STV is partnering with Framingham State University and the Massachusetts State College Building Authority to deliver a new barn at the Warren Conference Center in Ashland, Massachusetts. The project replaces the historic Henry E. Warren Barn, which was razed after its condition deteriorated, and is intended to support university and community programming.
The new barn is planned alongside a seasonal outdoor ice rink and plaza, creating an event-focused destination at the Warren Conference Center. Together, these improvements are designed to expand opportunities for gatherings, recreation and campus use.
What challenges is STV addressing?
The project requires moving forward with a replacement after the original barn could no longer be preserved. STV is supporting coordination around a new facility that acknowledges the historic structure’s legacy while fitting within the broader Warren Conference Center setting.
What solutions is STV delivering?
As the owner’s project manager, STV is helping guide the delivery of the new barn and related site improvements at the Warren Conference Center. The work supports a flexible venue for events and recreation tied to the adjacent rink and plaza.
How will the project benefit the community?
The project will add new event and recreational space at the Warren Conference Center for Framingham State University and the surrounding community. By pairing the barn with a seasonal outdoor ice rink and plaza, the site is positioned to support academic, social and recreational use.
