Simple, Beautiful Solutions 

Andrew’s work on the Hendricken Track and Field project provided a much-needed amenity for Providence College. In collaboration with an athletic facilities design consultant, he designed a new synthetic turf field surrounded by a 6-lane track, in the center of the campus.

“It took some thought to create the right design to blend this large athletic facility into the heart of the academic campus,” says Andrew. “The brick and granite seat walls, lush planting beds, and generous pedestrian paths on the edges of the field achieve the look the client desired. It’s a major asset for the university—and now it’s a true campus destination.”

Community Involvement  

In addition to his work with SMMA, Andrew volunteers as an active member of Allston Village Main Streets’ Design Committee. “I enjoy participating in the improvement of my neighborhood and providing pro bono design assistance,” he says. “And working so closely with people who aren’t in our industry has been fun and refreshing. I find that I’ve become better at connecting with and communicating design ideas to clients because of my involvement.”
