Manchester, NH – TFMoran of Bedford worked with SNHU and Wilson HGA to provide survey, permitting, and civil/site engineering services for the new College of Engineering, Technology and Aeronautics (CETA) at Southern New Hampshire University, located on the west side of campus.
The new three-story, 67,000sf state-of-the art academic building will be equipped with classrooms, offices and laboratories to serve the science and engineering studies at SNHU.
CETA site layout
At the main entrance, the center building is a multi-story open space where students and faculty can gather and study between classes. There are multiple community areas including open space for gathering, small rooms for study groups, and a café to grab caffeine on those long study nights.
The CETA faculty will have quality classroom and office space, and support areas for supply/equipment storage. The building strategically locates many CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) hubs, areas to provide students with an education to relate engineering fundamentals to real world systems and products.
CETA under construction
The building is unique to the SNHU campus, showcasing long sloping slate roofs transitioning into slate site walls and stone-faced foundation areas.
The project architect, Wilson HGA of Boston, gathered the CETA design-build team including Studio 2112 Landscape Architecture and general contractor Skanska USA Building, Inc.
The new facility is expected to open in fall of 2019.
