acre site and its 31 buildings
had failed. A group of concerned Water-
town residents then formed the Watertown
Arsenal Alternative Use Committee (WAAUC)
.to prepare a new plan for the site which
would merit broad community support .
The plan which Mr. Henderson prepared
for the WAAUC was built around a concept
which included a lively mix of public
and institutional uses with new retail
space. Several acres of existing open
space, including extensive frontage on
the Charles River, would provide the
Town much-needed recreational facilities.
The Arsenal began operation in 1816,
under Captain George Talcott, and still
contains 12 structures of significant
historic and architectural merit. The
plan called for extensive rehabilitation
of these older structures, including
re-use of several for Town facilities.
The twentieth century saw construction
on the site of numerous large heavy
industrial structures totaling some
945,000 square feet of space. Several of
the newer and larger buildings were
designated for institutional and museum
uses, and others for indoor recreation
and enclosed shopping areas.
The WAAUC disbanded upon completion of
its work, and the Watertown Redevelopment
Authority is carrying out development of
the Arsenal site.
HARBOR PLAN, NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT
The New Haven harbor encompasses over
five square miles of water, enclosed
by a thirteen mile coastline. It opens
directly into Long Island Sound.
Over recent decades, the focus of New
Haven's development activity has
shifted away from the harbor. Water-
front land has increasingly been
devoted to transportation and heavy
industrial uses, and the water itself
has become severely polluted. The
harbor, however, has immense untapped
potential to regain its historic role
as the focus for New Haven's commercial
and recreational growth without detri-
ment to its continued function as the
shipping port serving much of southern
New England.
tir. Henderson and members of the firm
prepared a comprehensive concept plan
for the future of the harbor, and
identified a series of feasible "early
action" projects for specific areas
along the waterfront.
A wide variety of activities and users
are affected by plans for the harbor's
future, and close liaison was maintained
with groups involved in shipping, oyster
cultivation, recreation, heavy industry,
historic preservation, sailing, and
development of commercial and residential
projects adjacent to the water. Ideas
and problems relating to the harbor were
discussed in small working meetings and
in well attended public symposia.

NORTH SHORE BUS SYSTEM
ESSEX COUmr, MASSACHUSETTS
The Henderson Group was retained by the
North Shore Economic Council to design
and help implement a regional bus system
for seventeen communities on the North
Shore of the Boston area.
The first phase was a feasibility
analysis which investigated the market
for ridership in the region and
evaluated various alternative systems,
costs and funding sources. The recommended
alternative was a moderate sized bus
system which serves primarily the more
densely populated communities of Beverly,
Salem, Peabody and Danvers. More than 66%
of the daily trips generated in this area
have both origin and destination within
the area. Therefore, the system was designed
to meet these regional travel needs and
to interface with the existing commuter
rail stations on the Eastern Branch of the
Boston and Maine for service to and from
downtown Boston.
The second phase includes refinement of the
preferred alternative to delineate routes,
schedules, fares, operating costs and
establish the administrative structure to
operate the system.

NORTH SHORE TRANSIT PROJECT
The Massachusetts North Shore is an area
of over 400 square miles stretching along
the coast from Boston to New Hampshire.
Included in the area are 27 cities and
towns served by the Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority (MBTA) .
Philip Henderson directed a planning team
which worked in a joint venture with an
engineer and Richard Beatty established
the liaison program and coordinated the
planning with the State agencies for the
analyses of rapid transit, commuter rail,
and express and local bus services, as
well as the identification of new devel-
opment opportunities resulting from the
transportation improvements. The first
phase of work identified forty alternative
service and alignment options, and
narrowed these to a final set of six.
The second phase of work then produced
an environmental impact analysis for
each alternative, a preferred alter-
native, and a capital grant application.
A strong community participation program
was the foundation of this planning
process. It kept the people of the North
Shore informed about progress, while
also making the consultant team and
MBTA staff aware of the concerns and
priorities of affected communities.
Sub-area committees included represent-
atives of each community and other
interested citizens, and met regularly
with the planning team. Public community
meetings and hearings were also held
periodically. Newsletters were published
and distributed throughout the area.
The Preferred Alternative includes a
carefully balanced package of improve-
ments to each of the systems serving
the North Shore. In Salem Massachusetts,
the plan includes a new commuter rail
and bus facility to upgrade passenger
service. More importantly, the station
Existing Lynn Central Square.
Proposed Ccnlral Square Station.
will be relocated to a new site, adjacent
to Salem's revitalized shopping district,
the new Essex Street Mall, and two
development sites. This station relocat-
ion plan was carefully worked out with
the Salem Planning Department as an
important part of Salem's revitalized
downtown.
In Lynn, Massachusetts, the plan calls
for a $250 Million extension of the
existing MBTA Blue Line transit to a new
terminal in Central Square. The terminal
will provide parking for 2000 cars and
will serve the Blue Line, commuter rail,
and local and line-haul buses. Retail
space within the terminal, together with
several newly created development sites
will be a major element in downtown
Lynn's economic recovery.
When fully implemented, the improve-
ments will increase the accessibility
of North Shore communities to Boston's
shopping areas and jobs, while offering
a convenient and inexpensive alternative
to the private automobile. The improve-
ments will also increase transit use
for trips between North Shore communi-
ties. Perhaps most importantly, they
will increase the development potential
and strengthen the economic base of the
entire North Shore.

As energy and material costs rise,
so do the demands placed on engi-
neering design firms throughout
the world. Sippican Consultants
International is meeting that chal-
lenge with resourcefulness and
enthusiasm, and the company's
three main functional divisions can
handle virtually any engineering
tasks. SCI's services include struc-
tural engineering, foundation
design, general civil engineering
and site work, mechanical, electri-
cal, power plant design and energy
conservation, as well as environ-
mental and sanitary engineering
and water resource planning. The
structural expertise of SCI has
made news in the modern engi-
neering world more than once, a
result of the example set by Wil-
liam J. LeMessurier, SCI's founder
and Chairman whose creative
spirit pervades the entire SCI orga-
nization. He teaches in the gradu-
ate school of Harvard and is one of
the most innovative professionals
in the nation.
SCI
SCI projects meet client demands,
from requirements for more floor
space, as in the Boston Federal
Reserve Bank, to requests for a
particular physical appearance, as
in the Johns-Manville World
Headquarters in Denver, Colorado.
But SCI's unique capabilities are
also demonstrated in highly spe-
cialized projects like the award-
winning National Aeronautics and
Space Museum in Washington,
DC, and the Dallas-Fort Worth
Airport in Texas.
SCI's achievements range from
elegant Hyatt Regency hotels to
consulting on building renova-
tions. In all assignments the SCI
effort is directed at how best to sat-
isfy client wishes, and this nearly
always means working closely
with project architects and owners
right from the start. This team con-
cept, or what LeMessurier calls
SCI's total system of effort, often
results in special answers to some
of the most difficult problems in
engineering, such as wind dynam-
ics and building motion. One
example of this kind of unique
solution is that of Citicorp Center
in New York City, which has
within it a Tuned Mass Damper
designed by SCI and applied for
the first time in the history of the
world to a tall building. Two such

dampers have also been installed
in another tall building in Boston,
thus enhancing the livability of the

Because no building is complete
without the proper internal organs,
SCI specializes in advanced engi-
neering solutions for every aspect
of internal climate control, electri-
cal, plumbing and process facili-
ties, and central power plants. It is
the economical incorporation of
these systems within widely vary-
ing architectural themes which dis-
tinguishes SCI's innovative
approach. SCI consults on com-
mercial and civic centers, educa-
tional and health facilities, sports
arenas, transportation facilities and
even seaside aquariums. Complex
seawater processing/distribution
systems had to be designed for the
exhibit tanks at the New England
and Baltimore Aquariums.
Another type of SCI-designed cli-
mate control can be found at the
Tufts-New England Medical
Center, where an advanced air-
conditioning system uses color-
coded pipes to carry both chilled
water and steam.
For efficiency and to obtain the
most economical design, both in
terms of initial cost and in terms of
energy conservation, all SCI engi-
neers make use of the firm's own

in-house computer which permits
the consideration of various alter-
natives in the design and to pro-
vide the client with choices about
trade-offs in the finished facility.
The SCI goal is always to make the
natural world more hospitable to
the user's needs.
SCI also provides expert counsel
on water resource planning. This
service is rendered to communi-
ties, industrial concerns, federal
and state agencies, as well as
foreign clients. A modern sewage
treatment facility has been
designed in Simsbury, Connecti-
cut, surpassing federal and local
requirements. SCI has designed
many other comparable systems
including dams and other facilities
to contain a city's entire water sup-
ply. SCI provides expert counsel in
arid regions of the world, where
maintaining a continuous clean
water supply can be extremely
difficult.

