Erland Construction, Inc. recently completed a major renovation of the 33,000 s/f Andover Inn at Phillips Academy. Teaming with architecture firm Arrowstreet, Inc. on a design/build basis, Erland completed construction in just under one year.
Renovations to the 31-room hotel, built in 1930, included upgrades to both the interior and exterior of the building. The inn was completely gutted and rehabilitated—with the exception of the main lobby and dining areas, which Phillips Academy wanted to preserve because of the richness of their architectural detailing. Andover Inn now features new mechanical and electrical systems, as well as a new modernized look that blends contemporary style with the historical nature of the original building.
"We're very excited to have completed another successful project for Phillips Academy," said Jeff Ellowitz, Erland's residential group manager. "These renovations have really revitalized the Andover Inn, and we're proud of our contributions to continued improvement on this campus."
This project marks the fourth time Erland has worked at Phillips Academy. The previous three include the new Gelb Science Center and two dormitory renovations—the Claude M. Fuess House and Johnson Hall.
