Medical Associates Plans New $2M Facility

Staff reports - December 27, 2007

WILLIAMSTOWN — A local medical practice is planning to replace its half-century old building with a smaller, more efficient structure.

Williamstown Medical Associates will demolish its current building after the new $2 million facility opens, which is expected to be in January 2009.

According to a report in the North Adams Transcript, the new building will be 10,000 square feet, nearly 4,000 square feet smaller than the current one. It will be built near the old building on the medical practice's Adams Road property, a 3.4-acre site that is only half developed.

The parking lot's 102 spaces will be cut in half. Dr. Robert Jandl, president of the medical associates, told the Transcript that the reduction in spaces shouldn't cause any parking problems because some departments, such as obstetrics/gynecology, have relocated to the new doctor's building, the Ambulatory Care Center, at the North Adams Regional Hospital.

Doctors will continue to practice out of the current building until the new one opens. Jandl told the Transcript he hopes to break ground on April 1.

The 50 planned parking spaces will exceed the limit for a 10,000 square-foot building by 10 spaces. The Zoning Board of Appeals will hear a request for a special permit for the parking spaces, as well as for permission for overflow parking on unpaved areas, at its Jan. 17 meeting. It will also have to approve the construction of a professional office in a residential district.

Funding is being supplied by Williamstown Savings Bank; the designer is BBL Medical Facilities of Albany, N.Y., which planned the new doctor's building. The site engineering report was filed Friday by Guntlow & Associates of Williamstown.