To tour Boston is to take a stroll
through SCI's corporate brochure ex-
cept that brochure photographs sud-
denly take life and invade our con-
sciousness as real, people-inhabited,
totally functional buildings.
For example, walking away from
downtown toward South Station,
once THE focal point of the Dewey
Square area, there rises the Federal
Reserve Bank Complex in new gran-
deur, a magnificent 33-story office
tower above a beautifully landscaped
plaza which supports an adjoining
four-story Bank Operations Center,
vaults and an auditorium, daily the
subject of camera enthusiasts. Archi-
tectural Design: Hugh Stubbins & As-
sociates.
Across the way on the corner of
Federal Street there is the new Fidu-
ciary Trust Building, remarkable in its
unusual shape — an irregular hexa-
gon, a sixteen-story office tower
standing strong, a monument to ar-
chitectural, contractor and structural
engineering genius struggling to re-
solve the almost insurmountable
problem of building over a site riddled
with old utilities, footings, piers and
debris uncountable. Architectural De-
sign; The Architects Collaborative,
Inc.
And that thirty-four story office
building along the way toward the
harbor, eye catching in precast archi-
tectural concrete and glass, is the
State Street Bank Building. Architec-
tural Design: F. A. Stahl & Associ-
ates/Hugh Stubbins & Associates.
Directly on the waterfront, don't
miss the educational experience of
the New England Aquarium, the origi-

Experience of the Firm
On the following pages are listed some of the more than 300
projects already undertaken by the firm. The projects are divided
into several categories:
• Development/Environmental Impact Studies
• Central Business District Studies and Urban Design
• Bus/Transit Related Projects
• Parking Studies
• Highway Design
A few projects may be listed under two categories because two major

Central Business District
(CBD) Studies & Urban Design
V/H has conducted a thorough analysis of the transportation systems
in large cities and towns. The objective is usually to revitalize
core retail areas and capture a greater share of the retail, coiaiaer-
cial and even tourist market. The methodology is to determine the
demands being placed on each transportation component — street
capacity, parking, transit, pedestrian access and safety, etc. —
and to reallocate space and redesign a balanced system. The follow-
ing is a partial listing of typical studies.
• Fitchburg, lAh - Conceptual plans to revitalize the CBD,
especially Main Street, the spine of the city's revitalization
area.
• Gloucester, lAK - Study generated by local businessmen of down-
town circulation and parking for CBD to provide access as a
regional shopping area.
• Medford, MA - Planning for a major pedestrian/transit mall and
a ring road to divert through traffic around the retail trade
area .
• Norwood MA - CBD study to relieve congestion and provide
various amenities, update antiquated signal system, provide
additional parking and a parking management program.
• Somerville, MA - Union Square. Through -oriented traffic,
including a heavy truck component, makes the street environment
less desirable in the heart of Somerville' s commercial area.
V/H design provides improvements compatible with urban growth
objectives .
• South Norwalk, CT - Master plan for revitalization of CBD and
major reuse of the waterfront area, including housing and
marine-related development and possible marine transportation.
• Springfield, MA - Working as part of an urban development team,
V/H developed a transportation plan to balance needs of buses,
truck loading zones, pedestrians and through/local vehicles
circulation and parking.
• Webster, lAK - Study objective was to revitalize a regional
downtown retail trade area, increasing accessibility, to make
it more competitive with suburban malls.
• VJeymouth, MA - Parking and circulation needs and capacities in
Central and Jackson Squares permitted increasing open space for
improved pedestrian access and landscaping.

Bus / Transit Related Projects
As is additionally indicated in the resumes of the V/H personnel,
the firm and its personnel have had extensive experience in the
operation, routing and scheduling of bus systems, and the traffic
engineering improvements (or TSM - Transportation System Management)
necessary to improve traffic flow.
A sampling of previous projects and brief descriptions are listed
below:
o Montachusetts Transit Development (TDP) Program, Massachusetts
- updating of routes, implementation of new service, schedule
improvements .
o Middletown, Connecticut - established transit development pro-
gram for Middletown (Midstate Planning Region) area, including
evaluation of routes and frequencies, fare structures and
operating management techniques.
o Department of Environmental Management, Massachusetts - devel-
oped transit access plan for inner city residents to reach
coastal recreational facilities, particularly on weekends.
o Dewey Square Boston - selected on team to redesign Dewey
Square to better accommodate intermodal and bus transfers, HOV
(high occupancy vehicles), priority signals (preemption) for
buses, access configuration, pedestrian patterns.
o Hospital Shuttle Bus Systems and M.I.T. Shuttle Bus System -
developed shuttle bus systems for St. Elizabeth's, Faulkner
and Mass. General Hospitals in Boston, and Winchester Hospital
to meet parking deficit requirements. MIT shuttle bus
operates between Wellesley College and MIT.
o Boston National Historic Park - developed transportation plan
for visitor access to historical sites within the National
Park System for U.S. Department of Interior, including parking
locations and use of MBTA rapid transit and bus stations and
routes.
o Gallagher Terminal, Lowell, Massachusetts and PATH Terminal,
Journal Square, Jersey City, New Jersey - on teams that
* designed these facilities which include transit transfers,
parking, bus routings and street capacities.
o Medford Square Transit Mall and Harvard Square, Cambridge, and
Union Square, Somerville, Massachusetts and Commerical Street,
Portland, Maine - urban designs, transit routing, bus stop
locations and street redesign in cooperation with transit
authorities to reduce conflicts and congestion, improve street
capacity. Commercial Street is the major thoroughfare along
the Portland, ME waterfront and piers.

According to history texts, Ameri-
can troops under the leadership of
George Washington camped along
the banks of the Assunpink Creek in
preparation for the Battles of Prince-
ton and Trenton and the Crossing
of the Delaware during the Revolu-
tionary War. This area was developed
as a public park by the City of Tren-
ton within the Mercer Jackson Urban
Renewal Area.
The Park forms the spine of the urban
renewal area for one quarter mile
of the Creek. It is comprised of nar-
row strips of land along both sides of
the Creek which include an amphi-
theater and walks along the Creek
edge.
In addition to the design of the Park,
the Partnership's work also included
design of improvements to the chan-
nel and banks of the Assunpink
Creek. Such improvements could
have potentially eaten up the whole
budget for the park and severely
reduced the Creek's value as an
amenity to the Park. However, the
Partnership investigated and recom-
mended the use of the Gabion system
of embankments which lends itself
to the Park's natural settmg while also

users of the Park. This arrangement
allows proper drainage of the prop-
erty behind the walls, much of which
is private, and still controls erosion

City in making improvements to
the Historic District as part
of Philadelphia's effort to
provide numerous visitor attrac-
tions, amenities and services
for the Bicentennial Celebration
of 1976.
Design and construction documents
were then prepared by The
Schnadelbach Organization for
centralized areas of services,
including improvements to Frank-
lin and Washington Squares, the
Fire Department Court at 4th
and Arch Streets, a small plaza
at 3rd and Arch Streets, the
U.S. Mint Court, Dock Street,

and temporary service components
and streetscape improvements in
selected areas throughout the
entire District. These included
such elements as street trees,
benches and tables, trash recep-
tacles, bus canopies, portable
drinking fountains, crosswalk
graphics, banners, temporary
toilet facilities, and wall murals
Throughout the planning, design
and construction process, time
was of the essence. Work began

