KMDG has teamed with Trinity Financial, Inc, ICON Architecture, and VHB to redevelop the former Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, MA. Perched high at the northwest corner of Medfield, overlooking the Charles River and nestled amidst a bucolic landscape of trees and walking trails, are the majestic buildings of the former Medfield State Hospital Campus. Medfield State Hospital (MSH) is listed in the State and National Registers of Historic Places and is designated a local historic district.

The master plan proposes the adaptive reuse of 27 existing buildings into multi-family housing and ancillary amenity space, comprising approximately 393,000 square feet with 25% of residential units designated as affordable housing. The plan for the 47.5 acre site marries complementary residential uses with the proposed Cultural Alliance of Medfield’s plan for cultural and arts uses onsite. Additionally, it invites community use of open space to anchor and sustain residents of all ages and interests. The team will actively integrate sustainability measures that reduce the environmental impact of this historic rehabilitation to the extent allowable by the National Park Service and the Massachusetts Historic Commission.
