Nauset Construction has begun a $10 million renovation of Quincy’s Coddington Hall.

The restoration and renovation of the building will include new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems and new utility services to the building. There will be new landscaping, site paving and exterior lighting, masonry restoration, new slate roof, copper gutters, new galvanized metal fascia, soffit and dentils to match the original and new windows.

"Coddington Hall is a handsome brick and granite building that really needs a lot of attention, and this project will not only bring back the look of an historic building, but the interior renovations will provide office space for central administration for our schools and combine the IT between the schools and city," Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch said in a statement.

Wessling Architects is providing historic preservation for the space, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, building facade restoration and interior design for this turn of the century building.

The newly renovated 40,000-square-foot space will house the school department, administrative offices, city and school Information Technology, city printing department and new meeting space for the public.

The project is expected to be complete by July 2014.
