​For more than 10 years, Epsilon has been providing planning and permitting assistance to Boston Children's Hospital (BCH).  Epsilon provided a number of services related to Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act such as greenhouse gas analyses as well as services related to the Boston Planning & Development Agency's Article 80 process.  Specifically, Epsilon provided Article 80 and MEPA consulting services to BCH for the Second Amendment to the BCH Institutional Master Plan (IMP) including the Boston Children's Clinical Building on its Core Campus and the development of 819 Beacon Street.  The First Amendment to the IMP included the construction of an addition to the main building.  The project added an approximately 80,000-square-foot addition located on the footprint of the existing 7,000-square-foot 57 Binney Street building.  Epsilon also prepared the IMP approved in 2008.

Epsilon provided assistance with the hospital’s new clinical and research buildings including consulting services for the BRA’s Article 80 permitting process.  The 422,000-square-foot development provided BCH with expanded clinical and research space in two buildings.  Key environmental issues included transportation, wind, shadow, daylight, and other master planning topics.
