Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) has selected Erland, in collaboration with Cresa and Samuel Anderson Architects, to fit out its new 23,500sf headquarters at 600 Federal Street in Andover. The renovation will transform the space into a state-of-the-art office and document preservation facility tailored to NEDCC’s highly specialized needs.

The scope of work includes the construction of an open conservation lab, imaging studio, color toning station, chemical storage, acoustical control rooms, a preservation vault, individual offices, libraries, and a break room. As an MEP-intensive project, the space will feature advanced HVAC systems with precise humidity controls and integrated environmental systems to support sensitive conservation work.

Given NEDCC’s critical mission of preserving historically significant documents, artwork, and audiovisual materials, maintaining operational continuity throughout the transition is a top priority. Erland will work closely with NEDCC to ensure a seamless relocation, with a strategic plan in place to keep imaging and treatment labs fully operational upon move-in.

This project represents Erland’s first collaboration with NEDCC and our second with Samuel Anderson Architects. Together, we’re proud to deliver a highly specialized facility designed to advance and support the Center’s critical preservation work for years to come.
