Located at 40 Guest Street, The Auerbach Center at Boston Landing is the new world-class practice and training facility of the Boston Celtics. Code Red Consultants provided building and fire code consulting services for the six-story, 160,000 SF mixed-use building, which includes 5,700 SF of ground-floor retail, 190 parking spaces across one level at grade and two levels above grade, and two stories of shell space designated for offices and laboratories. The top two floors house the 70,000 SF practice facility for the Boston Celtics, featuring two NBA regulation basketball courts, a locker room, hospitality space, kitchen facilities, offices, and common areas. A 40-foot glass wall enclosing the practice courts offers prime visibility of the basketball practice facility from the adjacent Massachusetts Turnpike.

Code Red Consultants completed a performance-based analysis to remove fireproofing from steel trusses located above the Celtics practice court. The effort included creating a computational fluid dynamics analysis to evaluate severe case fire scenarios within the double height basketball court to determine the temperature and radiant heat flux to which the steel trusses would be exposed. This study was used to win approval of a state code appeal allowing the desired fireproofing to be removed.

Boston Landing is a 15-acre mixed-use development in the Allston-Brighton neighborhood of Boston that includes the new world headquarters of New Balance Athletics, Inc. and the Boston Bruins practice facility. In addition, the development includes a commuter rail station, additional office buildings, retail and restaurant space, a hotel, and a sports complex.

The project team for the Auerbach Center includes NB Development Group, Elkus Manfredi Architects, and John Moriarty & Associates General Contractors.
