Newport, NH Fulcrum Associates, Inc. of Amherst, NH has broken ground for the new 28,400 s/f Newport Health Center operated by New London Hospital, a Dartmouth Hitchcock affiliate, at the Newport Shopping Center. The new building will be replacing the existing center that offers primary care, pediatrics, gynecology, podiatry, occupational health, laboratory, x-ray, mammography, and rehabilitative services. The plan calls for the demolition of the former bowling alley to provide expanded parking, and to allow for the construction of the new building in the Northeast quadrant of the site. The existing center will remain operational for the duration of construction at which point the center will relocate to the new space and current building will be razed.     

The new two-story building is designed to a transitional New England architectural style with a complement of brick veneer, clapboard and shake siding. Accent trim banding, roof cornice trim and reverse slope entrance canopy punctuate the design.     

Before foundation construction could begin, the soil conditions required the building to be supported by rammed aggregate “geopiers,” a highly engineered subsurface structural support system, designed and installed by Helical Drilling.

Dignard Architectural Services of Bedford, N.H. provided design services while CHA Consulting of Keene, N.H. provided civil engineering services for the project. Dave Doyle is serving as the owner representative on the project. The Fulcrum team is being led by Daryl Luter, project manager, and Jeff Beal, superintendent is coordinating the onsite activities.

Ask the Electrician:  How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
