Last Tuesday, members of the Fontaine Team were honored to attend the Construction Celebration for the new School of Public Health & Health Sciences Hub at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. ? We are proud to serve as the Construction Manager at Risk for this exciting project, which will create a unified space where students from the UMass Amherst School of Public Health & Health Sciences can collaborate, access support services, receive advising, and utilize new classroom and seminar spaces. ? Once completed, the SPHHS Hub will be a modern, inspiring building designed to serve as the heart of the only publicly accredited School of Public Health in New England. #PublicHealth #HealthSciences #Construction

Project Update: Franklin Avenue Elementary School ??? The sidewalks are in place and the landscaping team is busy bringing the school grounds to life with fresh grass and new plantings.

As this week is #SuicidePreventionWeek, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge a serious matter that affects our industry. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the construction industry has the second-highest rate of suicide in the United States, with 53.3 suicides per 100,000 workers. This statistic is more than just a number; it represents the lives of our colleagues, friends, and family members. ? These numbers are alarming, but together we can make a difference. By raising awareness, we can help identify the signs of someone who might be struggling and offer the support they need. Check out our graphic for more information and resources on recognizing the signs and offering support. Together, we can make a change. #SuicidePrevention #ConstructionSafety
