Dedham, MA Erland Construction recently completed an extensive redesign and modernization of a former greeting card factory at 100 Rustcraft Rd. for developer, The Davis Companies, followed by an interior build-out of offices for General Dynamics C4 Systems. Erland worked with architect Spagnolo Gisness Associates on both phases to finish this project in 14 months.

The base building and façade project began with demolition and stripping down to steel of a 2-story structure, originally constructed in 1954. Erland then performed 130,000 s/f of interior improvements. The expansive new office features and industrial design with a mixture of open ceilings and ceiling tile as well as exposed metal beams. The space includes labs, focus rooms, pantry areas, and a gym and locker rooms in addition to the office space,

The Erland team adeptly handled the logistics of working with the tenant’s security contractors while construction was underway, and mitigated any disruption to the existing tenants – The American Red Cross and Bank of America.

Paul Query of TDC said, “We delivered this project under tight schedule deadlines while protecting services to existing tenants in a large mixed use campus. Erland sustained site operations through the demanding conditions of the winter of 2015. This project enjoyed its success due in large part to the collaboration and cooperation of the entire Erland, Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, and AHA team. We were pleased with the outcome of both projects in terms of the quality of the architecture and the cost controls.”
