We are on our third House Doctor contract with Tufts (starting in 2015) and we continue to have an excellent working relationship with this revered academic institution.
51 Winthrop Street (Medford, MA)
This former church is an ideal location for University use. Frequent meetings with the leadership of the University identified possible uses that could be served by the facility.
In renovating the facility for its reuse by the college, the religious iconography and stained glass windows were returned to the former owners, the former altar was covered to provide a universal floor level, and moveable units that can sub-divide the larger meeting space were installed that also store trash containers and coats.
Interfaith Center, 58 Winthrop Street (Medford, MA)
Renovations to 58 Winthrop Street involved selective demolition and additions for creation of a new university interfaith center, for use by multiple faith groups, as well as other campus groups. The project scope included restoration of an old multipurpose room, enlarging windows, and providing accessible entrances and facilities. The newly renovated building also provides office space and meeting rooms for three of the University’s chaplains.
The new Interfaith Center design has been recognized with a 2008 Small Firms/Small Projects Design Award from the Boston Society of Architects, a 2008 Faith & Form Award for Architectural Renovation, and a 2009 SCUP Merit Award.

Reference
“It is with great pleasure that I offer a letter of reference for Johnson Roberts Associates based on their many projects completed at Tufts University. The firm has provided Tufts with top quality design services in an efficient and expeditious manner.
Their attention to detail, problem solving, creative design solutions and sensitivity to budget provided a sound framework for University decision making. They willingly engaged in an interactive process, with both University representatives and abutting neighbors, demonstrating a keen ability to listen. In addition to major design commissions, the firm completed a number of feasibility studies, space use programs and re-use evaluations. Of particular note is the active involvement of a senior member of the firm throughout the entire project.
I enthusiastically encourage you to give Johnson Roberts Associates your most careful consideration. It is a truly professional organization focused on achieving results for its clients and has my unqualified recommendation.”
