Millennium Assisted Living

Freehold, N.J.

Located in Freehold, NJ, this twenty million dollar project consisted of three, two story buildings, and three three story buildings, totaling more than 180,000 square feet.  Academy Electric’s design professionals worked closely with the architect of this project to insure the 3000 AMP, 3 phase service would minimize energy costs.  Academy also worked with GPU Energy regarding the installation of the electrical service for this project.  Multiple design meetings were required between our office, the Owner, General Contractor and the designers, due top the size of the project and the anticipated changes that were made during the course of the project.  The installation of a back-up generator system to coincide with multiple life safety requirements, as well as various elevators throughout the six buildings were also several of the main concerns in the overall construction of this project.  The lighting packages, both interior and the extensive exterior site lighting for all the common courtyards, required considerable efforts on behalf of our company, as well as our suppliers.  Academy Electric prides itself on building a project of this size, by completing the project within the timelines required by both the Owner and the General Contractor.  Project Cost - $1,400,000.
