The expansion project at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston has been recognized by the Boston Chapter of the International Facilities Management Association.

The vertical expansion was designed by ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge,

The project won the "Best Practice Awards: Medium Project," given annually by IFMA to projects ranging between 50,000 and 150,000 square feet. The award is presented to the individual or team whose facility management program, project, system, innovation, or idea has had a substantial and positive effect on the success of their organization. 

The building, located at One Kneeland Street in Boston’s Chinatown, opened late last year after a 22-month vertical expansion development. The five-story, 95,000-square-foot vertical addition was added on top of the existing 10-story Tufts University School of Dental Medicine building.

The general contractor for the project was Shawmut Design and Construction.
