DBI Projects has been Hired to Manage the Renovation of a Historic Residence Hall on MIT’s campus

Continuing its recent development success in historic properties, DBI has been hired to manage upgrades to the Number Six Club building at MIT. Following visioning sessions with both alumni and current residents of the house, the scope of the project includes a re-envisioned dining experience for Number Six residents, adding a new elevator for accessibility, sustainable heating and cooling systems free of fossil fuel usage, and upgrades to the building’s exterior spaces.

Built in 1915, the Number Six building houses MIT’s Number Six Club, a Nationally affiliated Co-ed Literary Society. The building is located on the university’s west campus, along Memorial Drive and Fowler Street, and overlooks the Charles River from picturesque Cambridge, Massachusetts.

DBI is serving as owner’s representative on the project and is working with Brewster Thornton Group Architects, who is serving as the project’s design partner, to help the legendary social chapter realize its ambitious plans in time for its 110th Anniversary in 2026.
