Andover Ballardvale Fire Station Receives CMAA-NE Project Achievement Award
/We are pleased to announce that the Andover Ballardvale Historic District’s new Fire Station has received a CMAA-NE Project Achievement Award! Each year, CMAA-NE (the Construction Management Association of America, New England Chapter) recognizes various projects and corresponding project teams for exemplary work in the realm of construction management. PMA Consultants was the CM for this project, and they did some truly wonderful work for the Town of Andover. This three bay apparatus garage replaces the old one bay station, with new crew quarters and a training room (tripling the capacity of the existing conditions).
Context Architecture worked closely with the town’s historic district committee in order to integrate the new station into the town’s historical environment. Context also provided significant input into the public approvals process, attending dozens of public meetings. Our team worked hard to ensure that the Town was well-informed, the tight-knit Ballardvale neighborhood felt listened to, and the project successfully passed Town Meeting.
“We're in a position to better serve this area of the community in South Andover in a way that we haven't been able to do in the past few years. Now we have lots of space to house much more equipment and free up space in our other two stations so they aren't so cramped”, adds Chief Michael Mansfield.
Thanks to the very capable team over at PMA Consultants! For more information on this project please visit:
