Erland to build 32,000 s/f at St. Sebastian's School
Erland Construction was awarded the 32,000 s/f science, math, library center for St. Sebastian's School. Erland will team with Robert Olsen + Associates of Boston on this new construction and renovation project.
When completed in early 2012, the new two-story science, math, library center - built as an addition to the existing main building - will feature eight math classrooms; two biology labs; and two science classrooms on the first floor. The second floor will contain two chemistry labs; two physics labs; a math/science computer room; a seminar room; and a reading room. In addition, the new building will have a large rotunda with high-end finishes that will be used for physics lessons. As part of this project, Erland will renovate a section of the existing main building to connect the buildings together and perform life safety upgrades to the church on campus.
