Erland Completes Fifth Phase of Dorm Improvements at WSU

Burlington, Ma – Erland Construction recently completed the fifth phase of dormitory improvements at Westfield State University for the Massachusetts State College

Burlington, Ma – Erland Construction recently completed the fifth phase of dormitory improvements at Westfield State University for the Massachusetts State College Building Authority. Since 2007, Erland and architect Prellwitz Chilinski Associates (PCA, Inc) of Cambridge have performed a series of renovations to five dormitories at WSU, revitalizing housing on campus. For this fifth “summer slammer” project, Erland replaced a total of 233 windows and windows sills at Lammers Hall. Because the Erland/PCA team has been working continuously for WSU over the past five summers, the team was able to get an early start on this project – allowing the necessary time to order windows. This early release ensured that the windows could be tested, delivered, and installed with enough time for Erland to finish the project before students returned to campus at the end of August. The four previous summer slammers encompassed extensive renovations and upgrades to the Scanlon Hall and Courtney Hall residences and Dickinson Commons (an extension of Dickinson Hall that serves as a student activities center and lounge area).