South Cove Plaza
Boston, Massachusetts
In the midst of Boston's theater dis-
trict sits one of Boston's major public
open spaces, South Cove Plaza. The
Firm's design for this plaza is in-
tensely urban, reflecting the fact that
it is for the use of nearby residents,
theater-goers, workers in the area
and church groups.
South Cove Plaza provides a summer
refuge for city dwellers with sitting
areas under a canopy of trees and
an amphitheater for performances
by local theater groups. During the
winter, the design calls for ice skatmg
as a primary activity.
The Plaza is also a focus for formal
and mformal community activities.
Several gardens on the Plaza are
cared for by local garden clubs. A
new Church of all Nations is located
at one corner of the Plaza. In addi-
tion, open aieas of the Plaza were
designed to accommociale art shows
and other city talis.
Finally, the design related to bLJsi-
ness interests in the area. The new
Omonoia Restaurant has outdoor din-
ing on the Plaza, while th^ location
of a nev.' subway entrance will be
covered by a kiosk foi commiinity in-
foimation until such time as the new
station is built.
The project is being funded thiough
the Boston Redevelopment .-^ut^lotlly
by a S500.000 grant frofu the U 3.
Buieau of Outdooi Recreation.

RIVERFRONT PLAZA-
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA
Site plan, perspectives sketches, and sections.
A design for the Riverfront Plaza in Fort Lauderdale
was done as a competion in the Schnadelbach office.
A specific list of set program requirements was given
as a basis for the design project. One of the most
important requirements was that the plaza relate to
the New River and to the existing park on the river.
The program included the need for two commercial
buildings to house offices, shops, and a restaurants.
In the firms design two buildings were sited for these
uses. A large plaza/ ampitheater united the two with an
open space. A water feature strikingly divided the
space- 250 feet in lenght. This feature directed plaza
users through the site and pointed its axis to the New
River. Water jets and paving blocks were designed to
breakup the volume of water.

El iironmental Analysis
A1 'nfic City Master Plan
Atlantic City, New Jersey
i
The Partnership was retained to pre-
pare the environmental portions of the
Atlantic City Master Plan. As environ-
mental consultants we compiled a com-
prehensive inventory of the environ-
mental conditions surrounding the city,
and this inventory became the basis for
future land use and developmental
planning.
The environmental inventory included
an in-depth analysis of hydrologic, cli-
matologic, and geologic conditions in
Atlantic City. Wildlife, vegetation and
other ecological systems were studied,
and factors that could have an impact
on these systems were identified.
To perform this analysis, an exten-
sive data collection program was imple-
mented and relevant information was
gathered from local, county, state, and
federal agencies. The development
potential of each area within Atlantic
City and its surrounding wetlands was
then analyzed, and options were pre-
pared concerning the dispostion of key
land parcels.

Villa Vista Housing
Coney Island, New York
The New York State Urban Develop-
ment Corporation recently began a
policy of building "replication"— of
duplicating on City sites existing UDC
fiousing which has proved to meet
the needs of modest and low income
families. The Twin Parks Site 4 hous-
ing, being judged of exceptional ar-
chitectural and living quality, was
chosen for replication three-fold on
Coney Island.
The same thorough environmental
and open space analysis which pre-
cedes all site design here produced
a sweep of three buildings connected
by an open breezeway arcade and
promenade, with terraces. A grassy
interior commons permits informal
social activities; its peri meter is a sand
dune levee designed to protect the
site from storm flooding. Its form and
planting design seeks to re-establish
the sand dune ecology that once was
Coney Island.

New Orleans Central District Plan and
Implementation Program
City Planning Commission of New Orleans
New Orleans, Louisiana
The innovative planning and zoning
approaches developed in this project
by the firm (and since enacted into law)
will guide new development in the
central business district of New
Orleans. The plan places maximum
emphasis on incentives to encourage
developers to provide public ameni-
ties suited to pedestrian needs and
the New Orleans climate such as ar-
cades, galleries, minipari<s and ele-
ments of an upper-level pedestrian
circulation system. An extensive
pedestrian system has also been
planned for an area along the
f^ississippi riverfront.
The New Orleans central business
district includes areas of unique his-
toric and architectural interest which
are protected by the plan's special
controls on building heights and street
facade alignment. Provisions of the
plan support and encourage the pres-
ervation and rehabilitation of land-
mark buildings by allowing transfer of
development rights from landmari<
sites to development parcels. The latter
device can be effectively used in com-
bination with the new special tax dis-
trict's program of facade easement
purchase.

regulations allow for growth in selec-
ted locations while retaining a compact
form, enabling the business district to
be well served by public transit and to
retain its thriving retail center. Policies
for space-efficient parking proved
important in guiding central business

JASON M.CORTELL
AND ASSOCIATES INC.
THE FIRM
JASON M. CORTELL and ASSOCIATES INC. was founded in 1963 as a con-
sulting firm specializing in aquatic biology and water quality. The firm has since
evolved into a multidisciplinary environmental consulting organization dealing
with a broad range of issues.
The firm's reputation has been built on the sound application of ecological criteria
in the evaluation of the planning, design, and construction phases of all types of
development projects. These include transportation, navigation, energy, recrea-
tion, industrial and commercial development.
JMCA has undertaken and successfully completed a variety of projects for both
governmental agencies and private interests throughout the United States and
abroad. While in most cases the firm works directly for the client, it also collab-
orates with the nation's leading architectural and engineering firms as part of a
team effort. In recent years, the scope of JMCA's work has expanded to include
a wider diversity of clients and projects.
For public sector clients, JMCA has assisted federal and state agencies with NEPA-
related environmental assessments and analyses. For private clients, the firm offers
environmental consulting and planning services to support development of new
facilities. JMCA studies and reports provide a substantive information base to
aid permit-issuing agencies in evaluation of environmental issues which pertain to
a particular application or approval request.
As a result of the exceptionally wide array of disciplines and skills of in-house
personnel, JMCA is able to staff most projects wholly from its own resources, to
develop an ecological/environmental approach that accurately matches the
dimensions and scope of the assigned problem, and to provide those services
within a time frame that meets demanding schedules. Specific talents are assigned
to a given project on an as-needed basis, with continuing project coordination and
direction assigned to one professional. Projects are reviewed by an interdisciplinary
committee of senior staff members, thereby providing the client with a broad
range of experience and expertise in the most cost-effective manner.
JMCA offers extensive field services in connection with its laboratory facility in
Waltham, including air quality monitoring, noise monitoring, and water quality
analysis. Each monitoring effort relies on techniques, instrumentation, and quality
assurance programs that meet or surpass Federal and state requirements.
JMCA also maintains a Quality Assurance Program to ensure that its clients
receive analyses and recommendations based on the most current information.
To implement this program, staff members spend a portion of each month in
professional development, including reviews of recent publications in their
particular field of specialization. This research keeps JMCA abreast of the latest
developments in environmental science and technology and the evolution of
environmental law.

