CCC Selects Bowdoin Construction to Build Old Bedford Road Site (9/2022)

Concord, MA – Local early childhood care and education provider Concord Children’s Center (CCC) this summer took another step toward realizing its vision of moving to a two-site model to most effectively and efficiently serve Concord and the surrounding towns. In July, CCC signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Bowdoin Construction of Needham to construct a new facility at 250 Old Bedford Road in Concord. Bowdoin joins the project team of D.W. Arthur (architect), Omni Properties (Project Manager), Lemon|Brooke (landscape architects) and Stamski and McNarey (engineers). The project is expected to break ground in mid-September. 

The new site is part of a broader strategic initiative, CCC Reimagined, to restructure CCC from a three-site model to a two-site to best and most efficiently serve its children and families. This restructuring involves retaining CCC’s site in West Concord at 1300 Main Street, building a second site that is also owned by CCC on the east side of Concord at 250 Old Bedford Road; and departing CCC’s Emerson and Ripley sites. 

“The Bowdoin Construction team brings the experience and skills to realize the vision of CCC Reimagined,” said Pat Nelson, Executive Director at Concord Children’s Center. “This new site will be great for the Concord community and a terrific resource for working families and young growing minds. I’m thrilled to have Bowdoin join our effort to make it a reality.” 

Founded in 1973, Bowdoin Construction has established itself as a leader in the industry providing pre-construction planning, construction management and general contracting services throughout New England. Bowdoin has a background managing childcare/school campus expansion projects for non-profit entities who provide educational services for children, as well as independent schools, private special needs schools, and colleges and universities. 

“We are thrilled to join CCC’s team to build a new site for families and children,” said Andrew Buckman, President at Bowdoin Construction. “We are focused on quality and are committed to delivering the best overall value to our customers. We look forward to bringing our expertise to Concord Children’s Center.”
