Beautiful evening for the dedication ceremony of the new Gilder Center at Northfield Mount Hermon School last night! The building is stunning and the team moved mountains to deliver this project on time and on budget in just 22 months from designer / CM selection to completion. Many beautiful and sustainable elements including the granite facade sourced from New Hampshire, slate siding sourced locally from Vermont, and of course the hybrid Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure. Great TEAM effort with Flansburgh Architects and Scalora Consulting Group!

The Shrewsbury Police Station project will consist of a two-story building with steel framing constructed on spread footings with masonry veneer. The existing Police Station and department will remain fully occupied and in operation at their current location while construction is being completed. Some of the project features include spaces for dispatch, records, roll call, report writing, offices, interview rooms, locker/training rooms, as well as public-use conference rooms and classrooms.