Permits,
Approvals,
Licenses &
Certifications
The JMCA staff is highly skilled and experienced in the regulatory processes which
govern site development. A connprehensive and fast track approach has been devel-
oped to facilitate all review procedures including local, county, State, and Federal
approvals. JMCA has the expertise to focus data gathering, provide agency liaison,
present technical information at public and agency review proceedings, and assure
the timely granting of required permits and approvals.
Regulatory
Requirements
Source Book
Early identification, inventory, and analysis of the regulatory requirements to which
a specific proiect is subject are essential. JMCA's review of applicable regulations
results in a Regulatory Requirements Source Book which compiles all permit proce-
dures, data requirements, and review periods. The document, which is produced
m a looseleaf notebook format, facilitates planning and data gathering efforts and
targets early work to final requirements, precluding redundant efforts and incom-
plete submissions. The Regulatory Requirements Source Book is updated periodi-
cally, thereby providing each member of the development team with ready access
to the most current requirements to which the project will be sub|ect.
Record of
Permits and
Approvals
As a project progresses from the initial approval stage to construction, the Source
Book IS incorporated into a Record of Permits and Approvals document. This serves
as the master reference document for all members of the project team, compiling
permit applications as they are submitted, tabulating the status of all regulatory
requirements, and charting the permitting process for the project. The document
IS updated on a regular basis as project design is finalized or as regulatory require-
ments are modified. With many former Federal programs in the process of being
taken over at the State level, it is particularly important to have all requirements
tabulated in such a manner. To that end, JMCA computerizes its permit tracking to
facilitate regular updates, to allow clear delineation of any modification to require-
ments, and how this affects other contingent requirements or schedules. The
goal of the JMCA approach is to obtain all components of project approval free
of unnecessary delays.

Environmental
Impact
Statements
The successful completion of an Environmental Impact Statement requires
thorough understanding of the procedural steps, expertise to generate appropriate
and accurate data, and ability to work effectively with reviewing agencies. When
NEPA became law in 1970, there were no methodologies for systematic environ-
mental assessment. Experience in the preparation of Environmental Impact
Statements provides the most relevant understanding of existing legislation and
the ability to translate problem-solving techniques into specific actions. With
increased public participation in the decision-making process throughout the
1970's, JMCA refined its public information and awareness programs to facilitate
the review aspects of the Impact Statement process. Each program is tailored to
the scope and size of the project, the nature and sophistication of the community,
and the environmental sensitivity of the project site.
JMCA may either assume overall responsibility for preparation of the EIS or
participate in the process by providing specific technical data. The breadth and
depth of JMCA's in-house staff enables the firm to prepare an EIS in a cohesive
and efficient manner or to call on particular members of the staff to make specific
technical contributions to Statements being prepared by others. The firm has
been responsible for EIS preparation for the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, the
Boston Area Office of HUD, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the New Jersey
Department of Transportation, the Massachusetts Division of Land and Water Use,
as well as numerous clients in the private sector. Additionally, JMCA has partici-
pated in the preparation of EiSs for the Massachusetts Department of Public
Works, the New York Department of Transportation, the Maine State Highway
Department, and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
Environmental
Assessments
As part of the federal environmental decision-making process, several agencies
have initiated the Environmental Assessment procedure. Closely related to the
Environmental Impact Statement, technical data is provided and the same range
of concerns are addressed but the document is intended for use within an agency
rather than being circulated for public review. JMCA's ability to create inter-
disciplinary teams from its in-house staff enables the firm to adapt its expertise
to the particular project to match the client's needs. The company's diverse
experience has made it responsive to the scope and data requirements of such
Assessments, and adaptable to the production of a report which serves a variety
of subjects and goals. In practice, an assessment of the existing environment may
include any or all of the following disciplines: air quality, water quality and sup-
ply, hydrology, geology, soils, topography, vegetation, wildlife, ecology, demo-
graphy, history, archaeology, and land use.

Marine
Biology
JMCA has, through considerable experience, developed the ability to work effec-
tively in marine environments. Company-owned survey craft allow JMCA resource
scientists to obtain biological samples as well as physical and chemical data from
marine areas for studies related to the construction of various types of onshore
and offshore facilities. Analytical techniques include the utilization of a series of
advanced computer programs for marine benthic samples as indicators of ambient
and long term water quality. These capabilities have been demonstrated in JMCA's
marine dredging and disposal site analyses; port facilities siting and environmental
assessments, estuarine monitoring programs included in environmental impact
studies for harbor construction; ocean outfall/effluent discharge permit studies;
and the development of area guideline manuals to be used in conjunction with
marine construction.
Freshwater
Ecology
JMCA provides professional interpretation of the complex aquatic environment
and community interrelationships. This expertise stems from the firm's experience
in literature research as well as field and laboratory studies of plankton, periphyton,
macrophyton, macroinvertebrates, and fisheries community analysis. A wide variety
of field monitoring equipment is used to ascertain long term and seasonal variations
in the freshwater environment. The habitats and life-cycle requirements of the
different organisms are ascertained and utilized to predict impacts or anticipated
changes resulting from a project. JMCA offers expertise in determining food chains,
studies of trophic levels (mass balance nutrient budget studies), and transfer of
energy throughout the aquatic ecosystem.
Terrestrial
Ecology
JMCA offers expertise in plant ecology and wildlife biology. Experience ranges
from regional surveys and identification of vegetative community types by aerial
photographic interpretation to detailed analyses of specific communities and
habitats. Through field surveys supplemented with professional evaluation, JMCA
is able to assess the significance of communities and habitats, whether of scientific,
economic, recreational, or aesthetic interest. Community stability and sensitivity to
impact may predict the response of either a plant or animal community to potential
environmental changes. This evaluation of a variety of resources, whether a wetland
or the habitat of an endangered species, is within the scope of JMCA's services and
has formed the basis for land use decision making by both private developers and
public regulatory agencies. JMCA has developed resource management plans to
enhance the value of a parcel for a desired use. The firm also offers expertise in the
design of mitigative plans, including the creation of replacement communities or
habitats, as compensation for an area affected by a project.
JASON M.CORTELL
AND ASSOCIATES INC.
LABORATORY AND ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT
JASON M, CORTELL and ASSOCIATES INC. provides extensive services to
clients in field monitoring, and laboratory analyses. Each monitoring effort relies
on instrumentation, techniques, and quality assurance programs that meet or
exceed Federal and state requirements.
Water Quality
Laboratory
The JMCA Water Quality Laboratory provides complete analyses to support a
wide variety of project types. Studies include both marine and fresh water,
potable water supplies, storm water, industrial and wastewater treatment plant
effluents, and soils. Each item of laboratory equipment is maintained and cali-
brated according to manufacturer specifications or Federal and State Quality
Assurance Guidelines, whichever is more stringent. Additionally, all samples are
subject to strict chain of custody procedures from the moment of sampling until
final disposition. Approximately 10 percent of all samples passing through the
laboratory are blind quality assurance samples of known composition or relabled
duplicates of regular samples. Both the accuracy and precision of the instruments,
techniques, and laboratory personnel are thus continuously monitored.
Field
Monitoring
JMCA offers field monitoring services for selected water quality parameters
using a self-contained water quality measuring device. Surface water quality is
determined through a variety of parameters such as hydrogen ion concentration,
temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, chloride concentrations,
and others. Through the field monitoring program, compliance with Federal
and State Water Quality Standards may be determined.
Analytical
Techniques
Because of frequent involvement in Environmental Impact Statement studies,
JMCA maintains a full library of computer programs for data reduction and
analysis, air quality and noise models, water resource models, and job control.
In addition, JMCA offers custom model development and software for special
applications in environmental data processing and modeling. All computer work
utilizes the ADP network of DEC-10 computers. In-house terminals and inter-
active software make efficient use of this resource on a daily basis.
Noise
Monitoring
Ambient noise monitoring is a significant component of JMCA'sstudieson diverse
projects, from major transportation studies to the siting of cooling towers. These
include a Bruel and Kjaer Model 166 Environmental Noise Classifier (for deter-
mining compliance with OSHA, HUD, FHWA, State, and local noise exposure
regulations) and a Model No. 1945 Gen Rad Community Noise Classifier, which
provides state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities and automatic L^jp calculations.
Both devices meet ANSI Type 2 Sound Level Meter Specifications and provide
data acceptable to all regulatory agencies. In addition, special equipment is
available for vibration assessment, octave band analysis, and precision tape re-
cording of noise signals. This provides flexioility m noise monitoring capabilities
sufficient to meet any monitoring requirement.
Air Quality
Monitoring
JMCA provides full ambient air quality monitoring to support environmental
impact statements and special purpose studies. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the
focus of the monitoring capability because of traffic-related air quality standards
which have been set by both federal and state agencies. CO also forms the basis
for most studies of local air quality effects. In order to interpret carbon monox-
ide monitoring data accurately, JMCA maintains a concurrent full range of
meteorological monitoring services. All devices, maintenance procedures, and
quality assurance programs conform with Federal Environmental Protection
Agency Guidelines.
In-house carbon monoxide equipment consists of the Beckman Model 866 Non-
Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) CO Monitors equipped with Auto Span Modules
and Houston Instruments Omniscribe Recorders. These are Federal Reference
Method devices for ambient carbon monoxide monitoring. Meteorological data
are gathered with a Climatronics Windmark III Wind Speed and Direction Monitor
and a Climatronics Electronic Weather Station. The Weather Station measures and
records wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation, temperature, relative humidity,
and precipitation. Both Climatronics devices have integral recorders and are
suitable for both regional and micrometeorological measurements.
In addition to capabilities in CO and meteorological monitoring, JMCA also
monitors nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, and particulate levels.
JMCA field personnel install, maintain, and service the instruments to ensure a
uniform level of quality. JMCA offers clients a full range of monitoring services
which are tailored to each specific job.

