Burlington, MA – Erland Construction was among the recipients of the 27th annual Excellence in Construction Awards given by the Massachusetts chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC MA).
Erland was recognized with an Eagle Award, representing the pinnacle of achievements, for its outstanding work on the Antiquarian Hall Addition and mechanical overhaul at the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) in Worcester.
AAS is known for housing the largest growing and most accessible collection of texts, printed materials and digital resources related to all aspects of American history and culture before the twentieth century. The Eagle Award recognizes overall excellence in project execution, craftsmanship, safety, innovative elements and challenges, and client satisfaction.
The three-story, 7,000sf addition features a new conservation lab that ensures the ongoing preservation of the society’s precious collection of materials and a flexible multi-purpose room that acts as an additional space for educational programming and events.
A state-of-the-art climate-control system was outfitted throughout the entire building to ensure the ongoing preservation of the society’s collection, including the nation’s most comprehensive compilation of printed records dating back to 1640.
This year, over 250 ABC members gathered at the Westin Waltham Hotel to recognize and celebrate the very best construction projects its companies have to offer. This year’s applicant pool was particularly competitive, with each winner selected for the high standards of craftsmanship, safety and quality delivered by talented merit shop workers using the efficient merit shop approach.
