Newton, MA Erland Construction has completed its latest renovation project at The Fessenden School, accomplished in collaboration with Imai Keller Moore Architects and Lenore Design. Over the summer, Erland completed an array of updates across various areas of the school, including Hyde Hall and faculty housing spaces throughout the campus.

“We are thrilled to have once again collaborated with The Fessenden School on this series of summer renovations,” said Ben McConchie, academic group manager at Erland. “Our team, along with our partners at Imai Keller Moore and Lenore Design, worked diligently to deliver results in a condensed timeframe that meet and exceed the school’s evolving needs.”

The renovation project involved updating two kitchens and several restrooms, including the installation of new countertops and cabinets. The enhancements also included painting various spaces, upgrading HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems, and installing new flooring, lighting, and millwork throughout the areas.

During the project, Erland prioritized minimizing disruptions to The Fessenden School’s ongoing summer programs. With a keen understanding of the importance of maintaining an active campus, the team meticulously planned and executed each phase of the renovation with the utmost care and precision.
