Erland Construction and CBT Architects Chosen to Build State-of-the-Art Athletic Field House for Middlesex School

Concord, MA – Erland Construction, in collaboration with Rimkus and CBT Architects, has been selected by Middlesex School to undertake a transformative project on the school’s historic Concord campus. This ambitious initiative will bring a state-of-the-art, two-story, 106,000-square-foot athletic field house to life, enhancing the school’s dynamic athletics program.

The new facility will feature a spacious fitness center, indoor turf practice space, two basketball/volleyball courts, an elevated indoor track, and lower-level parking for 72 cars. The building will also be designed to meet LEED Silver certification,  providing a well-rounded experience for students and staff.

Positioned adjacent to Middlesex’s existing athletic complex, this cutting-edge field house will further enrich campus life and serve generations of student-athletes. The project represents Erland’s second partnership with Middlesex School, solidifying a relationship built on collaboration and shared values.

"We are thrilled to work with Erland Construction to bring this important project to our campus. The new athletic field house will be a game-changer for our students, giving them access to a top-tier facility that enhances both their athletic and educational experiences," said Bessie Spears, Head of School at Middlesex.
