Erland Construction, Inc. has been presented two "Excellence in Construction Merit Awards" by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Mass. Chapter for its work on the new undergraduate dormitory at Babson College in Wellesley and Kimball Towers in Burlington, Mass.
The 55,000 s/f, 5-story, all brick residence hall at Babson College, which was built into a hillside, has an elegant curved façade and was designed to mirror the architectural style of the rest of the buildings on campus. Built to satisfy the college's growing need for on-campus, undergraduate housing, the dorm accommodates 124 student beds in 31 apartment style units, each containing four bedrooms as well as a shared bathroom, living room, and kitchenette.
Kimball Towers contains 256 rental units in two 10-story towers linked by a 5-story structured parking garage. The development includes a mixture of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with units on the top three floors featuring higher-end finishes. Located on a 2.5-acre portion of a site constrained by bordering wetlands and a densely populated residential neighborhood, Kimball Towers was built in close proximity to Kimball Court - an occupied 525-unit apartment development also owned by The Mullins Company. Combined, Kimball Towers and Kimball Court is now the seventh largest residential complex in the state.
