Laconia, NH – ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge, Rist-Frost-Shumway/RFS Engineering, and Harvey Construction Corporation of NH announced the completion of a new 118,000sf building for Laconia Memorial Middle School in Laconia, N.H.
The three-story building includes classrooms, administrative spaces, a library/media center, cafeteria and kitchen as well as a gymnasium and multi-purpose room. The new building serves grades six through eight and will accommodate up to 750 students. The new building replaced an existing 1961 facility on the same site.
“We just completed the final phase of the project. Phasing of demolition and new construction was required in order for the school to remain occupied during the construction process,” said Henry S. Reeder, FAIA, Principal-in-Charge of the project at ARC. “The project was designed to be a sustainable or ‘green’ building in accordance with the New England Collaborative for High Performance Schools.”
Harvey Construction Company served as general contractor for the project. RFS served as the MEP, Structural and Civil Engineer.
