Restaurant Architectural and Engineering Companies Team-up to Solve Unique Installation Challenge

BOSTON, MA and LEESBURG, VA - (Send2Press Newswire) - Oct. 15, 2003 -- Dwyer Engineering (www.dwyer.com) announced today that the company has completed the design of mechanical and electrical systems for a new Bertucci's restaurant, located on the ground floor of the new research facility at Children's Hospital in Boston. MillenniuM Design Associates of Quincy, MA, is the restaurant's Architect, and Shawmut Construction of Boston is the General Contractor. This is the 12th Bertucci's restaurant designed by Dwyer Engineering, and the 38th Bertucci's restaurant in Massachusetts.

Children's Hospital is the largest pediatric medical center in the United States and one of the nation's top hospitals for the 14th year in a row, according to US News & World Report. Bertucci's (www.bertuccis.com), known for their brick oven pizza, serves authentic Italian dishes for lunch and dinner. This new Bertucci's location will serve people who work at the research facility, as well as the hospital staff, visitors, and the general public.

Matt Dwyer, PE, of Dwyer Engineering said, "The usual key to designing systems for a restaurant is to make the systems invisible: quiet, effective, and comfortable. Children's Hospital has excellent systems here, such as the 100% outside air delivered to the space 24/7. We added the exhaust, power, lighting, water, steam and other systems needed to convert the empty first floor space into a relaxing place to have lunch or dinner."

Gary J. Sadler, AIA, principal architect of MillenniuM Design Associates, Inc. remarked that, "Designing a restaurant in a space so unique as this one while satisfying life safety requirements -- as well as the needs of both Bertucci's and Children's Hospital -- was quite a challenge. The end result is a well engineered space, and an inviting dining experience for visitors 'on the go.'"
