Guiding the effort to build a five-star resort in one of the oldest and most densely populated U.S cities, our services included interfacing with local permitting authorities, adapting the design to the regional climate, implementing sustainable design with building systems that require half the typical usage, optimizing accessibility and coordinating with the construction efforts for an on time opening. The new 3.1 million square foot complex features a modern, bronze-glass hotel holding more than 671 key-luxury rooms, a 210,000 square foot casino, 37,000 square foot ballroom, conference spaces, fine dining restaurants, high end retail shops and a spa. Jacobs served as the executive architect for the casino resort, located on the river directly off the Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts.

The conference center was provided with operable walls specified for acoustic performance and ample acoustic finishes were included in the design to achieve comfortable acoustic environment.It’s the subject of the popular tune, “Over the River and Through the Wood,” a narrative driver in the novel “Mystic River” and later, the Clint Eastwood-directed film of the same name – and now, Mystic River is home to the new Encore Boston Harbor resort. Major mechanical equipment, including large emergency generators and cooling towers were specified with sound attenuation and located as far from hotel guests as possible.

The survey results were used to establish an upgrade façade glazing to attenuate the train noise. The site borders a commuter rail line for which a long-term noise survey was conducted.
This project’s architectural acoustics services included environmental noise monitoring, noise and vibration control for a large central equipment plant as well as interior acoustical design for a wide range of amenity spaces, entertainment and guest spaces. The SM&W acoustical consulting team was brought into the project because of our extensive experience in gaming projects. Additionally, there was a 1.65-million SF parking structure below the casino level. Also included in the project was 385,231 square feet of back-of-house space and 78,372 square feet of front-of-house service including front-of-the-house support, restroom space, and lobby lounge. Other features of the project were 65,132 square feet of retail space, 57,678 square feet of food and beverage (including 11 restaurants and bars and a nightclub), 32,942 square feet of convention and meeting space, a 15,571 square foot spa and gym, and a 5,006 square foot four-season atrium garden located at the main lobby entrance. The gaming facility includes 3,200 slot machines and 160 gaming tables. This project included a 506-room, 356-foot-tall luxury hotel comprised of 595,419 SF and a 213,094 SF gaming facility. Shen Milsom & Wilke provided acoustical consulting expertise for the Encore Boston Harbor (previously known as the Wynn) in Everett, Massachusetts.
