In the summer of 2014, work commenced on an addition to the Hemenway Hall and Annex at Framingham State University, which added a brand new science laboratory to the facility.We also installed 2,800 square feet of interior laminated tempered glass in the atrium, as well as the overlooking roof skylights. We were contracted to furnish and install 7,300 square feet of EFCO 5900 curtain wall, of which 5,000 square feet was structurally glazed in a single three-story expanse. We also clad the exterior of the building in 13,200 square feet of aluminum composite panel, fabricated by New England Panel Systems.

Assembly Row – Block 6 was a new construction project of 447 apartment units and 48,000 square feet of ground floor retail space in Somerville, MA. We took on a vast amount of the exterior construction scope. The walls of the twenty-story tower were built out of precast concrete panels with punched openings that we were to install over 1,500 windows into. To save time and costs, we took an innovative approach to installing the windows that would eliminate the need to use lifts and swing stages on the constricted job site. The idea was to install the windows into the precast panels before the panels left their production facility. The panels could then be lifted into place and installed as usual with the windows already in them. Our scope included 8,940 square feet of exterior curtain wall and storefront glass and glazing throughout the first six stories of the building. We also fabricated and installed more than 73,000 square feet of aluminum composite panel cladding, which included wrapping the north, west, and south elevations of the tower. It would have been difficult to manually field measure these elevations, but we were able to save time and effort by putting our 3D laser scanner to use on the task. Our team utilized swing staging to install the panels and an additional 470 windows on the tower. It was a major scheduling challenge because multiple trades had to share the swing stages and work against the clock as dangerous high winds would frequently cause the jobsite to shut down for safety reasons.

A brand new, state-of-the-art, 250,000 sq ft facility.  The building has five wings that are united by a multi-story common space with research and teaching lab, classrooms, community spaces, a greenhouse, a library, a cafe, and multiple informal learning areas. The building was designed for an open and transparent aesthetic, and we were contracted to furnish and install interior and exterior glass and glazing products, as well as skylights into a roof canopy. We also fabricated and installed a considerable amount of ACM metal panels on both the exterior and interior of the facility. The overarching challenges we had to overcome on this project were related to timing and coordination. This stems from the considerable scope we took on, which was made up of a wide variety of glazing products and composite panel areas on both the interior and exterior of the building. Using our extensive product knowledge and years of experience, we were able to foresee potential problems and react to unexpected issues, completing the project on time and on budget. Key points Installed an extensive scope of interior and exterior products with a wide range of complexities to be coordinated, such as tying into a Greenhouse Temperature Control System Furnished and installed 18,650 sq ft exterior curtain wall Included 3,000 sq ft slope glazed roof monitors with insulated glass and 11,300 sq ft rainscreen panel system Included 12,700 sq ft interior doors Included interior and exterior ACM panels, many custom designed Materials were chosen to boost energy efficiency Received an Excellence In Construction Award in the Exteriors category from the Associated Builders And Contractors, Massachusetts Chapter, Merit Award Gallery Edit gallery Read Certification Letter Let’s Get Started!
