Siena Construction is a full-service construction management firm specializing in renovations for the life sciences, commercial, retail, academic, and non-profit sectors throughout greater Boston. A Cambridge-based firm since its founding in 1991, Siena’s team has a depth of building experience and proven track record of success, creating vibrant, dynamic spaces bursting with character and culture. Their work ranges from historic town squares to state-of-the-art medical institutions that bring people together, enrich health, and inspire creative talent.
Building community through sustainability! In step with municipal and private initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint, Siena encourages the use of sustainable building practices.
Integrating energy-efficient designs and development can reduce long-term environmental impacts, provide owners with energy cost savings, and create efficient spaces to live and work. In 2020, Siena partnered with MIT Sloan School Laboratory for Sustainable Business (S-Lab) to study construction’s environmental impacts, and reduce non-recyclable materials on construction jobs. S-Lab students performed a material life cycle analysis, identifying opportunities for material reuse, allowing Siena and others to take a proactive approach to sustainable measures.

R. Buckminster Fuller! Fuller – who was born in nearby Milton – was a world-renown architect, designer, philosopher, and theorist.
“Bucky” popularized the design of the geodesic dome, a self-supporting structure that could be constructed with minimal materials for a wide variety of uses, from farming to dwelling. His theory of “Spaceship Earth” encourages and inspires people to work harmoniously and for the greater good of the planet and all its inhabitants – ecology and living beings.