ment in 1981 Dunng the last twenty-four years, ERA has experienced significant

Public Agencies
During the past decade, thie nation's percep-
tion of its domestic priorities has shifted dra-
matically The focus of the seventies on the
social and physical problems of the cities has
been broadened to include the quality of the
environment, the availability of energy, the
consequences of continued physical and eco-
nomic growth in an era of financial limitations
and the impact of inflation.
Government at all levels has been forced to
take a new look at the services it provides, their
impact and cost effectiveness and the need to
develop alternative revenue sources. More than
ever before, government officials must
approach these decisions with a full under-
standing of the economic consequences of
alternatives

purpose corporations. ERA provides the tech-
nical analysis necessary to enable clients to

dred units of low-cost housing, an irreplaceable
resource for that city's low-income minority
population
With the passage of property tax limitation
measures in several states, which reduced the
effectiveness of tax increment financing of re-
development projects, ERA is assisting many
communities with the formation of local im-

of studies for the Boston Redevelopment Au-
thority, ERA evaluated the economic impact of
the Boston Naval Shipyard and the Copley
Place Redevelopment Project, The State of
California retained ERA to examine the eco-

City of St Louis, ERA analyzed the eco-
nomic/fiscal impacts of a historic preservation
on the city's central business district ERA also
evaluated the economic effects expected from
adoption of the proposed California Coastal
Zone Plan for the Joint Rules Committee of the
California Legislature. Other recent economic
impact studies include the impact of gaming
for Atlantic City, New Jersey, a cost/revenue
model to evaluate suburban growth for the
Denver Regional Council of Governments, and
in Southern California, ERA has recently ex-
amined the fiscal implications of creating two
new counties
In response to changing demographics and
use patterns, cities, school districts and others
have turned to ERA to assist in the analysis of
surplus lands. The studies have included deter-
mining the highest and best use as well as dis-
position or development strategy,

and fiscal impact of; a proposed relocation of
a major division of Mobil Oil to Fairfax County,
Virginia: the peripheral commercial develop-
ment around Anaheim Stadium: the construc-
tion of mining and energy development com-
munities in the Rocky Mountains and Canada:

Animal/People Environments
Animal/People Environments
Animal/People Environments (APE) is a divi-
sion of ERA which provides a wide range of
services to zoos, aquariums, oceanariums and
wildlife parks refuges
The key motivating force behind APE is the
commitment to the preservation of both animal
and people environments in their most optimum

• Zoos should be designed and operated to
optimize their educational, environmental,

• A primary commitment must be made to
ecological survival in general, and animal
survival in particular
• Zoos are vital elements in the conservation
effort. As such, zoos must win their own bat-
tle for survival
• Economic and financial viability is the key
operational objective
• Each zoo can reach its potential only if it rec-
ognizes its unique role and acts on it
• Proper design and maintenance of living col-
lections are imperative to zoo survival
A comprehensive scope of professional ser-
vices offered through APE include:
• Administrative and operational audits
• Marketing and creative services
• Physical planning and design
• Collection design and maintenance

THE fTlDDEL
THE CHANGING STATE OF REAL ESTATE
DEVELOPMENT
In today's rapidly changing economic environment, it is
becoming more and more apparent that successful real estate
planning, development, and management require access to
the best decision-making tools. Inflation, fluctuating interest
rates, land use controls, rapidly escalating development costs
and the complexity of forecasting realistic financial pro formas
all contribute to the difficult task of meeting land development
objectives. The successful developer/investor can best attain
project objectives through the combined technical
resources of experienced real estate professionals and ad-
vanced computer technology.
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT MODEL (LDM)
The Land Development Model, developed by Project
Economics Inc. and generally referred to as the LDM, vi/as
designed to enable a wide variety of clients to comprehensively
assess their various real estate projects in a cost-effective and
timely manner.
The LDM is set up primarily for economic, financial and
planning analysis of single and multi-use real estate
development projects involving both marketable and income
producing properties. The basic function of the LDM is to assist
ERA real estate specialists and other project team members
in evaluating the probable levels of profit for each land use
element within a limitless number of development senarios. To
optimize the potential land use profits, the LDM breaks down
project input into three basic components: marketable land
uses; operational land uses; and overhead land uses.
Typically, the model is used to analyze and produce computer-
ized reports on the following types of existing and/or
proposed projects:
• new towns • mixed use developments
• planned communities • recreational land developments
• residential and retirement communities • industrial parks
• office buildings • apartment complexes
• shopping centers • resort and hotel developments
• recreational land developments
BENEFITS OF USING LDM
Use of the LDM provides a number of project specific
benefits when compared with other computer models and more
conventional manual approaches. These benefits include:
Incorporates Data From Each Project Team Member
Throughout the years, hundreds of clients have benefited
from the ability of the LDM to provide the data necessary
to produce an optimal development plan. The LDM
model has also been designed to incorporate key development
information from each member of the project team - owner/
developer, planner, engineer, economist, investor, marketer,
financial analyst and real estate consultant - into a
comprehensive land use plan which statistifies all of the
requirements of the various disciplines.
Provides Comparative Analysis For Each Land
Use Component
Comprehensive profitability and cash flow analysis are
provided for each land use element for each designated group
of land use elements, as well as a summary analysis for the entire
project. With this unique capability, the project team can
evaluate and refine the land use plan by element to arrive at a
final land use plan which maximizes the overall project
development potential.
Fast Answers
The LDM operates in a computer finishing environment
where results of an analysis are available within minutes. This
unique feature enables clients to receive immediate answers to
often complex questions. In addition, ERA's real estate specialists
are located in key regional offices throughout the country . . . within
easy reach by telephone, telex or other telecommunications
vehicles.
Easy To Use And Understand
Knowledge and experience with computers are not
required to effectively use or understand the LDM. After a brief
orientation, project team members and their support staffs
discover the ease in preparing input data and the straight-
forward approach used to present each analysis.
Customized Reports
The LDM is structured such that the model can be adapted
or modified to handle an unconventional treatment of taxes,
special types of financing, or other costs or revenue calculations.
The model is designed to respond to each land use analysis
in a specific rather than general manner.
Capability To Conduct Fiscal Impact Analyses
Analysis of a project's fiscal and environmental impact is
an increasingly important concern to developers and community
leaders. Computer models developed for fiscal impact analysis
require much of the same input as are used in the financial
analysis of the project. Recognizing this, the LDM is structured to
prepare a fiscal impact analysis with only a marginal amount of
input. Furthermore, once the base model is created, any
modifications to the land development analysis will
automatically render corresponding data on the fiscal impact of
that modification.
ACCESS TO THE LDM
The Land Development Model runs on the nationwide
Information Systems Design (ISD) data processing network
using the TYMNET wortdwide communications system. ISD's
processing services provide the economy of large-scale
computer technology to customers linked by remote terminals
to TYMNETS wortdwide computer network.
Users can utilize the models through low-speed or high-
speed terminals located in their offices, or alternatively, ERA can
run the model at its own facilities with input supplied by the
client. Output can be directed to the user's low-speed or high-
speed terminal, or the high-speed printer at an ISD office. A
unique feature of this model enables the use of any input-output
combination. For example, data could be input at a low-speed
office terminal in Denver, processed at ISD's Santa Clara
Computer Center, and output printed at a high-speed printer
located in ERA'S Los Angeles office.

