Acella Construction completes projects at Northeastern University
Boston, MA Acella Construction Corporation, a leader in construction management, has completed two projects at Northeastern University.
The Acella team installed new lighting, ceilings, and carpeting on the second floor at West Village H, an apartment-style high rise located on the Northeastern campus at 440 Huntington Ave. that, in addition to residences, is home to the College of Computer and Information Science and two 66-person classrooms. The installation project also included DIRTT wall partitions for classrooms; the DIRTT brand is integrated, prefabricated construction enabled by advanced technology.
In addition, Acella managed the installation of new lighting, carpeting and vinyl tiles for fourth floor office space at the University’s SMART technology center.
The West Village H and SMART center work marks the latest in a series of projects managed by Acella Construction for Northeastern University over the past several years. Past campus projects include interior renovation of the International Village Marketing and Communication Department; the Vespignani/Lazer Computational Space Lab; and the Snell Library Conference Room.
“It’s always a pleasure for our team to return to the Northeastern campus and provide design solutions that are not only highly functional but also aesthetically attractive,” said Ryan LaVangie, vice president of sales & marketing for Acella Construction.
