DEDICATION OF HANCOCK • ADAMS COMMON

As part of a $35 million public project in the heart of Quincy, Massachusetts, Radlab’s Tidal Fountain was dedicated on the morning of September 8, 2018. The fountain was designed using a range of animated algorithms, taking cues from naturally occurring tidal pools. The final composition was created with custom contoured granite pavers, incorporating over 200 jets of various sizes. Keynote speakers for the opening ceremony included Governor Charles D. Baker, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Historian David McCullough, and Mayor Thomas P. Koch. This was a great honor and a highlight moment for our office that we will not soon forget.
