Scope Of Work
This Thai Buddhist temple and cultural center is a gift from an anonymous donor to honor King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, who was born in Cambridge, MA and has roots in the region. The four-story temple is crowned by a soaring “Chedi”, the traditional steeple-like tower that sits atop Thai Buddhist Temples. The center includes worship space for 700 people, community rooms, lodging for monks and visitors, the monk’s flower and vegetable gardens, and a museum dedicated to the king and his family.
Careful planning and construction of a large project in a small suburban neighborhood to minimize its effect on the community
Coordination of the installation of custom finishes and art constructed in Thailand, and the work of Thai craftsmen
Managing the delivery and structural attachments of a 5.5-ton Buddha statue into the steel framed building after completion
Project managed by Rubicon staff, while with a previous firm.
