Wise Construction

(Boston, MA – August 23, 2007) ~ Wise Construction Corporation has recently formed a partnership with Year Up Boston to complete renovations at the non-profit organization’s Boston location as part of the Wise corporate giving effort. Wise will perform interior renovations to Year Up Boston’s existing offices to create new classrooms, work space, and conference rooms to enhance the teaching environment for its young students.

 

 Working with the design team at Miller Dyer Spears Inc. and R.W. Sullivan Engineers, Wise expects to complete the renovations by September 2007 in time for Year Up’s 12^th class of students. Wise is donating its construction management services in support of the outstanding work that Year Up is achieving in providing urban young adults with the educational skills and opportunity to gain full-time employment and continue their education. 

 

Casey Recupero, Year Up Boston’s Executive Director, is grateful for Wise’s commitment to the collaboration. “Year Up’s growth in Boston will allow us to expand our services to the young adults in the communities we serve and provide more opportunities for them to reach their potential,” said Recupero. “Wise’s commitment to our mission has been evident since day one.”

 

According to President John Wise, Wise Construction is proud to be part of the team working in the Boston community and for such an admirable cause. Providing opportunities for young adults to learn the basic skills of business is a win-win for everyone involved,” said Wise. “Our construction team is enthusiastic about this project and looks forward to moving Year Up into its new 11,000 sf of teaching facilities and interactive classrooms.”
