Situated on the Connecticut River, with views of Fall Mountain in New Hampshire, the Green Mountain Railway yard, and the historic Bellows Falls Canal, the new Bellows Falls Garage offers 27 affordable housing units in downtown Bellows Falls, Vermont. This once-dilapidated building from the 1920s has housed a car dealership and garage, a maintenance shop, a sign shop, dry cleaners, and even a commune. The original intention was to renovate the 100-year-old building, but the high cost of converting the fragile concrete structure into housing necessitated its demolition and replacement with a new building. DEW Construction collaborated with the Windham and Windsor Housing Trust in redeveloping this brownfield site into a 31,879 GSF multifamily housing building. The structure, designed by Gossens Bachman Architects, contains five studio apartments, eighteen one-bedroom apartments, and four two-bedroom apartments. The first floor comprises a mailroom, resident reading room, and a for-rent retail space at the northern entrance to downtown Bellows Falls. Designed for high performance and energy efficiency, the structure employs an electric/propane heating system with active energy recovery ventilation. Future plans include the installation of a 30 kW solar photovoltaic array. The building’s design deviates from the typical rectangular box due to the irregular shape of the building lot. As a result, the apartments within it feature intriguing angles, giving the entire structure a distinct and unique appearance. This departure from the norm creates […]

On June 21st, DEW Construction, in collaboration with the South Burlington School District and Dore + Whittier Architects, broke ground on the $6M Zero Energy Modulars (ZEMs) project at Rick Marcotte Central School and Orchard School. These two elementary schools within the District have faced space challenges for years due to a substantial increase in enrollment, leading to shared classrooms, transformed offices, and utilizing temporary trailers as office space. The ZEMs will give the expanding student population much-needed room to grow. The ZEMs are factory-built by KBS Builders, Inc., and are highly efficient modular units that allow for improved quality control and speedier assembly timeframes. Because ZEMs are built with high-performance insulation, triple-pane windows, and efficient HVAC systems, their annual energy consumption is lower than that of a standard structure of the same size. The ZEMs are “net zero energy ready,” meaning their annual energy usage may be offset by installing on-site renewables like solar panels or wind turbines. By the fall of 2023, each school will be outfitted with 12 ZEMs, providing four classrooms per grade and two smaller group rooms totaling around 1,000 SF at each location, 13,416 GSF in total. The ZEMs are weatherproof and will be connected to the schools by means of corridors. In attendance were Superintendent Violet Nichols, Senior Director of Operations and Finance Tim Jarvis, School Board Member Kate Bailey, RMCS Principal Lissa […]
