North Andover, Ma – Jewett Construction Company, Inc. (JCCI) recently completed construction of a new, ground-up branch of Massachusetts-based Lowell Five Bank at 498 Chickering Road, North Andover, MA. This is the bank’s sixteenth such facility. JCCI contracted with NES Group of Mansfield, MA mass to construct the new 3150 sf branch facility, which was designed by DRL Associates, Inc. of Weymouth. It includes four teller stations, offices and a two-lane drive- thru with 24-hourATM. The exterior is of architectural shingles and HardiePanel cement board siding and trim, with Low E glass for windows and store fronts. Also included are decorative columns and cultured stone veneer, with copper down spouts and gutters. Exterior walkways have a snow melt system installed to eliminate snow and ice.
The interior reflects many of the same qualities and finishes as the exterior, with cultured stone veneer dressing the teller line and accent walls, and a high vaulted ceiling in the lobby with accent moldings. The mechanical and electrical work included a radio master box and security system provided by American Alarm . Diebold, a division of NES Group, provided the branch with all Diebold equipment.
The entire project was completed in six months, and despite encountering thousands of tons of contaminated soils, JCCI maintained the original delivery date promised the client.
