Project Description
The project is known as "Brooks Scholl Boathouse" and located at the Brooks School campus
and on lake Cochichewick in North Andover, MA.
The project involved the demolition and removal of two existing boathouse and replacing with
one new boathouse. The new boathouse is approximately 3,770 scl ft and is constructed with
concrete, steel, and wood framing. The Foundations are concrete, First Floor framing is
structural steel with concrete deck, and the 1st floor walls and roof are wood framed.
The project has obtained the necessary town approvals from the Planning Dept, Conservation
Commission, and ZBA.

materials and equipment including but not limited to:
o First aid kit
o Drinking water
o Spare fire extinguishers
o Emergency spill kit
o MSDS information