THE ECONOMIC IMPACT MODEL (EIM)
The Economic Impact Model (EIM) provides analysis
for the economic impact of existing or proposed land develop-
ments and land based activities upon jobs, housing and other
specific local, regional or statewide economic sectors. The EIM
can project impact assessments for any period of the proposed
development; from the construction through the completion and
operational phases. One unique feature of the EIM is its ability to
assess direct economic impacts for a specific geographic
location.

THE RETAIL MODEL (RM)
ERA has developed a Retail Model (RM) which serves as a
financial planning tool for retailers by providing specific sales
analyses and projections for proposed retail developments.
Based on a user-defined trade area, geographic, and
demographic statistics, the RM can estimate sales for one or a
variety of establishments. The RM's most significant attribute is
Its ability to provide sales estimates based on establishments,
rather than on type of goods although many of the clients who
have used the RM include shopping center developers and
retail merchants. The RM model has been used extensively by
public agencies for a variety of business district revitalization
proiects.

meet acceptable noise and vibration criteria, and offer
engineering supervision to ensure that recommended
control measures are properly carried out and that
specified criteria are satisfied
An example of our comprehensive noise control
capabilities is a recent contract with the U S Bureau of
Mines BBN developed and demonstrated retrofit noise
control treatments that significantly reduce the noise
exposure of bulldozer operators engaged in surface
mining These treatments were specifically designed to
be readily constructed and installed in the field at low
cost. To transfer this technology to the mining com-
munity, BBN conducted a series of seminars and
workshops in 50 cities around the country
Manufacturers rely on BBN's noise control expertise
in the design of guieter products and eguipment Our
services have been used, with excellent results, to
reduce noise from trucks, heavy machinery, and
consumer household items

Consulting Services in
Community Noise
The measurement, assessment, and
control of noise in communities calls
for a variety of acoustical skills and
experience. BBN combines all the
necessary technical disciplines to
assist industry and communities with
the following activities:
Measurement of Noise
From brief field measurements of the
sound level at a single position to large
community surveys encompassing
measurements at many positions for
extended periods, BBN provides a total
capability. Our services include data
acquisition, processing, and interpreta-
tion. BBN maintains instrumentation
suitable for both routine and special
noise measurements.
Assessment of Noise
As a vital first step in planning effective
noise reduction, BBN evaluates noise
and assesses its impact on people and
community activities.
Prediction of Noise
BBN has been responsible for the
development and verification of many
of the engineering techniques now
widely used to predict noise, both for
current and projected community condi-
tions. Drawing upon our expertise in
computer programming, we have created
computer programs that provide a ver-
satile and accurate tool for predicting
noise from traffic, aircraft, and indus-
trial plants. In addition to providing
routine noise prediction services, we
can develop new predictive methods for
special or unusual situations.
Development of Noise Codes
and Ordinances
BBN works with state, local, and
Federal agencies to plan, write, and
implement practical noise ordinances.
Planning steps may involve the develop-
ment of noise requirements for zoning
ordinances, noise insulation require-
ments for building codes, or other regu-
lations for specialized Industrial zones.
Industry Representation
BBN acts on behalf of industrial and
commercial clients in responding to
requirements of local governments and
national regulatory authorities. In par-
ticular, we prepare responses to obtain
permits for new construction or expan-
sion or modification of existing facilities.
Noise control ot power plants helps them to be good neighbors with the communities they serve
When noise problems arise, BBN acts
on behalf of companies in negotiations
with local authorities and community
organizations. We obtain realistic settle-
ments of community noise problems
that take into account cost-effective
state-of-the-art engineering controls and
human response to annoying conditions.
Noise Control Design
To help managers reduce noise from
their facilities and to avoid community
noise complaints, BBN designs and
specifies effective noise control hard-
ware. BBN's noise control experience
includes work for managers of manu-
facturing facilities, power plants, refin-
eries, testing facilities, construction
sites, airports, mines, waste treatment
plants, and engineering and architec-
tural firms, as well as numerous govern-
ment agencies.
Noise Monitoring Instrumentation
and Data Processing
For short- or long-term noise monitoring,
BBN provides instrumentation recom-
mendations and develops detailed mea-
surement procedures. We also develop
noise monitoring systems for airports
or special industrial facilities. BBN's
experience includes measurement and
data analysis, instrumentation design,
and fabrication.
Training
To train people in the assessment and
control of noise, BBN prepares and
presents special courses, develops
simplified handbooks, and provides
engineering training aids.

than 20 years.
REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
Chicago Urban Noise Study
For this three-part study, which led to
the 1971 Chicago Comprehensive Noise
Ordinance, BBN reviewed the need for
noise abatement, recommended the
language of the ordinance as well as
test and measurement procedures, and
summarized the available technology
for the control of the major urban noise
sources. A brief statement prepared by
BBN presented the recommendations
for action to implement an effective
urban noise control program.
The ordinance sections have been
widely copied by other cities and
states.
Noise Measurements in Communities
of Widely Varying Population Density
For the Environmental Protection
Agency, BBN undertook 24-hour mea-
surements of the outdoor noise environ-
ment at 100 sites in 14 urban areas
scattered throughout the United States.
Acoustic data were correlated with
population density to develop a model
for estimating community noise as a
function of population density. This
noise model, together with information
*>^^-
^v^^
eaasf^
For nearly two decaaes. b8N has worked with
state agencies to develop motor vehicle noise
regulations, for even longer, we have predicted
community noise exposure from highways
concerning the exposure near freeways
and airports, was used to establish
percentages of the U.S. population
exposed to differing levels of outdoor
noise. Portable noise monitoring units,
developed by BBN, were used through-
out the measurement program.
Plant Noise Abatement
For an electric generating station, BBN
evaluated the source of community
noise complaints, specified the noise
control hardware, and assisted in its
procurement. BBN assisted the station
owner during meetings with the com-
munity and local regulatory agencies,
and after installation of the hardware,
we evaluated its performance.
Preparation of Noise Element
for the North Los Angeles County
General Plan
For the county of Los Angeles, BBN
determined the current noise environ-
ment and evaluated changes in the
future noise environment for various
planning alternatives for the North Los
Angeles County area. These alternatives
included the development of a new
major international airport. Noise goals
and policies, as well as recommended
land use policies, were developed as
part of the Noise Element by California
State Regulations.
Analysis of Community Noise
and a Plan for Noise Control
for the City of Boston
For the city of Boston, BBN estimated
representative noise levels in the city,
identified and characterized the impor-
tant noise sources, and established
criteria for judging community noise
standards. We summarized appropriate
methods of noise control, compared
different approaches for reducing noise,
and made recommendations for an
initial regulatory program.
The recommendations included (1) zoning
restrictions on land use noise emis-
sions; (2) restrictions of construction-
site noise emissions; (3) development
of noise standards acceptable to new
vehicles and new powered outdoor
equipment for sale or lease.
Noise Pollution Legislation Study
For the Maryland Department of Trans-
portation, BBN identified both legisla-
tive and administrative actions to
combat the problems of transportation
noise. The project culminated in the
passage of the Maryland Environmental
Noise Act of 1974, which establishes
mechanisms for principal departments
to regulate and control environmental
noise in coordination with Federal
activities and programs. BBN's support
to the state agencies included the
development of both airport noise regu-
lations and motor vehicle noise regula-
tions.

