JM Electrical installs automation system at NEU’s science and engineering complex

by Brianna Crandall — November 21, 2016 — JM Electrical Company, a provider of advanced automated building system installations, was selected to install an advanced automation system at Northeastern University’s (NEU) Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex (ISEC), a 220,000-square-foot development in Boston, Massachusetts.

The research facility contains six stories of wet, dry and computational labs, an auditorium, classrooms and a café. Designed by Payette and built by Suffolk Construction, the ISEC will also be LEED certified and operationally efficient. The development was built in an effort to fulfill NEU’s aspirations of growing as a research university.

JM Electrical began project operations for the automation system at ISEC in April of last year, and the research center is now up and running for NEU’s staff faculty and researchers. Mike Kemp, the foreman on the project, oversaw up to eight electricians on the construction and day-to-day operations to ensure the project was completed on time and on budget.

JM Electrical has more than 30 years of experience and expertise in the installation of advanced control and automation systems, which have been the foundation of the business. The company has completed multiple large-scale installations in the Greater Boston Area recently, including Boston Landing, Partners HealthCare and Hanscom Middle School.
