MIT Sloan Building

Cambridge, MA – LAN-TEL Communications, headquartered in Norwood, provided tel/data system installations at the historic, eight-story MIT Sloan Building facility. The NECA low-voltage specialty contractor’s scope consisted of installing the building’s wireless access network as well as providing the copper and fiber cable backbone and category 6A cable infrastructure to support the MIT facility’s tel/data requirements.

LAN-TEL PM Neil Gillis and foreman Joe Morris supervised a crew of eight Local 103 technicians in the complex two-year cabling fit-out of the building, which was originally constructed in 1938.
NECA contractor J.M. Electrical Co., Inc. of Lynnfield provided electrical installations for the historic building’s advanced Siemens building automation control systems. The scope included wiring and integration of the building’s zoned chilled beams; an in-slab radiant, heating system; advanced floor static pressure control; and 450 individually controlled HVAC zones.
J.M. managed a crew of six Local 103 electricians during the 18-month project.
