Jewett Automotive Design & Construction begins renovation of Marlboro Nissan

Jewett Automotive Design & Construction, a division of Jewett Construction Company, Inc., has begun an extensive, five-month renovation of Marlboro Nissan. Designed by the Curtis Architectural Group of Newton, the renovations include demolition of the existing showroom building and construction of a new, open, two-story showroom with a 2nd floor office mezzanine. The building frame is of structural steel with the front façade comprised of aluminum composite panels over light guage metal framed walls, which will give it the familiar Nissan look. Side walls will be skinned with insulated metal panels, providing an attractive, cost effective wall system, and a white roofing membrane will provide heat reflection for energy savings during warmer months. The interior will be finished with ceramic tile floors, carpeting, and millwork. New lighting, as well as HVAC, fire protection, and electrical systems are designed to create an inviting and comfortable environment for customers and employees. Siding and ACM (aluminum composite metal panels) will be installed by the Jewett Metal Buildings & Steel Erectors division. The facility will be in full operation while the construction takes place, with project operations tailored to allow for minimal disruption to the client's customers or employees. Jewett Automotive Design & Construction specializes in design/build auto dealership facilities, auto dealership additions, auto dealership renovations and auto dealership fit-ups all across New England—completing close to fifty such projects in the last few years. Automotive clients include such well-known organizations as Watertown Ford, the Tulley Automotive Group, Subaru of Keene, Olsen Cadillac, and repeat customers the Melkonian Group, Commonwealth Motors, and the Grappone Automotive Group.
