JM Coull completes two-phase renovation project for Acton Medical Associates

JM Coull recently completed construction services for a two-phase renovation project at Acton Medical Associates' primary location at 321 Main St. Work was performed in some of the facility's busiest areas, including ultrasound, phlebotomy, and reception. Phase I called for renovations to the lab, break room, ultrasound area, and third floor nurses station and offices, while Phase II involved renovations to the waiting room, blood draw area, lab offices, reception, and the second floor nurses stations. The project marks JMC's fourth for Acton Medical; the firm previously renovated and expanded its Harvard, Mass. facility, renovated the organization's Acton radiology department, and constructed its Littleton, Mass. office. JMC collaborated with Maugel Architects on all projects. "We're happy to have had this opportunity to continue our relationship with both Acton Medical and Maugel Architects," said project manager Jami Anderson. "Being a trusted partner to our clients is extremely important to JM Coull, and the fact that we have now completed our fourth project for the organization is a tremendous feeling. Acton Medical has such wonderful and professional staff, and we've truly enjoyed working with them over the years."
