Our Plan
A
fter careful study, assessment, and planning, the Beta Upsilon
Association engaged the services of McDougal Architects to
assess the long-term needs of the Chapter House and Annex and to
develop a plan to address those needs. In 2012, McDougal was
responsible for the complete renovation of 122 Bay State Road.
These renovations will maintain the integrity and intention of the initial
architect but will reflect the changes that have occurred through the
years in technology, expectations and growth and will provide a more
competitive facility for attracting quality young men. In all areas, the
architect has been instructed to address mandatory building and fire
code requirements. Beta's absence has been noticeable, and its strong
return with a first-class structure will position the Chapter as a top
fraternity on campus.
After much research, the board made the informed decision to split the
project into two phases. By doing so, the board will be able to manage
both the financial and logistical aspects wisely. Due to immediate
needs of the facility, the board secured financing for the first phase of
the project and began work June 2013. Our Chapter members will be
welcomed back to a much-improved facility in the fall. The second
phase of the project is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2014.
