Project of the Month: Acella Construction Corp. completes 45,000 s/f ground-up project with SRC Medical

Hanover, MA Acella Construction Corp., a leader in construction management throughout greater Boston, has completed a new building for SRC Medical.

The 45,000 s/f ground-up project encompasses a single-story warehouse with a two-story mezzanine which houses private offices and lunch and conference rooms. Acella cleared the existing site and provided a complete site work package that included a retention pond as part of a stormwater prevention plan.

Other characteristics of the project include a new 2000 AMP electrical service and transformer, a Thyssen
Krupp Hydraulic Elevator, a curtainwall exterior for the lobby, energy-efficient lighting and occupancy sensors throughout the warehouse, and a three-bay loading dock with hydraulic dock levelers. This hybrid construction also used a metal building provided by Metallic Building Systems for the warehouse and storage area while tying in the office areas with conventional framing. 

SRC Medical is a family-owned business that since 1972 has provided custom molding and assembly services for the medical device industry. They are committed to providing assistance in the development of high quality, cost effective, and innovative devices. SRC is dedicated to meeting their customers’ expectations and needs through continuous improvement of its quality management along with the products and services they provide.

Acella partnered on this project with the site planning and civil engineering firm Merrill Corp. of Plymouth and Hanover and the architectural firm Lloyd Architects of Plymouth.

“The Acella team is proud to have been selected as SRC Medical’s design/build contractor,” said Ryan LaVangie, vice president of sales and marketing for Acella Construction. “Ground-up construction is always exciting, and given our depth of experience in this type of construction we’re well-positioned to lead and oversee a project of this caliber. We are pleased to have been selected by them and create this important space for their business.”
