Erland Construction, Inc. completed a multi-phased, fast track, turn-key renovation project for Nordblom Company and Avid, moving Avid from their former world-wide headquarters in Tewksbury to Burlington. Avid leased three buildings from Nordblom - two in the Network Dr. campus and one in Northwest Park, totaling 203,000 s/f. After an intense construction period, Erland completed the project in less than six months.
Erland committed multiple construction crews to simultaneously manage the various components of the project. Avid has taken over the entire building at 75 Network Dr., as well as two floors of 65 Network Dr., which will serve as their corporate headquarters. These renovated spaces feature a high-tech lobby with holographic displays; conference, demonstration and training areas; as well as their executive offices and technical lab space. Erland has also constructed a 143-foot long enclosed pedestrian bridge to provide all-weather access between 65 and 75 Network Dr.. The bridge mimics the design of current connecting bridges in the park.
The final portion of this project included renovations to 10 North Ave. in Northwest Park to house Avid's stockroom and distribution functions including construction of a new loading dock addition. Erland also constructed a new connecting road between North Avenue and the Network Dr. ring road.
Erland teamed with Gensler, RDK Engineers, Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Maugel Architects, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin and Fox Relocation on this project.
