North Branch Construction completes phase 2 renovations at Hampshire House
North Branch Construction of Concord has completed the 2,000 s/f renovation of the Community Resources for Justice Hampshire House secure facility. The American Correctional Association accredited Hampshire House located on Elm St. serves as a Residential Reentry Center for both men and women at which they receive case management services to assure a successful return to society.
Construction included the expansion of the resident dining area, the renovation of two offices, and the renovation of a woman's dorm and bathroom. Various structural improvements were made coinciding with the newly renovated spaces. Hardwood flooring in three offices and two dormitories was restored and one existing stairwell received new paint and flooring. The main entrance's concrete stairs were also restored.
TEAM Engineering of Goffstown provided design for this project, which was completed ahead of time and under the original budget.
This is North Branch's second renovation to the Hampshire House - in 2009 the firm completed a nearly one million dollar addition and renovation to the building, which included an 800 square foot stair tower addition to the rear of the building and a partial gut demolition and interior renovation to the existing building.
Providence, RI Shawmut Design and Construction celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking for the 195 District Park Pavilion, marking the start of construction on a facility that will feature year-round dining and support space for park operations. In addition to the 3,500 s/f building, the project will include infrastructure upgrades
