J. M. Coull breaks ground for 4,000 s/f Acton Medical facility

The new office for Acton Medical Associates, PC will be a 4,000 s/f medical facility with state of the art equipment. The new building will have the capacity for four doctors, doubling the amount of adult and pediatric medical service the practice can offer to the community. Acton Medical began in the 1950s and focused on the town of Acton. As the need in surrounding areas grew, the private practice expanded to reach more patients. Increasing the physical size of the office space enables Acton Medical to maintain its mission to the community at large. The practice will be purchasing new equipment to outfit the building. Although in good condition, much of the existing medical equipment dated back to the 1950s. Acton Medical with the help of Dr. Dan Carlin was able to donate a lot of the equipment to St. Anthony's Wellness Center in Boston and to IMEC, the International Medical Equipment Collaborative, which donates medical equipment to third world countries. The construction manager on the project is J. M. Coull of Maynard and the architect is Maugel of Harvard. Construction is expected to be completed by January 2009.
