TFMoran was honored by the Structural Engineers of New Hampshire with the award in the “Buildings” category for Rockingham County Municipal Complex on May 21 during the group’s annual Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards event at the Puritan Conference Center in Manchester.
Entries were judged on creativity, complexity, innovation, ingenuity, and suitability of the structural design for each of three categories: Buildings, Bridge and Transportation Structures, and Special Structures.
The Rockingham County Municipal Complex in Brentwood, NH is the site of a new 105,500-square-foot building with a 9,800-square-foot enclosed courtyard. Thomas Lamb, PE, senior structural engineer and principal of
TFMoran, accepted the award from SENH President, Sean Brown.
The structural design consisted of a three-story office/support building in front of a single-story Y-shaped corrections wing with attached sallyport and enclosed courtyard. The three-story building houses the Registry of Deeds on the third floor, Attorney’s Office on the second floor and Sheriff’s Office at the first floor. The Sherriff’s office will also occupy the beginning part of the Y wing before transitioning to Corrections Department at the rear of the building.
The project features a pitched gable style roof and brick façade. The building was constructed of a hybrid of steel, masonry and cold formed metal framing with intermediate reinforced masonry shear walls and special moment frames for the lateral load resisting system.
Elm Grove to manage 70 affordable housing units in Newport, NH
Elm Grove Companies has announced the grand opening of the Woolen Mill Apartments, a transformative redevelopment project that brings 70 new affordable homes to Newport, New Hampshire.
This historic textile mill building, originally built in 1905, has been restored and adapted into modern apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, with stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors.
All the units reserved for income-eligible individuals through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. Other features include 12-foot ceilings, plenty of parking and views of the Sugar River, the company said in a release.
Elm Grove Companies will oversee day-to-day operations at Woolen Mill. The company currently manages over 600 workforce housing units across the state.
The project was made possible through the support of New Hampshire Housing, InvestNH, ReArch, The Town of Newport, and many others.
“The Woolen Mill Apartments will provide vital affordable housing solutions in the local community, fostering stability and opportunity for residents,” said New Hampshire Housing CEO, Rob Dapice, in a statement. “We commend Elm Grove, Jon Livadas, and their partners for their dedication to addressing the need for more homes in our state.”
An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Monday, June 9th at 10 a.m. at 169 Sunapee St, Newport, NH with local leaders, development partners, and community members in attendance.
