JM Coull Earns Excellence in Construction Award from ABC MA
MAYNARD, MA — JM Coull (JMC) has been recognized by the Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC MA) with its recent Excellence in Construction Award. The firm obtained an Eagle Award, its 10th overall, for the Collings Foundation’s American Heritage Museum. The museum, located in Hudson, Massachusetts, was recognized in the special projects category. The American Heritage Museum has also been submitted under the national ABC Excellence in Construction Awards program. Winners will be announced at the 2020 ABC Convention in Nashville.
The design-build construction of the 65,000-square-foot museum displays the United States’ largest private collection of vehicles from the country’s past military conflicts. More than 48,000 square feet of central exhibit space was built to house vehicles, artifacts, murals and maps, with elevated viewing mezzanines spanning the entire area. Additionally, the museum features a walk-through replica of a World War I trench. The facility also comprises audio/visual components to enhance visitor experiences.
“We are extremely proud of this award and our relationship with ABC,” said JMC President Andy Coull. “We’ve been members of this incredible organization for a long time, and to continue to be recognized for our work is a great honor, particularly on such a complex project as the American Heritage Museum. We have a lot of design-build experience, but constructing a massive structure to house historic military tanks, automobiles, aircraft and artifacts, all at different sizes and with varying clearance and maneuverability requirements, was certainly a new challenge. It required extensive coordination on the part of the entire team in order to make the project a success.”
JM Coull is a design-build and construction management firm specializing in new construction and renovations for the commercial, industrial/manufacturing, life sciences, advanced technology, healthcare, education and institutional markets. The company works throughout New England from its headquarters in Maynard, Massachusetts.
