St. Albans, VT – Neagley & Chase Construction announced it recently completed the new 32,000sf Haddad Subaru Sales and Service Facility in St. Albans.

The facility, the first New England Subaru dealership in over 20 years, opened to customers this summer, bringing Subaru sales, parts, and service to northwest Vermont. An enhanced customer experience is supported by spaces that include a large daylit showroom, a lending sales suite, and reception and guest service areas. The guest retreat area includes hospitality grade furnishings, a fireplace, entertainment, and coffee bar.

The facility features a separate indoor vehicle drop-off for customers leaving their vehicles for service work. The new highly durable and cleanable service area provides 14 state-of-the-art services bays. Service team members are supported by an organized and efficient parts storage system with plenty of room to grow. Also included are an employee lounge, locker rooms, offices and a conferencing area.

High performance MEP systems, ample daylighting, an airtight building envelope, skylights, and heat recovery ventilation contribute to the sustainability and energy efficiency of the facility.

The project team included Black River Design Architects, Pearson Associates, Slade Engineering, Ruggiano Engineering, and Hardy Structural Engineering.
