Unalam employees and their families visited two signature projects that highlight the beauty, strength, and lasting value of mass timber craftsmanship.

June 25, 2026 | Unalam Team & Family Visit

On June 25, 2026, Unalam employees and their families traveled by bus to Groton, Massachusetts, for a behind-the-scenes tour of Groton Hill Music Center. The visit offered our team a meaningful opportunity to stand inside a world-class facility where Unalam’s engineering, production expertise, and craftsmanship are on full display.

Director of Marketing David RC Leary and his team welcomed our employees and guests before leading an engaging backstage tour through the 126,000-square-foot music center. From the concert stages to the music rooms, employees and families were able to see the beauty and quality of Unalam’s work firsthand and appreciate how each detail contributes to the acoustically-rated finished space.

Seeing Unalam Craftsmanship in the Community

The day continued with a visit to the historic Pepperell Covered Bridge in Pepperell, Massachusetts. Produced by Unalam in 2010, the 95-foot by 45-foot bridge features a lattice-truss design and two pedestrian walkways. As a rare all-timber bridge, it stands as another example of Unalam’s ability to create structures that are both highly functional and visually distinctive.

Together, Groton Hill Music Center and the Pepperell Covered Bridge offered a powerful reminder of what Unalam builds: not simply products, but places where people gather, move, listen, connect, and create lasting memories.

Celebrating the People Behind the Work

After the tours, the group enjoyed lunch at the picturesque Gibbet Hill Grill. Many thanks to the Gibbet Hill Grill staff for helping make the luncheon such an enjoyable part of the day.

Unalam President Craig Van Cott also recognized employees with hats, T-shirts, and gift cards. It was a fitting gesture of appreciation during a day centered on team pride, shared accomplishment, and the skilled people who make Unalam’s work possible.

Special thanks to Chief Executive Officer Lisa Fiorentino, Director of Development Catherine Coleman, Project Manager Gary Shepherd, and the Groton Hill Music Center team for their hospitality, time, and support.

From Groton to Pepperell, the day showcased the lasting impact of Unalam’s craftsmanship—and the pride our team takes in seeing that work come to life.
