Gilbane Building Cuts Ribbon of Babson College Recreation Complex

Gilbane Building Co. has cut the ribbon on the new 75,000-square-foot Babson Recreation and Athletics Complex at Babson College in Wellesley.

Gilbane provided construction management services for the addition and renovation that nearly doubled the footprint of Babson’s wellness center. The focal point of the new facility is the 10,000-square-foot, two-story fitness center which features cardio and strength-training suites, as well as multipurpose rooms and a new recreation space with three basketball courts.

“As the builder of this state-of-the art facility, we are proud to have played a part in Babson’s tremendous investment in its campus community and student life,” said Mike O’Brien, business unit leader of Gilbane’s Massachusetts office. “This project exemplified our collaborative approach to our work, and we’re thrilled to continue our long-standing relationship with Babson College.”
