BOXX Modular provided HG & E with a new 1,250 square-foot permanent modular building visitor center to replace a tent that used to welcome visitors. Custom built, the new building provides a welcoming, and comfortable learning environment for visitors, as well as a training area for Holyoke Gas & Electric employees. From families to school students on field trips, the visitor center supplies an astounding view of the dam and river, through the over-sized windows spanning the front of the building. Technology ready the building allows HG & E to use state-of-the-art resources to educate and inform those visiting the facility.
The modular building project included extensive site excavation, underground utility runs, concrete ramps with aluminum handrails, expansive custom awnings, and a specialized layout with custom interior and exterior finishes. With their new building HG & E can educate or train approximately 30 people at a time in a climate controlled environment, while providing access to a spectacular view of the Connecticut River.
