Erland Named as Construction Manager to Renovate Lab

Marlborough, MA.  – Erland Construction was selected to transform an existing office space into a state-of-the-art analytical lab for the Dow Chemical Company.

The company’s facility in Marlborough supports Dow’s Electronic Materials business, a leading global supplier of enabling materials in applications such as consumer electronics, flat-panel displays, and telecommunications.

The newly updated analytical lab on the 110-acre campus will enable the research and design of Dow’s electronic materials including microelectronic, circuit board and packaging, and finishing technologies. Erland is four-months in to this 8,226sf seven-month renovation.

Additional utilities such as argon, nitrogen, clean dry air, a process vacuum, and a series of specialty gases are required to be piped to the lab. The lab also needs to maintain a critical humidity level. A humidifier is being installed on the roof with dispersion tubes connected to the energy recovery ventilator. New steel is being installed on the roof to support the energy recovery ventilator, humidifier, and exhaust fans.
