Kicking off construction on a new 78,500-square-foot office building for ISO New England in collaboration with Northstar Project & Real Estate Services and Interior Architects. The new facility will provide additional space to support ISO New England’s growing workforce, while strengthening its ability to carry out its critical role in ensuring the reliable operation of New England’s bulk electric power system and administering the region’s wholesale electricity markets.

The all-electric, LEED-certified building will include space for training and visitor meetings, while helping address current office capacity constraints and improve campus security.

With sophisticated building systems and specialized infrastructure, this project requires extensive planning, coordination, and collaboration to meet ISO New England’s unique technical and operational requirements. Through a proactive, detail-driven approach, Erland is proud to help deliver a high-performance facility supporting an organization that plays a vital role in New England’s critical infrastructure.

Owner: ISO New England
Owner’s Project Manager: Northstar Project & Real Estate Services
Architect: IA interior architects

We look forward to partnering with ISO New England in delivering this project from concept to completion and support the organization’s continued growth and essential work across the region. Learn more at: https://www.erland.com/project/iso-new-england-campus-expansion/

This week, Erland joined Middlesex School, Rimkus, CBT Architects, faculty, and students to celebrate the grand opening of the Curtis Center on the school’s historic Concord campus, just as students returned for the start of a new school year.

The 106,000-square-foot field house features a state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor turf, basketball and volleyball courts, an elevated indoor track, and more, creating new spaces for the students to gather, compete, and thrive.

The ribbon cutting symbolizes years of vision, collaboration, and commitment—and the excitement that has been building among students waiting for a space of their own, where community comes first.

We’re proud to have helped bring the Curtis Center to life. Here's to generations of Middlesex students building memories for years to come!

The Story of Bob McDonald
Erland’s second President and a Shareholder

Robert “Bob” McDonald served as President of Erland Construction from 1983 to 1999, leading the company through a period of significant growth and evolution. A U.S. Air Force veteran, Bob brought discipline, integrity, and a people-first approach to leadership, qualities that left a lasting impact on Erland and the broader construction community.

Bob’s path was defined early on by determination and opportunity. In 1949, he was one of just 13 individuals to receive a scholarship from the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund. He went on to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he became captain of the golf team and, more importantly, the first in his family to attend college. That experience shaped not only his career but also his lifelong commitment to mentorship and giving back.

Throughout his career, Bob was known as a mentor and friend to many, investing in the development of those around him and helping shape the next generation of industry leaders. His dedication to the Ouimet Fund spanned decades, serving as both a board member and trustee, reinforcing his belief in creating opportunities for others.

Bob’s leadership helped define Erland’s culture—grounded in hard work, accountability, and respect for people. His legacy continues to be felt across the company today, carried forward by those he mentored and the values he instilled.

“One piece of advice from Bob that’s always stayed with me—out of many, just like with Ken—came from a round at Charles River Country Club. On the 15th hole, Bob would say: no matter how good your drive is, lay up your second shot short of the water—don’t go for the green in two. It was a simple piece of golf advice, but it perfectly reflected how Bob approached business and leadership. He believed in being strategic, disciplined, and playing the long game. It wasn’t about taking unnecessary risks for a quick win. It was about making smart, calculated decisions that set you up for success over time. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my career and continues to influence how I approach both projects and leadership today. “ – Tom Blesso / Senior Vice President

“A piece of advice from Bob that has always stayed with me is simple: don’t shoot from the hip. If you’re not sure of the answer when asked a question, say so, and commit to finding the right answer and following up. That approach speaks to Bob’s emphasis on honesty, preparation, and accountability. He believed it was far better to pause, verify, and respond thoughtfully than to give a quick answer that could lead to mistakes. It reinforced the importance of credibility and trust, both internally and with clients, and is something I still carry with me in how I communicate and make decisions today.” – Chuck Vaciliou / Senior Vice President