T/ie benefits
of inventive
and effective
management...
Perini management has pioneered
in the construction, mining and
real estate industries, providing so-
lutions and performance beyond
contract obligations.
Innovative techniques, rigid cost
controls, definitive scheduling and
a productive, competitive work
force are the extra benefits Perini
brings to every project.
Perini Philosophy
The success of Perini Corporation, since its
beginning as a small civil works contractor in
1900, is largely due to a studied management
approach to the supervision and direction of
each project, large or small. Even in the early
years, job conditions and problems were
carefully analyzed and the management
organization was structured to meet contract
commitments and produce a quality project.
A skilled and productive work force, coupled
with a spirit of inventiveness, has enabled
Perini to complete some of the world's most
difficult and sophisticated projects Many of
these projects required Perini personnel to
pioneer new technologies that were later
adopted as standards for the construction
industry
Perim's management approach and inventive
spirit IS more effective today than ever,
supported by an enlarged staff of managers,
engineers, planners and schedulers who now
use computerized systems to control costs
and schedules.
Much of Perim's strength lies in the
experience of this staff, many of whom have
been with the company 20 to 30 years
or more. Throughout the organization,
employees are accustomed to working
closely and cooperatively with architects,
engineers and owners to achieve the best
project value, consistent with sound
engineering practices and budget guidelines

Perini Today
Steady and consistent growth has produced
an experienced organization with personnel
and financial capacity to service public and
private owners' construction, mining and real
estate needs on a worldwide basis
Perini operations include;
Building
Industrial
Transportation
Power
Environmental
Pipeline
Marine
Tunnel
Mining
Real Estate
Perim's organization and management
structure calls for autonomous divisions and
subsidiaries to specialize in each of these
operations Inter-divisional ventures and
corporate staff capability provide back-up
strength and expertise to support a total
proiect concept
Not many years ago a contractor's principal
problem was putting the work in place in the
face of weather and temperature extremes,
suspect geology uncertain equipment
efficiency and variable labor productivity
These problems are magnified in the current
economy where wage rates, material and
equipment costs escalate almost monthly The
scope, complexity and cost of today's projects
demand additional services designed to
maximize the owners' value, while
compressing the programming, planning,
engineering and construction tasks into the
shortest possible time.
Perini services include
Feasibility Studies
Value Analysis
Construction Cost Budgeting
Procurement
Cost Control
Schedule Control
Construction
Construction Management
Contract Mining
Real Estate Strategic Planning
Real Estate Development & Management
An experienced effective management group,
a spirited productive work force and a long
history of successful projects guarantee
Perim's clients the best possible solutions to
their construction, mining and real estate needs.
The following pages include representative
photographs and a partial listing of
significant projects performed by Perini
divisions and subsidiaries. Your inquiry for
additional information on any particular
operation or service is encouraged.
Perini Building
Office
Perini buildings vary in size from snnall
structures to large skyscrapers. Located
ttiroughout the world ttiey cover a diversity of
uses. -Office, Health), Educational,
Commercial, Residential and Special Works
Small or large, eacfi building is constructed
witfi Perim's studied management approachi.
Cost evaluations begin early in tfie
programming or planning stages and
continue throughout the design development,
construction documents and construction
stages-
Owners are becoming increasingly aware
that lowest first costs are not the sole
determinant of a successful project,
especially in these days of spiraling energy
and operating charges. Perini offers value
analysis as a better method of deciding
where an owner's funds can best be utilized.
The Boston Federal Reserve Bank required
an extra measure of ingenuity Built in the
congested waterfront area of Boston, site
excavation encountered hundreds of old
timber piles that had to be removed while
maintaining the water level at +5 mean sea
level through extraction and recharging
procedures, in order to preserve timber
pilings supporting adjacent structures. A
grouted, lagged tie-wall was devised to open
the site for footing installation at -15 to -25
mean sea level. The total proiect contained
44,000 c yof concrete and 18,000 tons of
structural steel.

Health
In the health services field, the building is an
envelope tor the housing of equipment,
systems and personnel— all designed to
provide an efficient, pleasant environment for
the delivery of the best in patient care
Changes in medical technology are rapid.
On large projects, technology changes
during a protracted traditional design and
construction period have often made new
facilities obsolete at opening.
To provide the most flexible facilities
consistent with program and budget
guidelines and compress the design and
construction process into the shortest
possible time, Perini provides construction
management, fast track, phased construction
as well as general construction services to
hospitals, health maintenance organizations,
nursing and extended care clients

Perini Building
Commercial
Commercial projects demand the most
stringent cost controls during design and
construction. Their function is to present an
attractive environment for the display and
selling of merchandise while keeping real
estate charges in line with operating
projections. Although large projects can be
monumental in form, the function of a
commercial facility must remain the first
concern of both designer and contractor.
Perini builds for retailers and developers,
offering feasibility studies and construction
cost budgeting services early in the planning
and design stages in order to minimize
unknowns and assure the owner of the
maximum return on his investment.

Perini Industrial
Industrial proiects require the marriage of
building and structure to process and pro-
duction with a careful precision This preci-
sion has been developed by Perini divisions
and subsidiaries through years of construc-
tion experience on all types and sizes of
manufacturing facilities, technical centers,
process plants and mills.
Perini's Yeargin subsidiary is a "total service"
contractor, performing mechanical, electri-
cal, equipment installation and plant mainte-
nance work with its own forces in addition to
the normal general construction tasks
"Total service'means a more efficient man-
agement organization, better control over the
major elements of the project and eliminates
duplication of fees, equipment and supervi-
sory personnel that exist when major portions
of the work are subcontracted
A broad range of services can be tailored to
meet the industrial client's program and con-
tract requirements Formats can be engineer/
construct, turnkey general construction or
contract maintenance and terms can be cost
plus, lump sum or any other feasible approach
that meets the proiect's special needs.

Perini Industrial
Manufacturing
Once the need has been determined for
new or expanded manufacturing facilities,
capital IS committed and industry looks
for the Shortest possible time frame for
completion of the engineering /construction
process. Bringing the contractor on board
during the initial planning and design phase
allows the industry to "fast track" the project
by proceeding with procurement of long
lead Items and starting site, foundation and
structural framing construction while
engineering and documentation are being
completed on mechanical, electrical and
finish Items.
Perim's Yeargin subsidiary put in place a
1,600,000 square foot steel belted radial
tire manufacturing plant in Wilson, North
Carolina for Firestone Tire & Rubber
Company in 8Vz months from ground
breaking until the first tire was produced.
This project required a maximum effort on
the part of the Yeargin management team,
with strong emphasis on procurement
procedures, schedule control and cost
reporting

and assembled at Perini built highi technology
facilities. Some projects require sophisticated
temperature and humidity controls, clean
rooms as well as complex piping, ventilation
and waste systems for exotic metals and

Perini Transportaiion
Mass Transit
Transportation projects have been a ma|or
line of business for Perini since tfie
company's founding Works fiave pro-
gressed from single lane gravel roads
graded witfi mule teams to thie completion of
ttie iviassactiusetts Turnpike Extension in 1965,
ttie largest single highway construction
contract ever awarded in the United
States
Innovative development and use of construc-
tion equipment, record setting production
rates and accelerated completions are the
trademarks of Perini transportation projects
Activities now include urban mass transit
stations and lines, airport terminals, runways
and support facilities as well as highway
grading, paving and structures.
As energy costs continue to hamper our
freedom to move materials and people on
our urban highway systems, the need for
efficient, safe, rapid mass transit facilities
will be high priority in all major metropolitan
areas during the coming years
In 1976 Perini was awarded the Federal
Highway Administration, Department of
Transportation's "Eighth Annual Award —
The Highway and Its Environment" for an
elevated portion of Interstate 93 which
incorporates a rapid transit line and station
at grade level The award stated that the
project was "An outstanding example of
mass transportation within or adjacent to
the highway right-of-way."

