Chelsea Emergency Operations Center

A 1930s municipal building rebuilt around live police, fire and 911 dispatch.

Chelsea Emergency Operations Center
The Project

We stripped the 1930s building to its original block while emergency dispatchers stayed on the air. Police, fire, EMS and DPW radios stayed live through every phase of construction, and the fire alarm box system kept reporting.

Demolition, framing, MEP rough and finishes were scheduled around shift changes, with temporary partitions, dust control and acoustic isolation, so no call went unanswered. The Office of Emergency Management signed off on every phase transition, and our superintendent coordinated daily with the dispatch lead.

Scope
  • New envelope, windows, doors and roofing
  • Full mechanical, electrical and plumbing replacement
  • New radio control tower, generator and standby power
  • Static-resistant flooring across the dispatch floor
  • Electrical service upsized to 400 A three-phase, coordinated with Eversource
  • Conference rooms, offices, bathrooms, workout room, ADA lift and custom casework
  • Original 1930s bell and memorial plaques preserved
