Established in 1962, Focused Eye Care is now the leading eye health and vision care product provider in the greater Nashua region. When they had an opportunity to grow again, by acquiring an office condo adjoining their Nashua facility, they engaged Wellen to coordinate a multi-phased expansion and renovation project.

Work began on the newly acquired office condo, which was gutted and rebuilt with a new floor plan, new plumbing, electrical and HVAC. When portions of newly renovated space were ready, the Focused Eye Care team moved in and renovations began on their existing facility.

To connect the adjoining first-floor spaces, we removed part of a concrete wall and spanned the opening with a steel beam. To meet the city’s fire safety requirements, we installed a fire-rated overhead door (similar to a garage door) that closes during a fire alarm to isolate the spaces.

The eye care center now has over 7,000 square feet spanning two floors. It includes 12 exam rooms, a laboratory, administrative and clinician offices, and a break room for all staff. The first floor features an expansive display area for patients to select and be fitted with new eyeglasses. Work was completed in February of 2024, and the Focused Eye Care team operated uninterrupted, serving patients throughout the project.