Highways
From Penni's beginning, road, street and
highway work have been a basic elennent of
the company's overall operations— growing
over the years
Excavation, grading, aggregate production,
paving and structures are all part of Penni's
highway services for municipal, state and
federal governments,
Perini crews blast rock, move dirt, crush
stone and lay concrete with a fleet of the
latest and most efficient equipment available
to the construction industry These same tal-
ents are now being applied to the substantial
earthmoving and site development require-
ments of the power and oil shale industries.

Perini Power
Hydroelectric
Power projects require the iriteraction of many
construction disciplines— earth moving,
aggregate production, sophisticated forming,
mass concrete pours, tunneling and rigging
for equipment placement, Perini divisions and
subsidiaries often combine forces to perform
these tasks on an integrated total project
basis.
Perini power experience ranges from an earth
fill hydroelectric dam in Colombia, a concrete
arch dam in California, a pumped storage
facility in New York, a twin 1150 MW nuclear
plant in New Hampshire to the nation's
pioneering privately owned and operated low
head twin 15 MW bulb turbine hydroelectric
Yuba River Development
Yuba River, California
project at the Great Stone Dam in Lawrence,

In addition to primary power production proj-
ects, Perim's Yeargin subsidiary provides spe-
cialty construction and contract maintenance
services to the power industry Yeargin installs
electrostatic precipitators, deaerators, evapo-
rators and is fully familiar with the procedures
for work in radioactive contaminated areas.

Perini Environmental
Dams
Although cleaning the environment is a
ma|or concern, controlling the environment
IS equally important Perini has constructed
earth fill flood control dams, locks and irriga-
tion projects to harness, divert and better uti-
lize nature's gifts for man's well being.
Perini ingenuity was put to the test at the
Bloomington Lake Dam site in the upper
Potomac River Valley along the Maryland-
West Virginia border The problem— hauling
10 million cubic yards of embankment from a
mountain top quarry to the dam site 450
vertical feet below The solution — a 2400
foot long conveyor employing a 54 inch
wide rubber belt dropping to a 1000 ton
storage bin 50 and 70 ton trucks then carried
the material to the dam site. The conveyor
eliminated one and a half miles of steeply
graded high maintenance haul road as well
as additional trucks The completed dam is
296 feet high with a 2310 foot crest length
impounding 43 billion gallons of water.

Per'mi Pipeline
Petroleum/Gas
Pipeline proiects are equipment intense and
production oriented. Ttie work flow is lineal,
with relatively few items but significant quan-
tities Work units require precise quanti-
fication and cost analysis to maintain target
estimates and schedules.
While pipeline work is installed in an orderly
run, once right of way preparation has been
completed, the mobilization and logistics of
remote sites often require a labor force with
a pioneering spirit and a management team
experienced in campsite conditions
Perims 73% owned subsidian/, Majestic Wiley
Contractors Limited, has constructed oil and
gas projects in the Arctic north of Alaska and
the Northwest Territones under the severest
weather and soil conditions, in the mountains
and valleys of untracked forests in British
Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
and Ontario and in the tea plantations of India,
Majestic Wiley's U S Pipeline Division, head-
quartered in Lubbock, Texas, is active
throughout the mountain and plains states
where petroleum reserves along with oil and
gas product lines are bringing Alaskan and
Western fuels to satisfy the energy demands of
urban and industrial complexes from Minne-
apolis to Houston
One of Perini Arctic Associates proudest
moments was the receipt of the following
telegram:
V.N. Osadchuk
Perini Arctic Associates
"By fully completing the installation of VSM's
within your section, on July 8, 1976, you are
to be congratulated on being the first sec-
tion to do so You and your people have
done an exceptional )ob in finishing first
on the project and remaining within your
budget.
Please extend my appreciation to all in-
volved for a fine effort."

Perini Tunnel
Recent impressive strides in engineering
technology have dramatically changed tun-
nel and shaft construction procedures The
introduction of new machinery has resulted
in production rates and advances thought
impossible just a few years ago. Tunnel
boring machines (moles), slurry shields and
ground freezing methods now provide alter-
natives to the engineer and contractor where
adverse geological conditions previously
prohibited conventional driving and sinking
technigues
While new machines and methods can
greatly accelerate the pace of construction,
save time and, in some cases, provide the
rationale for considenng a tunnel or shaft
project, underground work will always con-
tain an element of risk Even with the most
detailed geological investigations, careful
evaluations and design considerations, in
situ conditions often vary widely from those
predicted before start of construction
With four decades of growth and a history of
successful tunnel and shaft projects. Perini
has developed a top-flight team of engineers,
estimators, technicians and managers experi-
enced in all aspects of tunnel and shaft proj-
ects Today Penni tunnelers stand ready to
engineer and construct underground water,
waste conduits and transit systems for public
agencies as well as undertake the planning
and construction of vitally needed projects to
recover, move and store natural resources for
the utility, mining, oil and gas industries.

Perini Mining
Mining activities date back to 1944 when
the company first entered the coal fields of
Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia. The war years found Perini working on
highways and army camps in several of the
coal states. With manpower and equipment
already in place, surface mining was a
natural progression. For several years, until
the pressing wartime need for coal eased,
Perim's mining operations produced in ex-
cess of one million tons of coal per year
Mining activities were dormant dunng the
late 1950s and 60s, In 1970 Perini
reorganized Majestic Mining, Inc, and re-
entered the coal fields by opening up
surface mines at Wise. Virginia and
Widen, West Virginia, Expansion
continued at the Widen property with the
construction of a preparation plant and
the start-up of deep mine activities in 1976.
Widen activities continue to develop with
increased separation capability at the prepa-
ration plant and productions now approach
one million tons per year once again.
The mining operations group seeks property
acquisitions and leases and offers mine
development, mine operation and contract
mining services to property owners, mining
firms and utility companies on a single or
composite task basis.

ASSOCIATES, INC.
Geotechnical Engineers
STATEMENT OF INTRODUCTION
The engineering firm of McPhail Associates, Inc. was established in 1976 to pro-
vide cost-effective geotechnical engineering and construction consultation serv-
ices to Architects, Engineers, Owners and Contractors engaged primarily in the
building, heavy construction and environmental industries.
The corporate office is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and contains both
engineering offices and laboratory testing facilities. The professional staff
includes individuals with backgrounds in Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineer-
ing, and Geology, all of whom have advanced degrees in the geotechnical engineer-
ing discipline.
Our key engineers have had extensive experience in subsurface investigations, geo-
technical analysis and design, design assistance to Structural Engineers and Archi-
tects, and construction control for more than 500 building, environmental, water-
front, and heavy construction projects. Two aspects of our background and experi-
ence have been invaluable in developing our perspective as it relates to practical
and economical geotechnical design and construction.
First, having participated with a considerable number of highly qualified design
teams representing a broad spectrum of disciplines, we appreciate the service role
of the Geotechnical Engineer to the other members of the design team. We are
oriented towards providing timely design assistance which ensures proper implementa-
tion of the geotechnical design recommendations into the Contract Documents. Design
assistance includes consultation, preparation of earthwork, pile and caisson speci-
fications, review of foundation plans, details and notes, and coordination with
other technical sections and the bid form.
Second, we have provided extensive geotechnical construction consultation, design
and inspection services to Contractors and Owners for many difficult deep excavations
requiring cofferdams, tied-back and braced earth support systems, underpinning,
rock slope stabilization, and groundwater control or pressure relief systems. This
experience has emphasized the necessity of anticipating foundation construction
techniques and recognizing their impact upon the overall economics of the founda-
tion design.
Since its inception, McPhail Associates, Inc. has provided geotechnical engineer-
ing services for projects valued at more than 5.7 billion dollars worldwide. Our
key engineers have worked on projects throughout the United States, in Canada, and in
the Middle East, but the majority of our projects has been in New England. Many
have been in greater Boston with its difficult subsurface conditions.
