J. Calnan & Associates, Inc.'s special projects division completes three fast-track office fit-out projects

J. Calnan & Associates, Inc.'s (JC&A) focused special projects division recently added 3 more fast-track office fit-out projects to its growing portfolio. The projects include renovations for Liquid Pixels, AirXchange and Affinova. Liquid Pixels was relocating to Bedford and required 5,000 s/f of renovation. Working collaboratively with Walsh Cochis Architects, Koda Ventures and Liquid Pixels, the JC&A project team successfully completed the renovation in just 4 weeks. AirXchange had 4 weeks to renovate and expand their office and warehouse space in Rockland. Using a design/build approach, JC&A worked with AirXchange and subcontractor partners to successfully turn the project over on time and within budget. Affinova turned to JC&A when it needed to expand. In order to accommodate their recent growth, Affinova needed to increase their space in Waltham by 5,000 s/f. Together with Hobbs Brook Management LLC and Studio Troika, the JC&A team used the design/build approach to convert the space in just 4 weeks. The project included demo, new carpet throughout, a new kitchen, minor finish improvements and private office furniture. David Conner, director of special projects said, "Collaboration is important to the success of any project, but absolutely critical when faced with tight timelines and in occupied spaces like these ones. We are very fortunate to work alongside partners who adopt our collaborative approach to building spaces and relationships."
