808 Memorial

Team Sunrise is wrapping up a 240,000 sq. ft. re-clad of two 1970s-era apartment buildings, located at 808-812 Memorial Drive, along the Charles River in Cambridge.

The existing façade was a mix of flat and corduroy concrete and faced several water infiltration issues. Sunrise was brought in on a design-assist basis to aid in the design and renovation of the existing buildings.

Sunrise installed new structural attachments back to the floor slabs, allowing for unitized insulated metal panel sections to be mounted outboard of the existing face of the concrete.

Custom extrusions were created to integrate pre-glazed windows into the system and allow for the existing windows to be removed from the interior after the exterior work was completed.

Full scope of work included:

  • ES Windows Unitized CW System
  • Sunrise Erectors, Inc. Unitized Panelwall System
  • Tecnoglass glazing
  • Kingspan Global Designwall2000 horizontal IMP panels
  • Kingspan Karrier IMP backup wall panels
  • Vitrobond 4mmFR ACM in 3 custom finishes
  • Hilti Group CP 637 Firestopping Mortar
  • Hilti EOS Quickseal Floorslab fireproofing
  • Hilti fasteners/anchors

Clippership Wharf

Sunrise teamed up with Lendlease and The Architectural Team (TAT) on construction of this vibrant, new mixed-use community on a previously underutilized section of the East Boston waterfront.

Consisting of four buildings on 12 acres, the development includes 478 residential units; a mix of community, restaurant, and recreational uses; and direct access to the waterfront with some of the most striking views of downtown Boston along the Boston Harbor.

The goal of the Clippership Wharf project was to transform the site into an active, publicly accessible extension of Maverick Square and the surrounding East Boston neighborhood.

Sunrise installed more than 100,000 sq. ft. of Trespa wall panels — in six different colors — along with ACM panels, soffits, canopies, and a Corium brick rainscreen system with two glazed colors.

Brandeis University New Residence Hall

Sunrise teamed up with Bond Brothers and William Rawn Associates on this design-assist collaboration for the newest residence hall at Brandeis University, Castle Hall.

SEI was brought in to help vet material choices, colors, and to aid in value engineering the project back to budget — a process that involved the construction of multiple different mockups at our fabrication facility in Canton. The mockups were designed to swap out different window systems, panel types, colors and materials to help aid in the selection process.

SEI also played a key role in the detailing of the various façade components, which helped ensure an efficient installation while lowering costs for the client.

The product scope included: Aluminum curtainwall (C.I Energía Solar ESWindows), aluminum vents, aluminum composite panels (Vitrabond), framing, insulation, air and vapor barrier, expansion joints, fire stopping, louvers, and interior glass and glazing (Tecnoglass).

Special thanks to ESW for the great pictures!
