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.

They are committed to providing assistance in the development of high quality, cost effective, and innovative devices.
