Client: Laars Heating Systems, Rochester, NH
Project: Customer Center and Training Facility
This two story, 12,000 SF addition to the LAARS Heating Systems manufacturing facility is the second such expansion Jewett Construction has built for the company in recent years. The ground-up building is structural steel with exterior stone veneer, EIFS, and insulated metal panels with an added stamped concrete patio. The addition houses a new customer center and training facility, as well as additional office space; and boasts a number of specialty features including an ornate, laminated beam curved company canopy, a fifty-plus elevated seating and ADA-accessible classroom/training room equipped with a state-of-the-art A/V system, an elevator, and interior millwork at the lobby area with coordinating finishes. The project went from concept to completion in under 12 months, meeting its original schedule.
In 2007, Jewett constructed a 22,000 sf addition for LAARS that included a receiving office, two handicap accessible restrooms, and warehouse space featuring five overhead doors and four dock levelers.
